On the way home last night, I was in a taxi that had NPR on the radio. Not surprisingly, there was a report talking about the Minneapolis bridge collapse and the five deaths in it. The taxi driver started yelling at the radio saying that the correspondents were liars and when i asked him why,…
Are you kidding me? This is absolutely hilarious. Kanye West wrote this song called Can’t Tell Me Nothing and then supposedly gave the music to this guy to create an unofficial music video for it. It is hilarious and not at all what you would expect from a Kanye West video….it is more like something…
I just came across this article which says that the University of Chicago business school is going to start requiring its students to submit 4 powerpoint slides along with their business school application. Very interesting…. Here is a quote from a current second year at Chicago who works on the admissions committee and who helped…
A good friend of mine from Kellogg and fellow Philadelphian sent me a link to the Eagles blog, and I have to say that it got me pumped up for football season. The Eagles have serious potential this season with a revamped defense and some budding stars returning alongside Westbrook and a hopefully healthy McNabb….
While I think that it is insane that AT&T had expectations from analysts that it would sell over 500,000 iPhones over the two days that it was available at the end of its last quarter, it is still interesting to note that the number of iPhones actually provisioned was much lower — 146,000.

So my father went out the other day and bought an iPhone and he loves it. He even switched from Verizon to AT&T to do it. It isnt surprising since the iPhone is definitely targeted at him. Great UI, synchs with Mac and iTunes (both of which he has), and it is pretty damn cool….
just a quick entry to express my excitement over the fact that I just confirmed my tee-time at Chambers Bay golf resort on Saturday. Chambers Bay is Washington’s newest golf course and from what the reviews say it is its most spectacular by far. Check out one of the quotes from an article on Sportsline’s…
When I first heard about the Transformers coming out, I was excited because I used to be a huge Transformers fan back in the day and owned tons of their toys. After thinking about it a little more, I realized that as a result of the movie, there will most likely be a huge uptick…
I am a fan of Entourage and in the show, Vincent Chase buys the rights to a film about Pablo Escobar’s life called Medellin. They had a few episodes about them making the movie and it looked pretty cool. However, I never thought that there was actually the possibility of it becoming a real movie….
