For once, I picked the right day to go out of town…

I mean, if you gotta travel for business to Las Vegas where it’s sunny and 100 degrees, what better day to go then when it’s 59 and raining in New York City?
(CBS) NEW YORK Don’t forget to bundle up if you’re headed out in New York City today. After all, it is August 21.
The city […]



Michael Vick is going to jail!

Michael Vick took a plea deal, pleaded guilty, and is going to JAIL.
This thrills me to no end. The Virginia Pilot is reporting that Vick accepted a plea deal, giving him 18-36 months in PRISON.
Not enough if you ask me, but better than nothing.



“So much time, so little to do.”

"Wait. Strike that. Reverse it." -Willy Wonka.
This update brought to you by the fine folks at the TSA, who actually didn’t give me any grief going through EWR security 20 minutes ago. "The TSA. Surprising you every once in a long while."
So after Saturday’s kick-ass race, Saturday night found me on the receiving end of […]



By one damn second!

Missed a Personal Record today in Central Park by ONE SECOND! Ran really strong for the NYRR Team Championships today - Ran a solid 38:46, or a 7:45 mile - My splits, if you care, were really decent… 7:50, 7:30, 7:42, 7:46, and 7:11, averaging out to 7:45. I’ll take it. One thing I am […]



Lessons at 28.2 miles per hour…

So earlier this week on Facebook, I came across the LaGuardia High School Bike Club. "How cool," I thought. "I have a bike, and I’m a LaGuardia alum! I’ll just email them, and perhaps I can join them for a ride." Stupid Facebook.
Well, as it turns out, the club is only open to current LaG […]



So you think you can…

Dance Product Place?
Amazing product placement tonight for Jib-Jab on "So You Think You Can Dance." They showed off this "starring you" campaign that JJ is doing, where you send it a photo of yourself and it makes you into a whatever.
Who owns JibJab? I think they’re indy, right? If so, I’d love to see the […]



Caveman’s Crib… So easy… A plethora of people working together could do it!

So I was so fascinated by Caveman’s Crib, I did some homework, and got in touch with one Joe Talbott. It would seem Joe was part of the brilliant creative team that produced cavemanscrib.com.
Joe was quick to tell me it wasn’t just him. In fact, he praised the other people on his team so much, […]

Smart Cars have hit NYC…

Lookie what I found this morning outside CBS News - A reporter was covering it, seemingly curious about what happens if you get rammed by Mayor Bloomberg’s Suburban.
But - Quicker, smaller, faster, and able to get through even the tightest spaces left by the moron who double-parked his Fresh Direct truck next to an empty […]



Thoughts on the Caveman’s Crib?

May I please just remind everyone that this started out as A COMMERCIAL FOR A FREAKING INSURANCE COMPANY??

How many product placements can you find? I caught at least four.
It’s a brilliantly designed website, though. I’d love to know who did it.
