Ohio State will be hosting its Senior Camp this weekend and will host some of the country’s best soon to be senior football players. This usually serves as a recruiting boost and there are rumblings of almost a handful of potential commitments in the works. In particular look for some movement with the below players […]

Awhile back I wrote a blog ranking the 12 months of the year of how exciting they are to me as a sports fan. While June clocks in midway through the list, the second half of June followed by July and August are some of the most difficult times of the year to endure. I […]

I had a handful of commercials pegged for commercial of the week, but none seem to be on youtube. Following up on my ode to Apple yesterday I thought I would go with the new ad for the new 3g Iphone. Nothing special but its great that they position it as twice as fast and […]

Last week I gave the Oakland A’s some love about some solid determination and business practices surrounding my interest in procuring a luxury box for a birthday event . This week I decided its time to show Apple some love once again. But first I wanted to point out that tomorrow Firefox is releasing a […]

This past weekend a handful of interesting things stood out to me on the Entertainment front. Below are some highlights. – A couple of coworkers told me about the play- Point Break Live. At first it sounded too good to be a true. A play based on the riduculouly over the top and entertaining action […]

Life has been hectic of late and will not calm down until next week. However, I hope to jam in 3-4 solid posts before the weekend. This one will focus on sports with hopefully some commentary on tech, entertainment, and commercials soon to follow. – Rajon Rondo had a stellar weekend putting up 18 assists, […]

I am constantly bewildered by a lot of consumer business practices among some of the larger companies in our country (Cable, Airlines, Automakers). But it feels good in the rare scenario, when you truly feel that someone or some company went the extra mile to truly earn your business. Today I encountered one of those […]

I hope in the coming years that I can avoid a quarter life crisis by attending events like the one below. The back story for the videos below is that the London mayor banned consumption of alcohol on the public transit system. Via Facebook alcoholics, party goers, and rebels with a cause organized a drinking […]

Typically I find myself unmoved by most automobile commercials. However the below Subaru ad caught my attention. In an era, where car commercials are cliche and ineffective, this Subara commercial sticks out as cool and worth watching. It looks fun to do, but I wonder if I would have the cahones to try any of […]

Awhile back I gave South Park kudos to satirizing a large contingent of Youtube celebrities in a recent episode. Now it seems Weezer has joined the party in making overtures to the Youtube viewing community in their latest music video, Pork and Beans. Thus far the reaction to the video has been very positive with […]

If you are anything like me, you probably have a love hate relationship with ESPN. I love the live coverage, Baseball 2night, Sportscenter, College Gameday, and lots of other great programming but could do without Skip Bayless, Steven A Smith, and gimicky crap like Who’s Now and 50 States in 50 days. But rather analyzing […]

I keep my eye on a handful of Silicon Valley startups and have even been lucky enough to have interviewed or worked with some of these interesting companies. Last week I noticed a pretty interesting trend among three of these emerging companies. In the past couple of weeks all of the below developments took place. […]

Man o man I have been busy of late. Really wanted to give some love to a new San Francisco Giants commercial featuring Matt Cain, but alas I could not find it. Luckily this is a pretty decent silver medal winner. I think this maybe the first apparel commercial to take the crown and deservingly […]

I am a huge fan of the viral internet hit, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. But more so than the content on the site itself, I find myself awed by the abbreviated timeline from concept to published book which is coming out in a month. Christian Lander is the man behind the site and book, and is a person […]
