Apparently Rick Reilly offered at least Obama and McCain a chance to be his fantasy partner for a week (he said ‘each candidate’ but I’m not sure if he was counting any third parties or not. C’mon Reilly, clarity in writing!*)
Only Obama agreed, and they played, and then Reilly wrote a column about it. As [...]

Radio
I don’t often listen to the radio. When in the house streaming internet radio or mp3 player is easier and has no commercial interuptions, I don’t have a car radio because I don’t have a car, and I can’t have music at either workplace. Since those are almost the only places in space that my physical [...]

Yet Another Unabashed iTunes Plug . . . I Mean Pick.
I just can’t help myself! iTunes really has genius marketing. of course it doesn’t hurt to have enough money to buy exlusive rights to distribute Coldplay’s first single.

*very blonde-sounding woman* So, I was driving along and this [...]

Fill in the Blank
OK, finish this story.
Aaron woke up to the the incessant, annoying beeping of his alarm. He searched blindly through the covers until he found his cell phone, turned it off, and stretched. He rolled his legs over the edge of the bed and yawned as he ran his hand through his hair. Time for his [...]

Scary Commercials
I saw a commerical recently, about a copier. No, not the hilarious one where the guy ends up breaking it at the end, although that could be scary.
The commercial starts with these two guys standing beside a copier in a shwanky (yes, that is the correct spelling for my purposes) looking office. One guy is [...]
