Must admit, I really do like all of the Charlie Sheen drama. Perhaps, because it’s so inconsequential.
After the recent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, and growing unrest in Bahrain and Libya, we’ve become accustomed to harrowing headlines from reporters amidst angry demonstrators. My personal prediction, based on what I’ve seen online last week, is that we’ll have regime change in Libya, Bahrain, and Wisconsin before the end of next month.
So, then this morning I saw, “FOX Crew Attacked in Notomas.” I assumed this was some border town in eastern Libya, and I quickly clicked the link to see the drama first hand. I was, of course, surprised to see Notomas was in California.

This has been bugging me for the longest time. I mistyped a URL into my Chrome browser and then it became the first suggestion everytime I typed “www”. That honor used to be held by google.com, which was really handy as that’s one of the sites I visit most often.
So, after a month or so suffering with this, I finally took the time to search out the solution. When the list of suggested sites pops up, just highlight the one you don’t want and hit SHIFT+DEL
Like magic it’s gone!
I’m a little late to the party with this bit of news.

Although I had predicted the closing of this store the day I found that Allyson was no longer a part of it, I didn’t realize it was closed until someone stopped by to purchase my annual Aero-Press and found that I’m going to have to find a new supplier (yes, I’m trying to remain calm). When Allyson ran the shop here, it was a cult of personality. I stopped in often for wine tastings, cooking classes, and overpriced supplies (which I was happy to pay for). After she left, it was just a store. And a store I didn’t find myself needing to frequent. At least a year ago I expressed my concern to one of the employees and offered to help the new owners bring the life back into the store, but no one called.
This was a fantastic story to wake up to this morning. This homeless guy was discovered on the streets of Columbus. Someone video-taped him, posted to Youtube, and now the guy has offers for work coming in from all over the nation.
Absolutely fantastic. He was interviewed by Matt Lauer on the Today Show this morning.
Are there risks to using YouTube on your company website when you’re not familiar with the settings? Yes.
As seen below when I got on someone’s company website to watch an introductory video on a new contract software package. After the intro video, hosted on YouTube, the system went on to “related videos”.
I’m sure this isn’t what they meant to show their customers. Ha!
Had lots of fun with everyone ice skating (well, I wasn’t ACTUALLY on skates) at Inn of the 7th Mountain.
[Gallery not found]I don’t care if you’re a Beaver or a Duck, these guy’s are
pretty incredible. On the Rocks is a cappella group from University
of Oregon. Started in 1999, they’re now one of the best collegiate
groups in the nation. And thanks to the show The Sing
Off, or I might have totally missed these guys. By
the way…the show is on tonight.
I mentally stumble through my morning until I find something that really kicks off the day. Today this is it.
Guaranteed to start your day off right.
Sure he’s just a Hasidic Jew from New York singing a reggae-rap about Hanukkah…. but when you really think about it….he’s a Hasidic Jew from New York singing a reggae-rap about Hanukkah. Perfect.
