Flinstones Commercial I like this commercial, but I never remember that it's for Geico... which makes it a bad commercial. Labels: advertising, video, youtube

Joe Millionaire On Monday, the Twins and Joe Nathan signed a 4 year, $47 million dollar contract - which makes him the second highest paid closer in baseball. Since that translates to roughly $275,000 every time he trots onto the field, I started to wonder if that was it worth it? I played with some data, and decided that the answer is yes. #36 has converted 92% (160 of 174) of save opportunities over the past four years, which is best in baseball according to my analysis (see both tabs in spreadsheet). See you on Opening Day! Labels: baseball, spreadsheet, twins

Happy Easter Bunny Many years ago, I decided to call 1-800-EASTER-BUNNY to see who answered. If I remember correctly (which isn't usually the case), the number was for Prudential Financial Group. As of tonight, I just get a busy signal :( Anyways, I just wanted to tell Nick that we're going to miss him tomorrow...  Labels: photo

Not Exactly Madness Before this year's NCAA tournament, Joe Lunardi (the inventor of Bracketology) went so far as to predict the score of every game. He went 13-3 tonight (as did I), and was surprisingly accurate with more than a few of his picks:

Your Phone (in a few years) I really want an iPhone, but having a Nokia Morph someday might be pretty cool. Check out the video (46 MB, complete with Zero 7-esque soundtrack) for the full effect. via Iconoculture Labels: apple, design, iconoculture

Peter Gunn I have fond memories of playing Spy Hunter on our Nintendo - kudos to Digitas for a sweet commercial, despite apparent lame viral marketing efforts...

Get Your TV Fix Online I've mentioned MySpace TV before, and today's VSL tipped me off to Fancast (better interface, less episodes). Just watched my first ever episode of Arrested Development - pretty good! But we're about to start the third season of Entourage, so (George) Michael Cera is gonna have to wait.

Rumpolo Just what I need - an aggregation of t-shirts for sale from across the web! Who knew that you could buy a t-shirt from anyone other than Threadless or Busted Tees? Guess what shirt I just ordered from Cottyn...

Fortune Interviews Jobs Steve Jobs says that Apple "do[es] no market research" - which doesn't surprise me one bit. I wonder what someone like me would do at a company like Apple? Thanks to MRJ for pointing me to Daring Fireball for pointing me to this interview.

Now I'm A Rock Star My WorldPerks card has been upgraded to Visa Signature, which apparently means that I have no pre-set spending limit. We've been watching quite a bit of Entourage lately, so I'm thinking about running out to get myself a Maserati - maybe when the snow stops falling? I also got access to Zagat Survey restaurant ratings, which reminded me that I've eaten at some of the lowest-rated food in Minneapolis (Dakota, B.A.N.K., Cue). Fortunately, we're going to 112 Eatery (the highest-rated) next weekend!
