March 2008
For my birthday, the wife and I went out and bought a PSP. Keep in mind that while I have gamer in my blood (and do what I can on my aging PC), that I haven’t owned a commercial console or handheld since I sold my Playstation back in ‘02 or ‘03. Well, my Nintendo from my youth still works, but that doesn’t count.
I’ve got to say that even though I’ve only got...

ideas:
my two favorites “Some Random Thing Pitchfork Gave An 8.4 To - Whatever” & “Some Bearded Hipster Guy - Totally Amazing Soulful Acoustic Guitar Folk Song That Doesn’t Sound Exactly Like The Other 9 Billion Totally Amazing Soulful Acoustic Guitar Folk Songs Out There”
Strangely missing: a shot at Radiohead (or Coheed and Cambria).
Just today, my wife asked me what exactly I did at work all day. I explained that I’m usually coordinating our different sports broadcasts, making sure we promote each broadcast right, prepare whatever features for our local casts (interviews, etc)… not to mention, my daily sportscasts.
On a day like today, I can literally sit on my ass and watch opening day baseball, and call that...
I didn’t even realize that this tumblelog was a year old until today. I actually started it on March 18th, 2007.
Truly, if this can keep me going this long, it’s a superior blogging platform.

I don’t know if this is someone’s idea of a bad April Fool’s Day joke, because honestly, I haven’t seen web design this bad since 1995. Taste those tasty tables!

Happy Birfday To Me.
27 is a strange number.

livejamie:
Is there anything this man can’t do?
I pity the fool who thinks Mr. T can’t handle a coma.
Last night, we set the over-under on what time I would be waking up this morning at 7:30am. I’ve had this annoying habit lately of waking up way too early on days off.
It was 6:46am.

I… ah… hmm.
Can’t wait to see this one on Springer.
KSK Mock Drafts: Books →
One of the more brilliant things the guys at KSK have done are these mock drafts on things that aren’t sports. First round takes in the book draft include My Dark Places and The Long Walk, reminding me that I’ve got to read more.
Using the Minimum Wage to Beat the Competition -... →
The German Post, which is a high-wage employer, faces increasing competition from lower-cost carriers. If the minimum wage is imposed, it will not raise Deutsche Post’s average variable cost by much, since most of its workers already make more than the proposed minimum wage; but it will raise its competitors’ costs.
How deliciously evil.

Talk about strange… the day I go out and by the book Friday Night Lights, the story is finally confirmed that the TV series is coming back.
Jeez, what was I waiting for?

It’s a paradox of the human experience that, while we possess the unique gift of introspection, we are at our very best when we can phase out that self-awareness entirely and allow the present to overcome us. It’s the very definition of passion.
This is a fan-fucking-tastic article.

I just realized two things today…
I’ve got to renew my plates by Sunday.
I’ve got to renew culbreath.us TONIGHT. AAAAGH.

For whatever reason, I couldn’t get to Tumblr all night last night (or this morning, for that matter). Oddly enough, I couldn’t get to any tumblrs that didn’t have their own domain, but those that did (mine included) worked fine.
I really felt disconnected for a while, which was frightening.
Muxtape is a smash hit.
jstn:
4000 songs, 2000 users, 7 hours…
And about a month until it’s shut down. But hey, I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.
By the vy, some songs are now up at shaggy.muxtape.com
I have the key. I have the desk.
I have an office again.
“When Stu Scott is making fun of you for having a predictable shtick, you might...”

I couldn’t be more exhausted today. Last night we took the daughter to a water park for a mini-vacation (seeing as our summer vacation plans were blown out of the water). The water park was fun, but I slept like shit last night. Something about the beds wasn’t right.

I just helped my mom upload a photo to her MySpace.
This is a strange world we’re living in.
Update: Sony has backed off it’s $50 “Won’t Install Shit” service.
2 pairs of Chucks, for only 60 bucks?
Wow, what a deal!
I’ve been watching the Tournament all week, and one little thing keeps bothering me.
There’s a commercial for Porsche that’s running where a guy revs the engine of his 911, and a bunch of other Porsche’s rev their engines in response. It’s alright, but nothing spectacular.
On the TV in the studio, the closed captioning comes on automatically whenever you mute it,...

It’s actually supposed to snow tonight? After this beautiful day?
I really, really need to get out of this town.
