• As a big fan of both Jakke and Amir videos and Collegehumor.com, allow me to explain the connection. Jake works for College Humor as an writer. College Humor is owned by Connected Ventures. Busted Tees is also owned by Connected Ventures (as is Vimeo) and in fact they all share the same sweet NYC office. Because they are all one big happy family, they often times model for shirt designs, especially if it is their idea. And yes, I am insanely jealous of their whole situation. They all seem to be having way too much fun to be calling it work.

T-Mobile Loses Starbucks

If this is true, my new Starbucks card will soon* give me free Internet access** at any of their 7,000 locations. As an AT&T DSL customer, my dad (and Michael?) won't even need a card to get online for free at Starbucks.

*by the end of 2008
**up to two hours per day - but really, does anyone*** need to spend more than two hours a day at Starbucks?
***employees probably do, but they get unlimited free Internet access as a part of this deal, too.

Poach for Freedom

As a proud member of Team Burton, I am obligated to inform you of their "Sabotage Stupidity" contest.

Thanks to iconoculture, I learned that there are still four resorts in the US that don't allow snowboarders:

At least $25,000 is at stake for videos of snowboarders 'poaching' these ski-only resorts, and I only see three so far! If you choose to watch them, start with 'Poachers' (they hit all four) and end with 'MRG_POACH_White_Suits'

Charts 'n Charts

Back in September, I painstakingly compiled a chart of the average number of days elapsed between blog posts.

As I approach 500 tweets, it was much easier to let TweetStats do that number crunching for me. I've been fairly consistent over the last six months, with between 30 and 40 tweets each month - most often coming via text message and later in the week.

This made me wonder how my usage of Blogger & Flickr & Twitter compared over time, and resulted in another painstakingly compiled chart:

ATTN: Muck, Paul & Joe

Netflix + Toys = Baby Plays

I noticed the headline in NYT's Most E-Mailed list (something I suggest that everyone bookmark), too bad the website gave me an error after I finished reading the article:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'sumanbabyplay'@'208.109.181.218' (using password: YES) in /home/content/b/a/b/babyplays/html/cms/_config.php on line 38
I cannot connect to the database because: Access denied for user 'sumanbabyplay'@'208.109.181.218' (using password: YES)

UPDATE: Seems to be working now

Use The Force, Luke

Finally saw Blue Harvest last night - what a fun way to spend 45 minutes laughing at the Star Wars parody and remembering how the plot unfolded. I wish Family Guy would remake every movie I've ever seen...

Ski-U-Mah!

Although I was only in the U of M Marching Band for one year, I can appreciate how nice their new digs in TCF Bank Stadium will be. See what I mean by watching some of the videos.

How did you participate today?

I just caucused for the first time in my life, and uploaded a photo to the Polling Place Photo Project.

When I got home, I opened that $9 chocolate and told them what I thought about C Ghana 0.23B (too sour).

As I was flipping through the new Esquire (delivered to me for 25¢), I noticed an ad for the Tap Project, but there aren't any Minneapolis restaurants registered yet!

Urban Sprawl

There's an interesting exhibit about suburbia opening at the Walker in a couple weeks, and they invited people to submit five minute videos about their suburb on YouTube.

The one about West Saint Paul is worth two minutes of your time:

Best Super Bowl Ads?

What a game! These were my favorite ads:

• Tide To Go "Talking Stain"
• E-Trade "Baby Trader"
• Bud Light "Jackie Moon"
• Diet Pepsi Max "What Is Love"
• Vitamin Water "Shaq Jockey"

What do you think? Check out the topic I started at Grupthink...

Gone in 60 Seconds

I'm not sure what's cooler about this website - the fact that it starts on fire, or that it sells a ghettoblaster (a word I haven't heard used to refer to a boombox since the McWilliams' lived in Iowa). Thanks (again), VSL!
