The Celtics celebrate their NBA Championship, just like all the other sports teams do in Boston… in Duck Boats! Yesterday, the Celtics traveled from the TD Banknorth Garden to Copley Square while fans gathered around to watch the Green flaunt their victory. Unfortunately, I had to work and logistically could not take the day off. One of my friends who was on PACE with me, Dan Fornash, went to the rolling rally and allowed me to use these pictures in my blog. Thanks Dan!

The next few pictures are fans gathering along the streets of Boston waiting for the duck boats to pass.
From the begining of the season to the rolling rally, the Boston Celtics made all of Boston forget last year and turn over a new leaf…and a new era of Champions!

Except for the fact that the Mozilla website was down most of the day, Firefox 3 was released today and it is looking real nice. Most of my extensions were compatible and the rest will be updated hopefully soon.
The Boston Celtics are currently closing in on their 17th championship. I decided to spend the time with my parents and mainly my father instead of going into Boston which is what my original plan was.
* Update: The total for today is just shy of 4 million downloads.

Unfortunately it isn’t, however, the history channel showed never before seen footage of the relic that resides in Etchmiadzin, Armenia. Very interesting at least, Enjoy!
I am in transit to another bar on the MBTA and I thought I would write a quick post. We have already been to 17 or so bars and it has been awesome. My friends and I met up with a bunch of other people that we knew and traveled around Boston bar hopping. We started at Tequila rain and the Fenway bars and then headed to Allston.
That’s about it since we are getting off the train now.

What an amazing game by the Celtics tonight. If you stopped watching the game after the 1st quarter, you screwed up big time. The Celtics were down by 24 points at one point and 18 points going into the 3rd quarter. With 6 minutes (or so) in the 3rd, the Celtics pulled together one of the greatest comebacks in NBA history. The only one better, was the Celtics Eastern conference championship comeback in 2002 while down by 26 points at one point and 21 points going into the 4th quarter. The Lakers thought they were going to make it 2-2, but the Celtics never gave up and took a 3-1 lead winning 97-91.
The Celtics homepage after the win said they were down by a lot going into the half. However, on the right it says that the Celtics won 97-91.
Game 5 is on Father’s day (June 15th) where the Celtics will try to bring home their 17th Championship banner.
A Boy Scout camp in Little Sioux, Iowa was destroyed after a tornado hit the camp.
Iowa Public Safety Commissioner Gene Meyer said the four were killed by a storm that slammed into the Little Sioux Scout Ranch near the Nebraska state line.
Meyer said about 120 people, including 93 campers, were believed to be at the camp at the time of the storm.
About 40 people were injured, said Sheri Bauwens, a nurse with the American Red Cross.
Lloyd Roitstein, president of the Boy Scouts of Mid-America Council, said the Scouts at the ranch were advanced Scouts between 13 and 18 years old and were there for a week of training.
He said they were staying in tents and that the site is destroyed.
“All of the buildings are gone; most of the tents are gone; most of the trees are destroyed,” Roitstein said. “You’ve got 1,800 acres of property that are destroyed right now.”
Being an Eagle Scout myself, this was very upsetting to me. They were behind a mountain and there was no where to really escape the twister. They didn’t have a plan or a shelter to go into. When I called my mother to tell her about the situation, she said, “They weren’t prepared”, which is funny considering the Scout Motto is “Be Prepared”. It wasn’t meant to be a joke, but it did lighten the situation a bit.
