I'd already explored YouTube when setting up my blog and I'd downloaded several videos to my blog, which you can check out below: Bobby Weir and Kingfish performing "Promised Land," the Dead doing the same song at the 1972 festival in Venata, Oregon, and "The Play" (the kickoff runback for a touchdown on the very last play of the 1982 Big Game between Cal and Stanfurd that brought victory to my Golden Bears). If you haven't looked at them, you should; they're all pretty cool. I like Hulu a lot; I found the original "Bedazzled" with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook, and if I had a computer at home, I could watch the entire movie. I also looked at brief clips from TV shows "Miami Vice" and "Buffy" and was impressed with the site. Not so much with Fancast: it wasn't as easy to use as Hulu, and even though there were more TV shows available, their film catalogue was pathetic. Anyway, these sites could be very useful to show to patrons, as they could watch TV episodes immediately rather than waiting for months on a long hold list for library DVDs.
And although Oakland was shut out last night 4-0, they're still tied with the Angels for first place in the AL West at 22-15. And as for the Mariners, well...they were shut out for the THIRD STRAIGHT GAME! Too bad, so sad... And here's a photo of some of the key A's players (and the owner they loved to hate, Charlie Finley) of that great 1972 World Championship team, the first of 4 in the illustrious history of the Oakland Athletics. More on that club on future blogs...Let's Go A's!
