I love San Francisco. We have free wifi when we come to ballgames here. And the Giants page that comes up with the WiFi is pretty interesting too! (It shows lots of stats of the ballgame we’re watching).
Patrick says he doesn’t like baseball. I told him that there’s Garlic Fries and free WiFi and he’s happy now.
So, if you’re in San Francisco and you attend a baseball game, remember to bring your mit AND your laptop!
Giants won 8-0.

I’ll bet you a dollar you can’t do anything without your electronic leash being used.

You’d win! I don’t take bets like that.
And even if you took away my laptop I still have my cell phone.

In the spirit of all things blogging and sports, the two intersect very well at Sports Blogs Nation, which has blogs for all 30 major league teams, and is rapidly growing to many other sports.

I’m quite preferential to the A’s site, Athletics Nation at:

If you prefer the Giants, and that’s fine, through the first week of October, when their season will end, you can try McCovey Chronicles.

Scoble - we’ve got playoff tickets to the A’s and intend to use them. Want to show Patrick a great team, and you’ll have to come across the bay, WiFi be damned.

Inside the Bubble Thinking
I spent the better part of a decade working inside the Beltway (the insider’s term for the Washington, DC area). Most who work there for any length of time develop a healthy concern for inside the Beltway thinking. That is,

oh I meant all the leashes.
Sad in a way, to be so insecure about your standing on the “A list” that you can’t set it all aside, not even for a ball game.

John: You know what’s really lame? That I can’t visit San Francisco with Patrick without being dragged into the Apple store. Watch Flickr for more photos.

I can’t decide what I want more - a day at the ballpark, a notebook like yours or those damn fries.
The fact that you some how managed to get them all at once and hang with your son at the same time is priceless!
August 27th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
just try and keep the grease from the garlic fries off your keyboard and you’ll be OK

I’ll trade a day at the ballpark for any laptop anyday of the week. Nothing is more priceless than enjoying a ballgame on a sunny afternoon, and even better being there with one of your kids, scorecard in hand, sun shinning.
I pity the folks that feel they need to have either a laptop or a cell phone at all times for fear they may miss an opportunity to share their bloviating with the rest of the world. Yet another sign the Apocolypse is upon us.
Just because the ballpark has WiFi doesn’t mean you have to use it.

Scorecards online are far superior to paper ones. We only pulled the computers out in the eighth inning, though. Hey, they wouldn’t have put free Wifi in the park if they were expecting no one to use it.
But the apocolypse is coming.

So now you need Empower sockets so you don’t run out of juice in the middle of the game right? What’s the world coming to! :)
Game on…!

[...] While reading a post by Scoble on WiFi being present at the SF Giants stadium, I came across seatguru.com, a site dedicated to everything related with airliner seats. You can search by airline, then load seating maps for most of their fleets, and the best part - they have color-coded the seats, so you can quickly see what seats are good, and which ones can make you feel like spam-in-a-can (movie quote, The Right Stuff). [...]

[...] Apparently Scoble went to a San Francisco Giants game last night. I guess the stadium has free WiFi. LOL. That is awesome. I don’t know if I would ever bring my laptop to a baseball game but its pretty sweet that I could. [...]

Hi Robert did you check the small print on the ticket? when I was in Seattle i was taken to see the Seahawks play, being from the UK, I settled down to read the smallprint on the ticket, apparently you are forbidden to take images inside the stadium or transmit and receive etc etc So I wasnt sure what the free WiFi was for! Certainly not for blogging about the game :-)
August 28th, 2006 at 11:08 am
I was at that game too! Although I didn’t bring a laptop, I did enjoy some garlic fries! :)
August 28th, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Wow - those garlic fries look … fantastic.
