Yahoo! Term Extractor
The Yahoo! term extractor is a tool that extracts meaningful words from text. For example, in my post about sitting next to Mickey Hatcher's wife it thought the following phrases were significant if I am asking it about baseball: bizarre coincidence, mickey hatcher, wife patty, angels, coach, sat, nice, lost, california, apparently.

A's Game
I'm in California this weekend for a conference, and I decided to go to the A's game. I went by myself and just bought a ticket on the field level. I enjoyed the game even though the A's lost, but the most notable thing is that I sat next to Mickey Hatcher's wife Patty. He is apparently the hitting coach for the Angels now. She is nice, we talked for much of the game. A truly bizarre coincidence.
