Playing Catch-up

I've been quite dormant on the blogger, so now is time to get things started back up. Let's begin with some linkage...

- I visited Seattle in September, but didn't get to ride the SLUT train.

- Marilyn Manson decapitates robotic girlfriend on stage. Wonderful.

- If you don't know Gus Johnson, you should watch this to see what he's capable of. He's an excellent announcer who has his own website with some very interesting items. How about... Gustones for your phone?!... yeah, that's ridiculous.

- No World for Tomorrow? Well maybe... but no Coheed massacre yet.

- This is a very old story regarding the Falcons... but that's of no consequence. The real story is DeAngelo Hall's impeccable use of the word "asinine."

"If that's the case ... they can probably cut me too," Hall said. "They need to cut all 53 of us. Nobody is playing the way they should be playing right now, obviously. I mean, we're 1-6. To sit there and single out Grady is just asinine. It's ridiculous." – DeAngelo Hall

- I had the chance to catch and episode of Assume the Position. This HBO show covers significant historical events in a fresh, fun manner. I'm a new found fan of good presentation and enthusiasm and this show delivers both. Give it a watch.

- This link has been on my shelf since June! But since it's hockey season again... I suppose it's relevant. My favorite Patriot's fan, Bill Simmons, decided to do an impromptu running diary of the NHL draft. He knows nothing of hockey... and that's what makes it great. There are many comments on adolescent mustaches, Canadian-isms, and a freakishly, accurate prediction of corruption in the NHL.

- Speaking of Bill Simmons... don't hate him too much for the Pat's thing. He repeatedly has stuck up for the 'Burgh and I think genuinely respects and enjoys our fine city. Just look at what he had to say in a chat about the ladies of the 'Burgh.

Mike (Dayton): I was slamming beers in Pittsburgh this weekend to make the girls hotter. Did I make the right decision? SportsNation Bill Simmons: Come on, you can't diss the 'Burgh like that! Pittsburgh girls are underrated.

- Another blogger/author that I read regularly is Seth Godin. His blog is extremely well-written, concise, and thought provoking. He writes about marketing, but his observations and thoughts are usually universal. Anyway... I greatly enjoy his blog (which is currently ranked #15) and you check it out. What makes me like him even more, is that he practices what he preaches. I recently emailed him a question regarding a post he responded within only a few hours. It speaks very well for him, considering how much effort he puts into his work. Something I think we can all improve on.

- I went to Epcot for their food and wine festival in October. While I was there, I was introduced to the concept of "drinking around the World" while at Epcot. If anyone comes down to Florida and wants to give this a shot, I am definitely willing to participate. Also, while I was there... I found my Halloween costume while I was hitting on a Norwegian employee (unsuccessfully).

- Finally, I want to end this post with a mysterious photo. What do you think this glove does?
