Quick disclaimer: I think Alex Rodriguez is overrated, over paid, doesn’t show up in the clutch, and is a whiner. Ok with that out of the way, many people consider A-Rod (silly nickname) the best baseball player in the league, a sure-fire hall-of-famer, and destined to rewrite the record books. Back in 2003, the New [...]

2008 Minnesota State Fair
Wow, what a difference a year makes. Last year we took Cora to the Minnesota State Fair. She was only 4 months at the time, but we strapped her into a BabyBjorn and pounded away at the pavement. We event made time to give Cora a little taste of a corn-dog.
We’ll this year, Cora was [...]
3 Types of Bosses

Others, were as useless as a bicycle to a person in a wheelchair. Having talked with many colleagues about their [...]

World Air Guitar Championship
Yes, you read that correctly. Seriously, knowing that a championship exists for air guitar makes me feel so much better about my 4th grade field day participation ribbon. It also makes rhythmic gymnastics look like a legit olympic sport.
What Does Biden Think About Obama?
I love digital age. I love that the web makes it easy to find things like this.
Too damn funny.
Budweiser – The Great American Lager?
Came across this ad today on SI.com. Is this a preemptive strike to try and convince people Budweiser is an American beer, even though the brand will be owned by InBev? If it is, I have to say, banner ads aren’t going to cut it.
Microsoft Surface
I’ve been a big fan of Microsoft’s Surface technology platform for a while now. Unfortunately, there have been very few real world examples to point to. I came across this demonstration earlier today.
BMW will be using it in their dealerships as a way to feature cars for customers. This is a great example of [...]
