  • Are you going to Morcheeba next week?

    Sorry we went to 21 without you - it was a last minute deal, but really you won in this situation.

  • I'm not planning to go see Morcheeba - do you think it would be a fun show? I'm not so sure.

Edible History

Thanks to VSL for pointing me to Coudal's Museum of Online Museums, where I discovered Dan Goodsell's Cereal Box Archive and created this:

Flinstones Commercial

I like this commercial, but I never remember that it's for Geico... which makes it a bad commercial.

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!

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...

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:
  • Marquette over Kentucky, 77-62 (actually 74-66)
  • Xavier over Georgia, 75-57 (actually 73-61)
  • Michigan State over Temple, 71-65 (actually 72-61)
  • Stanford over Cornell, 73-54 (actually 77-53)
  • Texas A&M over BYU, 71-63 (actually 67-62)
  • Wisconsin over Cal State-Fullerton, 67-55 (actually 71-56)
To be fair, he was way off on several others. But I'm encouraged, since he and I have the same champion, Final Four and seven of the Elite Eight...

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.

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...



Not sure if I get Pontiac's tagline, though - G8 is Car?

Proposition 317

I was signature 232,346 - Guinness needs to reach one million in the next three days in order to present Proposition 317 to Congress. Doesn't using the pen look fun?

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.

A Family Affair

I'm happy to say that my cousin Terese has started a blog, and my brother Michael has raised his from the dead. Which of them will still be posting in six months? Stay tuned...

  • Well, I hope its me still posting in 6 months. But, i've got a short attention span so . . . . who knows. Question, are you posting form your cell phone???

    By Blogger Terese, at 3/13/2008 11:03 PM 

  • The only posts that come from my cell phone are tagged cameraphone although not all 35 are correctly displaying the tag for some reason...

FakeBook Air

Every time I get one of these inter-company envelopes, my immediate reaction is that someone sent me a MacBook Air, and I'm always disappointed with the actual contents...

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...

The Big Word? Brad.

For my 1100th post, I decided to buy the word 'brad' from another site DF pointed me to.

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.

  • And that's why I'm not a Packer fan. Maybe Fergie, Longwell, and Sharper can convince him to come here. Losing the Superbowl is a much higher expectation than anything we currently have.

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!
