Wishing all the BCB readers and other Giants fans a very happy Thanksgiving. We’ve got a lot to be thankful for — Grant points out an excellent case in particular — and I hope that everyone has a safe, happy, and fruitful holiday. It’s the time of year to catch up with loved ones and [...]

Borking Things
I’m in the process of changing over the theme design for BCB today, and as a result, things may look broken now and then. The new theme should be great once I get it up-and-running but it might be a little bumpy in the meantime.
To Do List:
1. Change link and menu colors
2. Remove logo
3. Create [...]
Taking a Hiatus For Great Reasons
I’ll be away from BCB for the next week and a half. On Saturday, October 4th, I’ll be getting married and then me and the future wife — I’ll have to get used to saying that — will be heading off to Jamaica for a weeks worth of (hopefully) sun.
If I tried to bring my [...]
Bad Behavior Behaving Badly
A quick site note, I updated BCB’s version of Bad Behavior this afternoon and I’m running into some problems with the comments. Bad Behavior is a php-based solution that deters spambots from clogging up this site. I’m working to resolve this issue shortly but until then, trying to post comments will just spit out an [...]
Changes
You might notice that BCB looks a little different today. I’ve decided to change the layout because I was starting to run into some problems with our past theme. Mostly minor stuff.
This theme is a lot like the last one, it’s pretty basic and simple. That’s what I enjoy about webpages. Give me barebones over [...]
Hiccups and Bad Announcing
Apologies to anyone who tried to access the site earlier this morning. Our host was having some hiccups that caused us to go down for a little bit. I use Dreamhost to host BCB and overall, I’ve had pretty good results with them. They tend to have small patches of downtime which can be frustrating [...]
Rest in Peace, George.

Carlin certainly needs no introduction from me or anyone else. He was iconic. He was a comedian that I think everyone knew about, even if they didn’t follow comedy (which always seemed weird to me). You’ll probably read a lot in the following days about how shocking or revolutionary he was, and maybe that’s [...]
Quick Site Update
A quick word, I’ve enabled a caching plugin this morning. It should increase the load times and responsivenesses of the site. I’ve read some things that say a user could get served a ‘blank page’ now and then, and it if it happens to you personally, please send me an email with your problem so [...]
Real Life Calls
I’m currently doing one of my least favorite things besides watching the Giants lose; packing up all my stuff and moving. Moving has to be one of the most excruciating and painful tasks that anyone can undertake in this day-and-age. The constant quest for cardboard boxes, moving heavy furniture, and then moving it again all [...]
New Theme
I’ve decided to change the look of Bay City Ball just a little. What you’re looking at is the new theme that I’m going to be using. This is the fourth incarnation of the site. It’s a little more simple and basic and hopefully easier to read. Everything isn’t running completely the way I’d like [...]
