8. Cars and their respective computers: Take a look at some of the more interesting Car-PC projects that we’ve run into, and speak their owners personally. Ask them what they like and what they don’t like, and learn from their mistakes in order to make your next project a breeze.
7. Orioles/Red Sox: September baseball is the best—it combines gorgeous weather, the most beautiful ballpark in America, and the sheer desperation that has come to mark the Orioles organization in recent years.

3. Culture: Ah yes, while you’re in town, you may as well sign up for a sophisticated and cultural activity. Take advantage of the dozen or so celebrated museums in Baltimore, ranging from priceless art at the Walters to George Washington’s teeth at the Dentistry.
