CHICAGO - Wrigley Field is going to be the frozen confines on New Year's Day 2009 when the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings meet the Chicago Blackhawks outdoors in the home park of the Chicago Cubs.

GO WINGS, on New Years Day (of course, any other time too...but especially then)!

Dallas Drake, the 39 year old stalwart NHL Journeyman has announced his retirement.  As a fan of the Wings who was even following them when Drake played with them the first time, I was so happy that he was able to go out on top with a hoist of the cup as his final act on the ice as a Red Wing.

Here's to you Mr. Drake!

I finally got a real chance to sit down and actually go through the first couple entries last night, and I have to say that, even though I haven't been at all into Mind Mapping thus far, this way of showing it, talking about it, breaking it down, may really pique my interest.

Chris gives a great list of Mind Mapping resources/related blogs in the 2nd post, and then does a fun "geek culture" related application of Mind Mapping for us with a Characters of Battlestar Galactica mindmap.'

Looking forward to seeing what Chris brings to us next.

Please blog about any and all things you can about your experiences, likes, dislikes, killer apps (free ones are best of course...), anything... The more I read, the more excited I'll get, and the better the payoff at the end.

Happy 3GiPhoning!

Fortunately I had my ear to the pavement near the end of last week and before I got to the end of this week and in the likely long line to get my new "precious" phone, I did some checking on my current AT&T equipment upgrade eligibility and the repercussions that would have on the cost of obtaining an iPhone 3G. 

Suffice to say I would have been a very unhappy camper when my non-eligible-for-discount cost would have been $499 for the 16GB model I was wanting, instead of the $299 I was expecting to spend.

It seems that our family's phones service/equipment contracts don't finish up until early September.

It's going to be hard, but I think I can endure the further 2 month wait while I sit back and try to consume all the information I can about the best app store offerings, the best tricks and tips with the new item, any possible software bug fixes or enhancements, possible storage SIZE upgrades (that would be nice...erm...yeah) before I lay my hands on my new toy.

So needless to say, I'll take any advise, etc. that any of you want to send my way, if you, yourself, are going to be procuring your iPhone 3G on Friday or in the near future (at least before I will).

I think it'll be good to have a battle for the number 2 spot behind Ozzie at camp this year, we need a strong backup regardless as we don't want to ride Ozzie like San Jose rides Nabby.

A Very Happy Birthday to Mr. Bruce Elgort, Mr. Mikkel Heisterberg, and certainly not least, my dad - Robert Randolph, who is turning 78 today.

We'll be driving up to Michigan after Zach's baseball game tonight to visit my parents over the holiday and weekend, and of course, celebrate Dad's birthday tonight.
