Daily Absurdities

National Oatmeal Day

Admin — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:07:08 +0000

This day should be every day. It makes sense, though, that as the most obese nation on the planet* we would have a day devoted to such a delicious healthy food. Of course, when most people are eating oatmeal, they are dousing it with syrup and skittles. I found this and it’s funny: *we are [...]

Ubuntu 9 is Out

Who cares? I sort of do. I have been considering a new operating system and since I work in the “BIZ” I thought I might go with Linux. However, Google is coming out with the chrome OS, so I think I might just go with that. What is a Karmic Koala?

Nike/Wieden and Kennedy never cease to amaze me. THIS is how it’s done:

The Cloud

Hey MobileMe, here’s a thought: let people upload multiple photos to THE CLOUD. Do you know how tedious it is to go through multiple images and send them out to share with the rest of the world. Prohibitively tedious. This is a no brainer. That being said, I will be continuing my MobileMe membership in hopes [...]

Barely…

Autzen Stadium in all its glory: So the Ducks pulled one out against Purdue this weekend, but it was a last second nail-biter. Naturally I had to celebrate after the game with a tree climb at Rennie’s.

A nice photo of us boys after the playoffs in 8th grade basketball. Don’t let the trophy fool you, we lost every game, except for in the playoffs, when we played like a team possessed.

Proud Day for Oregon Football

Well, if we hadn’t shown the world we were whining, underachieving crybabies yet, then this certainly did it: After a shattering loss to kick of the season, Oregon showed the rest of the country just how much class we really have. Not my proudest day to be a duck, but at least it wasn’t this: And [...]

I was talking to Moo yesterday and he told me about this advert that 3M released a few years ago where they placed $1mm in a apparently impossible-to-break-into case. Passers by could attempt to break into it and take the cassh. Great promo that generated a lot of buzz for a company whose products aren’t [...]

Finally Signed Up

Admin — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 15:21:40 +0000

Finally signed up for this, despite the shooting pain through my left leg right now. All intents and purposes I could run it right now, but likely not at my target time. The physical therapist told me I’m doing something wonky in my gait when I run, and maybe when I walk. This race is a [...]
