If you frequently make presentations at business meetings or at school, then I’ve got a website that I think you’ll find to be very useful. It’s called Projector123.com and is the homepage for a company that provides projector rental services anywhere in the U.S. (that includes Hawaii and Alaska), Canada, and Puerto Rico.

All you have to do is place your order on the website, let Projector123.com know where you want the projector shipped, and they’ll send it via FedEx so that it’s waiting at your designated location when you need it. The whole process is fast, simple, and affordable, so keep Projector123.com in mind then next time you require the use of an LCD projector!

I just came across a very helpful website that I wish I’d discovered back when I was setting up my blogs a few months ago. The site is called Website To Dos and it provides users with a useful checklist of to-do items that will help optimize their own site’s functionality, accessibility, and appearance.

Website To Dos currently addresses four different topics: Content, Web Design, Form, and Web Servers. In turn, each of these topics has subtopics, so there’s quite a bit of information on the site.

I liked the way the articles were written in clear, simple language that was easy to understand — even for a non-technical person like myself. I was able to glean several great tips just from spending a short time on the site, and will try to implement some of these tips in the near future. For example, I learned why it’s important to set up a custom 404 page. This is not something that I’ve ever done before, but you can bet I’ll get one worked up very soon!

There are a lot of other places out there that advise people on how to set up and maintain websites, but none of them cover all the bases like Website To Dos. Check it out today!

I watched the Seattle-Boston game in its entirety earlier, and have to say that I was very impressed by the pitching of …. Felix Hernandez! This kid (just turned 21 on Sunday) has been hyped by the Mariners’ organization for 2 years now, but I never saw him turn in a dominant performance until this game. I can finally see why the M’s are so high on him. Hopefully he can pitch like this for the whole year.

On the other hand, Matsuzaka looked like an average No.3 starter. He went 7 innings and gave up 8 hits along with three earned runs while striking out four and walking one. Daisuke didn’t yield a hit to Ichiro, but Kenji Jojima lined two doubles off him.

I was watching the international broadcast from Japan — the first time I’ve heard American announcers call a Matsuzaka game. Wow, I was going crazy over the pronunciation of his name. Drove me up the wall. It’s not Matt-su-zaka, it’s Maht-su-zaka. (Actually, it’s Ma-tsu-za-ka.) That freakin’ nickname of his doesn’t help, either, because it leads people to think that his first name consists of just two syllables. It doesn’t. It’s Da-i-su-ke. The third and fourth are blended in this particular case, but still. It works out to Da-i-skay. Saying Dice-K puts the accent in the wrong place and makes me nuts. Am I nitpicking? Uh huh.
