During the recent UCB Weekend in St. Louis, several of us in attendance had an opportunity to sit through a rather well-honed elevator pitch from the folks at Burton History Trees. I usually don’t listen to a lot of details about business plans, business models, and product design, because my actual job involves far too […]

There’s nothing quite like opening day at Busch Stadium. This year, the Cardinals have selected former Cardinal great Jim Edmonds to throw out the first pitch. As I’ve already suggested, I believe it would be apropos for Jimmy Ballgame to launch it from either CF or the bullpen just because he’s awesome enough to do […]

The Versus network was showing “Greatest MLB Rivalries: Cardinals vs Cubs” the other night, and I happily volunteered one hour of my life to watching the show. I pretty much know the contents by heart, but I never pass up the opportunity to listen to a retelling of the “Curse of the Billy Goat“. […]

I usually visit the #stlcards tweets a few times a week to see what exactly the rest of the Cardinal nation tweeps have on their minds, and I frequently find someone amusing to follow in the process. If you are interested, please feel free to check out the list of people I follow. Occasionally, a topic […]
