I Won't Cheat

Amy pointed out that Dale Murphy, one of my childhood heroes, has a foundation called I Won't Cheat, that helps kids develop some ethics in sports and life.

I thought their video was classic:

Heterochromia



Some people call us mutants, or X-men, but apparently I have a condition called heterochromia. I always knew I had the condition, but I never considered the fact that it might have a name, until a nurse friend of mine filled me in recently. Heterochromia is where you have different colored eyes, or a different color in part of one eye. In my case it's called partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia, because my eyes are blue but a part of one of my eyes is brown.

iTunes in the car

I need a stereo with built in iTunes. I've gotta have it.

I'm sick of having to use an FM transmitter to use my iPod in the car. I don't want a cassette adapter. What I want is to be able to sync all the music from my iPod onto my car stereo, and then leave the iPod AT HOME!

Here's an article from more than 2 years ago promoting the same thing. Is it out there yet? Surely someone has come up with this product! I will pay hundreds of dollars for it, as, I'm sure, will millions of other people. Apple, where are you??

Food Court Musical

My favorite improv troupe was at it again, this time staging a musical in a food court at a Los Angeles mall, seemingly out of nowhere. The video is great, I thought the expressions of the onlookers were amazingly hilarious. The guy at the very end of the musical who says "Here's a napkin" is "Agent" Todd, the creator of Improv Everywhere.

Still Number One Team (SNOT)

SNOT Spring 2008

I play ultimate in a local rec league. My team for the spring league was the undisputed, undefeated heavyweight league champion of the world! Maybe it was a shortened season with only 6 games, but we still won! Our team name was SNOT... and we were hot!
