Dorks And Losers

My favorite DVD web­site orga­nizer DVDSpot has been sold. It’s been a week since I last logged onto the site. I just fin­ished watch­ing The Foun­tain and I wanted to input it into my recently viewed. But sadly, I got an error page.

I googled “dvdspot” and I got this web­page that redi­rected me back to the dvdspot.com page and the error page. I clicked on the cached link and I got this.

CNET bought DVDSpot. (Par­don the small screenshots)

Kind of a weird con­nec­tion, but I guess it kind of makes sense since CNET is a tech­nol­ogy media com­pany, but it would have made even more sense if DVDTalk or another DVD web­site bought it instead.

Hope­fully in a few hours, I will be able to update my account. Hope­fully it also looks bet­ter than before. Maybe a look more closer to a Web 2.0 website.

I looked this morn­ing and DVDSpot was up and run­ning as if noth­ing had hap­pened. No sign of any­thing with CNET on it.

Great story out of Kansas City and how base­ball is a mag­i­cal sport.

Mike Sweeney of the Kansas City Roy­als promised to hit a home run for 11-year-old Matt Hern­don who was sched­uled to have brain surgery.

“He called me about it,” Sweeney said, “and I was chok­ing back tears.”

The power of baseball.
