Saya 2013 Ramalan MLB

Besbol – agak mungkin perkara yang paling besar dicipta oleh manusia.

Ia adalah masa tahun. Rumput hijau yang subur, trek amaran tanah liat merah dan yg bersampingan dgn pemilikan, pangkalan putih bersih, anjing panas panas, slushies berais, retak kayu. Musim besbol.

Dan hari pembukaan hari ini. Diberikan, terdapat hanya satu permainan hari ini, tetapi ia diambil kira. (Most teams’ first game of the season is tomorrow, April 1st.) Regardless, today is a great day for all baseball fans, including me.

Background info: there are 30 teams in the MLB (major league baseball), and each plays 162 games in the regular season. The teams are split into 6 divisions of 5 teams each. The teams in each division with the most wins, lebih 4 wild-card teams, move on to the playoffs.

Many baseball fans and experts – including me – take this time to predict how many games each team will win this season, as well as which team will “win” their division. Terdapat 2,430 games in the regular season, so we just concern ourselves with that for now. Playoff stuff comes later.

I’m a big baseball fan, so I figure this year I’ll chime in with my predictions and picks for who wins the division. I’m just a humble fan – not even close to an expert – so take my predictions with a grain of salt.

I’ve written down how I think each team will do (wins/losses), plus some analysis that’s loaded with baseball jargon. Avoid the analysis if you don’t know too much about baseball. Remember that the top team in every division (rank 1) gets to move on to the playoffs, so everyone is fighting for that spot.

Dan, tanpa berlengah-lengah lagi, my predictions & picks.

Ikut 2012 pilihan raya dengan Google Politik pilihan raya tracker

tl;dr -check out Google’s awesome political election tracker

I’m a political junkie, jadi saya berikutan proses Parti Republik pada tahun ini dengan semangat yang aku, juga seorang fanatik besbol, ikuti besbol – yang mengatakan, amat. Dan perkara-perkara utama dalam musim pilihan raya untuk menonton keluar untuk adalah pilihan raya sendiri – dalam kes ini tahun ini, utama setiap negara di mana calon-calon Republikan bersaing.

Pilihan raya yang hebat, tetapi untuk menikmati sepenuhnya mereka saya perlu statistik. Saya memerlukan keputusan. Saya memerlukan data. Saya perlu graf sejuk. Saya memerlukan tracker politik yang besar. Oleh itu, mencari apa yang saya dapati:

Saya (percuma) Kindle reading list

Turns out there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but there is such thing as a free book.

The cover of the Odyssey
Available for the low price of $0.00

I recently got a Kindle (the old kind, without a touch screen or 3G or a color screen or anything) for an internship I’m working on. I figured I’d get some books to read while I was at it (might as well use the Kindle for what it’s intended), so I opened up the Kindle Store on my Kindle and prepared to buy a few books.

The first book on my list was Homer’s Odyssey, which I’m currently reading in English class. I scrolled though some of the results looking for the cheapest copy. $12.50, $2.50, $0.00, $1.00, $2.00… hm, looks like I’ll get the $1 one… wait, what?!?

Cadangan sedikit radikal untuk sekolah

I’ve often been asked the question “If you could be king of the world for a day, what would you do?” First of all, I’d make myself king permanently, tetapi itu bukan titik. Berikut adalah cadangan sedikit radikal saya yang akan menjadi perkara yang kedua yang saya akan lakukan jika saya raja untuk sehari.

I’m part of a club that takes out the recycling in our school in the morning. Let me tell you, we collect a lot of paper: if I collect the paper of maybe 15 rooms that haven’t had their paper collected in a few days, I can fill up a whole trash can. Not the small trash cans you have in your house, I mean ones as big as janitors use. That’s a lot.

Seeing “Friday” in a different light

If you want a break from the tech talk…

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month, you’ve probably heard of (and had the misfortune of listening to) Rebecca Black’s Friday. Anda tahu, that song with the 13-year-olds driving cars and the nasally teenager wondering where to sit? That one.

After a shocking experience (more about that later), I’ve had to start questioning why I (and pretty much everyone I know) hate the song. Breaking it down:

  • The lyrics are junk, but most pop songs have meaningless lyrics anyway.
  • The tune’s pretty catchy, no faults there.
