I haven’t had a chance to watch the Seahawks play yet this preseason, but I did come across this amusing video diary that Matt Hasselbeck did for the NFL Network today. Matt is a pretty funny guy and I got a kick out of watching him banter with his teammates.

I got in quite a bit of sports this weekend. I watched GU finally beat USD at USD (in overtime no less). Then today I caught the end of the Jags/Titans game and all of the Rams/Bucs game. I was surprised by the outcome of the first game and pleased with the second as it means Jeff Robinson, one of my dad’s former basketball players, will be playing in the Super Bowl. Another weekend has come and gone. Work has been going well overall though so I can’t feel too bad.

I actually have quite a bit of space now that I’ve cleaned up some of the clutter in my apartment. It’s a nice feeling. I’ve been thinking about doing a site redesign for a while now, but I haven’t started on it yet. I think I should be able to find time during the coming week though.

I didn’t watch any of the playoff games this past weekend, but it’s definitely cool to see a bunch of fresh teams in the NFL playoffs. CNNSI‘s Peter King gives a pretty good rundown on this week’s match ups.

Incidentally, Jeff Robinson, one of my dad‘s former players, scored a touchdown for the Rams in yesterday’s game against the Vikings. He was a starter for the Ferris basketball team that finished second in the Washington AAA state tournament in 1988.

Amusing Javascript fun for the whole family. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to play with the Magic Ghetto 8 Ball.

The Seahawks managed to lose by 3 to Miami today in a disappointing final appearance at the Kingdome. I’m looking forward to seeing what Coach Holmgren can do in the off season when he puts on his general manager’s hat. Judging by today’s performance he might start looking at beefing up the Offensive Line. Just a thought.

Ah, how northwest sporting fortunes can change from day to day. Yet another bad outing for the Seahawks as San Diego pulls of f a 19-16 victory at the Kingdome.

MacCentral has the latest word on the Unreal Tournament release. I’m leaning towards buying it when it comes out, although there is a lot of other far more useful software that I may decide to spend my money on before then like Fireworks, REALbasic, or Frontier 6.1.

I caught most of the second half of the Colts Dolphins game and enjoyed it quite a bit. You’ve got to love a close football game like this one. I was especially interested in the Colts after reading this cover article on Payton Manning in Sports Illustrated a couple weeks back. Unfortunately it’s not available on line.

It’s a small net world! I discovered not just one, but two nifty Washington State based Internet comics. Ether Life is the creation of Seattle resident Zach Stroum, while Penny Arcade is the product of two talented fellow Spokane-ites who go by the handles Gabriel and Tycho Brahe. Both comics are very computer geek/gaming oriented, so I found them especially amusing and topical given my recent renewed interest in Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament.

Today was not a good day for the Seahawks.

It also wasn’t much of a day as far as me accomplishing anything.

I think I’m going to be gladder than usual that I don’t live in Seattle this week when the World Trade Organization comes to town. Seattle Weekly has a special supplement offering coverage of the event.

Okay, what can I say? Joey Galloway came out after just a week of practice and delivered tonight against the Broncos. I’m still annoyed that he turned down a fair offer.
