I'm not a big Java guy. I've written a bit, and I have no problem with the language per se, but I've just never been a fan.

However...one of the most useful things to me out there on the web, aside from email, is a Java app. It is the best use of Java ever, and to be honest with you, I can't live without it.

Of course, I'm talking about ESPN GameCast. Now that I'm out of New England, I don't get many chances to watch or listen to Sox games...and I live and die by the Sox. GameCast is the next best thing, pitch by pitch coverage with realtime stats, that I can keep my eye on while I work or watch TV. I love you GameCast.

Looking below...kind of appropos that I'm listening to the song, since my boys are in the Bronx doing battle with the bombers...I hate the Yankees by the way, with the white-hot intensity of 1000 suns. GO SOX!!
