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 […]

Albert Pujols is already universally known as a MLB badass and super star. However this past Wednesday the slugger added another impressive distinction as being the only MLB player I know to take out 2 players in one inning. Sure baseball players get injured all the time, but usually its wear and tear and not […]

Its been a hectic week at the new job as well as settling into my new abode for the summer in Alameda. I actually don’t really move in until Monday. With that in mind here are some blog topics that kind of slipped by the wayside the last week. – CBS purchased technology focused internet […]

Today I am not going to pick a commercial of the week. Despite extra time watching the tube during my week of vacation, nothing stuck out what so ever in the world of commercials. So rather than crowning a false winner, I am going to vent my anguish at the continuously annoying nostalgic basketball commercials. […]

I don’t really read books. I don’t really know that many people who do. Often I will read about books online, to learn more about them, but alas nothing warranted a purchase and more importantly the commitment. But crack of dawn tomorrow (11:30 am, its my only week off in years) I am heading over […]

Awhile back I posted a video of one of my favorite broadcasters, Chris Berman having a tirade in a pre taping of Monday Night Football.Today I came across an even more ridiculous and random tirade from Bill O’Reilly. The clip is from the nineties from his time at Inside Edition. He loses it as he […]

Typically, this is the time I start most of my blogs (10-11pm), but tonight is a little different. Tomorrow I don’t have work, hence I am not fretting being tired after writing this blog and taking care of some other pressing items. Why do not I have work? Because next week I start my new […]

One of the more annoying aspects of this once great social networking site, is the issue of spam comments from friends whose accounts have been hacked into. Usually promoting free ringtones and other stupid dribble, these spam comments account for roughly 20% of all the comments people get on their myspace page. Today it seems […]
