If Only God Had Had Corporate Sponsorship…

October 14, 2006

The authors of Freakonomics recently had a funny post about how God missed the opportunity for cashing in naming animals after corporations. Then discuss the recent deal between 7-11 and the Chicago White Sox for all games to start at 7:11 PM for the next season. Read it here.

A little more bacon.

October 14, 2006

Bacon Bacon Bacon Bacon. Here’s some Bacon Caramel. So Tasty… Bacon caramel like a chewy SKOR Bar with bacon. How much more of a comforting flavour combination could there ever be?

Getting paid to blog, without advertising

October 13, 2006

So, there have been a few of these for-sale review sites launching lately, and I’m slightly curious as to the whole thing. The newest to be announced is ReviewMe by the folks that brought you Text Link Ads. The basic premise as discussed on the site: What does ReviewMe do? Advertisers, you pay to get [...]

Bacon equals Freedom

October 13, 2006

In the words of my good friend Matt “Bacon equals Freedom.” So, I stumbled upon this wonderful idea. A Bacon Martini… As far as I know, the originator posted about it here on flickr. Perfect Bacon Martini Lightly mist martini glass with vermouth, and rim the edge with bacon grease. In a cocktail shaker, mix [...]

Bad Words are funny when they’re unexpected

October 13, 2006

Ok, I know it’s a little crude, but I just couldn’t help myself from laughing about this. So, I snapped a picture and I share it with you here. It’s a photo of a dent, complete with a little message in the dent. I have totally thought/said/been there during my own denting experiences.

Some helpful Mac applications

October 10, 2006

I have two links for you today. 1. 10 Finder replacements. This is a review, complete with screenshots, of 10 popular replacements for Mac’s Finder (which I don’t like at all). I’ve used Pathfinder and I really like it, but it is somewhat of a resource hog, and I’m anxious to try Xfolder and see [...]

Macs and Google == Lots of Love

October 9, 2006

Google is now officially loving Macs. http://googlemac.blogspot.com/ It links to a page full of Mac specific apps from Google. I am anxious to see what else comes from this land as I’m a huge Google lover and a newly-found Mac Addict.

Everybody who’s anybody uses Sans Serif

October 9, 2006

On a whim. I checked the top 50 websites according to Alexa.com. And 46 out of 50 use sans serif fonts on their website. The four that don’t: nytimes.com imdb.com washingtonpost.com digitalpoint.com Notice two of those are online newspapers… which of course would use a serif font. The other two? I have no idea why. [...]

More YouTube

October 9, 2006

Now, I’m sorry, and I promise that this whole blog won’t be a giant YouTube channel, but this is still funny and original enough to post. Cheers,

This is exactly why I love the new Web.

October 6, 2006

I first saw the Guinness ‘Surfer’ ad about three or four years ago. I loved it and thought it was beautiful. However, a few months later, maybe even again in a year, I was never able to find it-even with my geek-fu Google skills all sharp and stuff. If I spent a good 30 minutes, [...]
