The fine folks over at TechGraphs hired me yesterday as a writer. TechGraphs is in the family of FanGraphs and The Hardball Times, both baseball sites. Ripped straight from the About section:

TechGraphs provides news, analysis, reviews, and opinion about technology’s role in the world of sports. Fans engage with sports apps and web sites more than ever. Player-tracking systems are allowing us unprecedented insight into the game. We can get updates about our fantasy teams sent right to our wrists. Technology is burrowing itself deeper and deeper into the sports world, and TechGraphs is here to cover when it happens. It goes beyond just gadgets and apps. TechGraphs looks at how tech is affecting sports themselves, as well as our engagements with them.

I’ll be contributing part-time with content and full-time with my heart. And they’ll throw some money at me for my efforts. I’ll let you know once I start contributing. Clicks, shares and likes will be much appreciated and will go a long way. You guys got this, right?

Anyway, this is about how I felt yesterday.

I can’t imagine laser tattoo removal is as easy as the gif below. If I had a bunch of money to invest, this is an area I’d look in to. All those tramp stamps gotta come off somehow, right?

It’s Friday. You ain’t got a job. You ain’t got shit to do. I’m gonna get you tatted by the end of the day.

This is what getting a tattoo looks like in slow motion. It’s also how my chins jiggles when I walk. FML.

(T)GIF – In Memory of Hank Conger

The Angels traded catcher Hank Conger on Wednesday to the Houston Astros in exchange for a young pitcher and minor league catcher. This gif is for him.

Conger, the Angels first-round pick in 2006, is a local boy. He attended Huntington Beach High School and grew up an Angels fan. I’m pretty sure he’s going to go to Houston and find the bat that made him a top pick now that he’s out Mike Scioscia’s “catchers only catch” grip (see Mike Napoli).

Also, this happened last year…

Good luck in Houston, Conger. I wish the Angels gave you the at-bats to succeed offensively in Anaheim.

Rabbits freak me out. They always have. Their beady little eyes. Their beady little poop. Their propensity to procreate. Bunnicula. This GIF doesn’t help my hatred.
