In recent months, I've learned that we do, in fact, have certain restrictions to our internet access here. It's about the barest of securities, but we can't access sites with "sex" or "porn" in the URL. (I noticed this because of various news articles - I won't deny ever looking at sex or porn on the internet, but I'm not so stupid as to actually do it at work.) Anyway, the interns and I were chatting about ballparks, and we wanted to look up PNC Park. Apparently, the word "pirate" is also blocked. I'm so amused.

I could understand "butpirate" but just "pirate"?

Yep. No clue why. I'll have to ask my boss (he's out of the office today).

Ha! My first thought was Napster, but this is WAY better!

That's because they don't want you downloading pirated software (illegal) on your computer versus licensed software (legal).

Ooooh, of course. That makes sense. But it's so much less entertaining to have a logical answer like that than to think that they may want to ban us from pulling up information on guys with eye patches and wooden legs.

I think I'm GOING to PNC Park next week! I'll send pictures. Not that you care, I'm just excited about possibly going to my very first major league anything game!

Yay! Have a blast. Baseball games are so much fun in person. I'm a huge fan, but even I have a hard time watching on TV.
