Run, Forrest! I've never seen so many people running through an airport as I do tonight in Concourse B at CLT... the free Wi-Fi makes it easy for me to tell you about it :) Labels: travel

The Next YouTube? Business 2.0 posted their 2nd annual Next Net 25 yesterday, which they describe as "the Web 2.0 wannabes most likely to break out of the pack." Interesting stuff, but I decided the information would be easier to compare if in spreadsheet format. Since I hadn't heard of this list last year, I looked back and then decided to measure Business 2.0's predictive prowess based on the change in Alexa rank of each site they included in the 2006 list...  Definitely some clear winners (YouTube) & losers, as well as an inexplicable jump for many of the sites in mid-April? Last year's list was released on March 3rd, but the Internets isn't famous for moving slowly. Each link below will take you to Alexa chart (like the Social Media one above) that compares the 5 sites highlighted in each of the 5 groups Business 2.0 defined... Social Media: Digg, Last.fm, Newsvine, Tagworld, YouTube Mashup & Filters: Bloglines, Eurekster, Simply Hired, Technorati, Trulia, Wink The New Phone: Fonality, SIPphone, Iotum, Vivox, Skype The Webtop: JotSpot, 30Boxes, 37Signals, Writely, Zimbra Under The Hood: Brightcove, Jigsaw, Simplefeed, Salesforce, Six Apart

Land Dispute for Twins Ballpark I'm a few days late breaking this news, but I just learned that Hennepin County doesn't yet own the land where the Twins stadium is supposed to be built. A group of 100+ private investors does, and the two sides can't agree on a purchase price. Could put a kink on plans to unveil detailed designs of the new ballpark next week and break ground next month... Labels: government, sports, twins

Buzz Kill If you enjoy the inappropriate antics of 'The Office', but they conflict with your day job as an HR manager - this blog is for you.  The "litigation value" placed on the "Ben Franklin" episode exceeded $800,000...

And The Grammy Goes To... Everybody knows that most Grammy awards aren't handed out during the 3 hour telecast, but did you know that there's a category called Best Recording Package? The album art for all nominees is below (click each to a larger version)      Would you have picked Tool?

British Musical Wunderkinder? Another gem from VSL... "Jamie T, a sharp-witted, highly inventive singer-songwriter who raps over his own raucous acoustic-guitar playing." You can't buy his music (yet), but the streaming audio player on his website is quite a throwback - I like 'Sheila'  I wonder when they'll get My VSL up and running? Labels: music, screenshot, vsl

History of Super Bowl Ads I think my dream job might be making Interactive Graphics for the New York Times... This one offers a look back at Super Bowl ads since 1984, but only has a few clips. My favorites? Ameriquest's 2005 "Cat-ricide" and FedEx's 1998 "Emergency Broadcast" Labels: advertising, nytimes

The Unwanted Flavors Does anyone actually like vanilla flavored Tootsie Rolls? I do. They always seem to be the last ones in the office candy dish, like the yellow Starburst and banana Runts people seem to pass over...  PS: While Google Image Searching for the picture above, I came across a photo of Kitty Litter Cake on Flickr...

Dick Diamond? Michael pointed me to the Wikipedia article about LifeGem - creepy! Apparently they only need 227 grams of "remains" to make a diamond, I wonder if I have any 1/2 pound body parts that science doesn't want me to donate to them? Labels: science, weird, wikipedia
