Abe Lemons Quotes

Abe Lemons was a basketball coach at the University of Texas back in the 70s. He was a character. Here are some of his gems. “Doctors bury their mistakes, mine are still on scholarship.” “I don’t jog. If I die I want to be sick.” “Finish last in your league and they call you an idiot. Finish last in medical school and they call you a doctor.” “One...

Addiction

I’m pretty sure the fact that I’m intently watching the battle between Memphis (7-5) and Florida Atlantic (7-5) in the New Orleans Bowl is an indication that I have some sort of problem.

One of the worst things about living in DC

On NFL Sundays the Baltimore Ravens are almost always shown on CBS. So this week we are treated to Miami-Baltimore, probably the least appealing matchup on the board this week and one of the worst all year. Much rather be watching Pittsburgh-Jacksonville or even Jets-Pats.

zetahydrae: The problem with tumblelogging →

This post is both true and also comple crap. Lots of people tumblelog because they have nothing to say and just want to do del.icio.us on steroids. If that is all that you have to offer, that’s fine. But that is more a weakness in the author than the format. If you having nothing to say, you have nothing to say. Lame is lame. Blame the author. Not the delivery mechanism.

Manu Ginobili

This article from the San Antonio Express News lists Manu as a contender in the MVP race. Not going to happen obviously as Manu’s numbers go down when Duncan gets back. But I do think Manu’s offensive explosion with Duncan out allows Spurs homers like me to make the case for him as one of the 10 best players in the NBA. There is no doubt in mind that Manu averages 25 a night on an...

Scoble Article

This Fast Company article by Scoble on the web programs of the 2008 Presidential candidates is vapid and factually inaccurate in spots. As an example, the Romney blog he mentions as an example of great campaign blogging is run by a supporter, and not the Romney campaign. He talks about Hillary Clinton’s use of Facebook when Obama has three times as many friends. Etc. Etc. Etc. I know Scoble is...

Changes are afoot →

I’ve been a complete failure as a personal blogger so I’m switching tracks and trying a tumblelog. For the curious, I’m still using Wordpress and am working from this theme. I was looking at using Gelato CMS or Tumblr but decided to stay in Wordpress so it will be easy to switch back should I choose to. So hopefully my blog will suck around 50% less now.
