I joined a team bowling league (3 girls and 3 guys per team) on Monday nights. We have had 5 games so far and tonight we just clinched a berth in the playoffs. The playoffs are next week and are sudden death. Reminds me of the Kingpin "Showdown" scene. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t2GgN_RC7M] I have always…
One of my good friends from school entered a photo from his African travels last summer into a competition on CandeNast. The picture is a close-up picture of a lion’s paw. The winner of the competition is the highest rated picture and the winner gets a $20,000 dream trip vacation to anywhere in the world. …
For those of you that are going to be working during the NCAA March madness tournament and want to keep track of their team, I would highly recommend this service. Last year we had one of the games on TV and then one of them playing on the computer. It was pretty cool…and it…
One of my former managers from when I worked at Excite@Home, once told me that the internship at Microsoft (no matter where you decide to go fulltime) is absolutely amazing from a professional, social, and personal perspective. I trust his opinion and advice enormously and as a result, I decided to forgo a few other interesting…
I was just sent this link to a Washington Post story about the Georgetown Basketball team’s latest run and the opinions of the former coaching legend (John Thompson) versus the current coach and son (John Thompson III). I cannot wait for March Madness to start. I hope that the Hoyas can keep the momentum going. They…
When I was in Jackson Hole, we were bored on the ski slope and were trying to remember as many of the theme songs from 80s sitcoms as we could. We got most of the popular ones, and one of the things that became clear was that each person had their own favorite sitcom/theme song….
Just saw a new report that the weather hit a high of 5 degrees yesterday and low of -20 degrees with windchill… That is no fun.
I went with my friend Dan to see the Roots concert at the Showbox Theater in Seattle on Saturday night. The show was phenomenal. As I have said a few times before, the Showbox is a top 5 venue nationwide for seeing live concerts. That combined with the fact that the Roots are all…
After looking for the K-Fed Nationwide commercial on Youtube, I found it but when I tried to play it, there was a serious delay. It appears that Google’s servers cant handle all the traffic. I expect some PR to come out tomorrow talking about the "record setting" traffic to Youtube servers as a result of…
I had another run-in with a passive aggressive driver in Seattle last night. I had just walked out of an amazing Roots concert at the Showbox (a post on that coming later) and was crossing the street by the walk signal. A car that was turning left (despite the fact that people were in the crosswalk) had started…
