OK, this might be the coolest marketing idea ever. It’s a personalized message about the upcoming Snakes on a Plane movie in the voice of Samuel Jackson. It will actually dial the phone number of the recipient and he will address them by their name, mention their job, how they look, what kind of car, they drive, etc.

How much for #715?
Bidding on the Barry Bonds homerun ball #715 started this afternoon on eBay. The bidding starts at $10,000. The last Barry Bonds “milestone” ball (#700) went for $804,129 back in October 2004. Something tells me that this ball won’t go for anywhere near that amount. My prediction: $50,000. In unrelated news, Mr. Bonds turned 42 (!) today.7/25 Update:
The bidding is off to a very slow start. 6 bids so far and the latest offer is only $11,500.
7/26 Update:
OK, so much for my prediction. 42 bids now and the price is up to $125K with 8 days left on the auction.

First Place Giants
I had a great time at the Giants game Saturday night. A warm summer night and the Giants won their fifth straight and moved into first place in the NL West, a half game ahead of the Padres. How long will it last??? More photos here.
7/26 Update:
Well, that didn’t last very long. Three straight losses, two blown saves from Blownitez in the last three games and the Giants are now in third place, three games behind the Padres. Argh!
