Last night I downloaded Pennant from the HP App Catalog ($4.99) and took it for a brief test spin... I really liked what I saw!
What is Pennant?
Pennant is a database of all MLB games since the early 50's that's served up in a unique data visualization format that will probably blow you away at first glance, but will ultimately pull you back in for more and more.
Check it out at http://www.pennant.cc/index.php
BTW, the first game I checked out was from August 1963 between the Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians... my first visit to Fenway Park!

My TouchPad Today: That was a Fast Fifty Dollars from HP!
Back on August 8 I did a post called Not So Fast, HP! which was about the $50 app catalog credit given to assuage early adopters who missed out on the original, pre-firesale price reduction on the TouchPad.
The $50 didn't even come close to making up for the poor state of the TP at its July 1 debut.
They did a little better on that front later when they rebated the extra we paid and got our cost down to the firesale price.
But getting back to the fast $50...
In that August post I was bitching about how the $50 credit wasn't actually going to cost HP $50 and how most users would be hard-pressed to spend that amount on apps before the credit expired at the end of the year.
Well, it turns out that I've spent the fast $50. ($49.93, to be exact) Shazam!
Lets take a look at some of what I downloaded to burn through these bonus bucks..
How did you burn -- or not burn -- through your $50 credit from HP?
