Man I love the spring. Baseball, longer days and life returning to the foliage, what’s not to love? Well maybe if you are a communist you might hate these things, but then again do I need to call McCarthy? How was your week? Mine was good with birthday celebrations for my son and I. Hopefully you have a great weekend and look forward to catching up next week. So enjoy this week’s edition of Five for Friday.
A digital Fenway Park – today is opening day at Boston’s historic Fenway Park. So needless to say, an article about the behind-the-scenes modern digital technology that makes the experience just fit this week’s edition. Now if the Sox could get it together.

Boy Finds Grenade During Easter Egg Hunt In Britain – file this under scary shit for parents. Seriously how can a WWII grenade still just be lying around?

Speaking as someone who has referenced White Men Can’t Jump, the Bachelor, Clueless, and Rudy in his presentations, I can appreciate the criticism that I should have 100%, absolutely, without a doubt, realized the perfect fit for a Rocky soundtrack reference in this post, and for that, I heartily apologize.
@sradick Damn right! And I can forgive you 🙂
