The website If It Was My Home has an interactive map that superimposes the current size of the BP oil disaster over your home. This lets you visualize the grand scale of the spill against a geographic reference that you can relate to. It’s updated daily. My map shows the spill as of July [...]

Upcoming Gig – The BlackTails – Harrisburg Jazz Fest – Jul 4

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: July 3, 2010
I figure everyone’s got plans and/or will be nowhere near Harrisburg, PA this weekend, but I’m playing with The BlackTails at the 2010 Harrisburg Jazz and Multi-Cultural Festival. It’s going to be a long day, driving out and hitting and driving back. I lived near Harrisburg from 4th to 6th grade, so it [...]

Let the Fans Vote on Perfect Game

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: June 6, 2010
So here’s what I would have told Bud Selig if he made that 3 AM call to me Wednesday night for advice on how to handle the situation surrounding the blown call that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game.  Okay, even if Bud would have called me, he probably would have waited til 10 AM [...]

It’s been over 30 years since I carried lunch to school with a Space Shuttle Enterprise Lunch Box, but the launch videos are still incredibly exciting to watch.

Blues #1

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: May 2, 2010
I stole the title of this post from a tune wrote in 1997, but really it’s about my first softball game with The Blues at Central Park today. Everyone from last year’s team Heroes bailed this year, so I hit up Sean Taylor for a spot on his squad. These guys play all the time [...]

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: April 29, 2010
Just because I don’t want a dog humping my leg doesn’t mean I’m not a dog person.  Likewise, I enjoy Facebook, but I don’t want Mark Zuckerberg humping my leg.  That’s the feeling I got today when my Facebook profile prompted me to convert my listed interests into links to Pages.  This article explains the [...]

Welcome Back, Softball!

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: April 25, 2010
Yesterday, I played my first softball since last August, and boy am I sore! The fine folks of the Magnet Theater reserved time at Whitey Ford Field, a baseball-sized field right on the waterfront in Astoria. Everyone was really cool and had a super fun time. We finished the first game early, so played [...]

Earth Day with The Lorax

By Kevin Danenberg | Published: April 22, 2010
The Lorax was one of my favorite top three books as a child, and I suspect played a large role in my interest in the environment as an adult. With Earth Day on my mind, I searched YouTube for The Lorax not expecting to find anything (someone keeps the Internet fairly scoured clean of [...]
