I was recommended this handy program called List Garden by my friend Joel. It’s an open source RSS feed generator/editor, it’s prety cool. I may use it for my jappaneseballplayers.com site… rebuilding of it is a long process…
‘Tis the time of the year. Baseball players signing up with another unthinkable (to me anyway) amounts of money. USA today has awesome Baseball salaries database. Very cool.
