Random thoughts from a random technology guy

  • Letterman

    I won’t be able to stay up to see the farewell show tonight, but as a long time fan, I liked this:

  • Asking for a Friend

    Bill Clinton’s amusing response to Barack Obama joining twitter as @POTUS

  • Rays in Flight

    Just watch it…

  • Bad UI

    Overall I think the new ESPN site looks good. But I checked my laptop to see the Hawks/Wizards score. I saw 94/91, ooh its close and it’s almost over.

    Who’s winning?

    Oh, ESPN is beating Watch ESPN. Wait, what?

  • Round Numbers

    That Conan guy is funny…

  • Game 7 Gold

    I’m not even a hockey fan, but the Rangers/Capitals series was hugely close. Every game a one goal game.

    So of course game 7 goes into overtime. The emotions at the end of the video capture it all. Stepan scoring the goal, Lundqvist’s reaction, the bench going wild and Ovechkin’s sadness.

    Sports is about stories.

    And this is the best tradition in sports, shaking hands at the end:

  • Jets Fans Taking the High Road

    Or not…

  • More Ball Covers

    Well the Daily News and NY Post didn’t disappoint today:

    And the NY Post:

  • Four Games

    I’ve heard many commentators say that they expected an initial punishment of four games to be appealed down to two, but I was still surprised to hear the punishment was four games for Brady.

    He is a lying cheater, but that’s hardly an exclusive club.

    But what I’m really interested in is what the tabloid headlines tomorrow will be:

    Brady’s Balls Deflated

    Brady’s Balls Sit for Four Games

    Brady’s Balls Reduced by 25% (based on a 16 game season)

    I trust the NY Post and Daily News can do better…

  • NFL Sentences Brady to a Year with the Jets

    Hilarious, from the New Yorker.

    One Jets fan observed, “Look, Brady’s a dick, but even he didn’t deserve this.”
