VentureBeat: “Starbucks has now processed more than 26 million mobile payments since January, Adam Brotman, vice president and general manager of digital ventures at Starbucks, told VentureBeat.”
In a word, WOW! Do you think Peet’s and other big names will soon follow suit?
Peet’s, I’m here to help. (I know, shameless, but a guys gotta try, right?)
ESPN: “This is the first time since the BCS expanded to five games that a team outside of the conferences with automatic qualifying bids failed to make a BCS game. No one-loss non-automatic qualifier has ever been selected for a BCS game, either.”
Ahhhh, some dissent, finally. It’s time for the NCAA to create a real playoff system. Yes, it can be done, they just don’t want to do it. I’ve personally done bracket after bracket after bracket. It could work. Top 16 are in.
I think it’s time to put together a new bracket.

ESPN: “Do they want to shell out a huge bonus that ostensibly keeps Manning around for a while? Do they keep him, but draft Andrew Luck and deal with the drama of a perpetual quarterback debate? Do they deal the rights to Luck and recoup a ton of draft picks even though they know, as much as any organization does, the value of sustained great quarterback play?”
Sorry Mel, the title of this post is harsh, but what are you thinking? I know you’re supposed to be an expert on the game of professional football, but why are you even writing this nonsense? Slow news day? Don’t have any NCAA draft picks to talk about? Seriously, this is Peyton Manning we’re talking about. The best Quarterback in the NFL. Yes, that’s right, the best. What other team in the NFL depends on their team more than Indianapolis? I think their 0-11 record tells the story. Hey, when Tom Brady went down in the 2008 season New England went 11-5 with Matt Cassel at the helm. Without Brady New England goes 11-5, without Manning the Colts are currently 0-11 after having a 10-6 season with him.
Please, for the love of Lambeau, stop this nonsense. Peyton Manning belongs in Indianapolis for as long as he can play the game. It would be a shame to let one of the greatest Quarterbacks to ever play the game walk out the door for a kid that’s never played a snap in the NFL? Ever heard of first round pick by the name of JaMarcus Russell? I know, I know, that’s a pretty extreme take on the situation, but how do you know how the kid will play in the NFL, until he’s actually on the field?
Do I believe Luck will be a bust. No, of course not. What’s wrong with the kid backing up a future Hall of Famer? There’s a guy in Green Bay that’s doing amazing stuff after a few years backing up another future Hall of Famer, right? Right.
Stop. Just stop the foolish talk, ok?
Good evening! I know, I know, I didn’t post the answer on Friday, but it couldn’t be helped. Life sometimes throws you a curve ball.
We have a winner, none other than Jerry Fahrni, my brother. Congratulations Brosky.

Good morning movie liners. Let’s get to it, good luck!
Ok, quick, what movie! Send your guesses here.
I’ve been using Posterous for a while now, as an alternative stream. I post pictures to Posterous indirectly through Instagram and text through ping.fm, on occasion. I have a couple other weblogs that use Posterous exclusively, but I can’t quite move this weblog to Posterous, yet.
I have a couple requests. I believe these would get me a long way toward having the weblogging solution I’m after.
I’d like to have the option to publish static HTML to an FTP site. A fully baked weblog. Why? A better question is, why not? I want a weblog minus a lot of dynamic content, it’s all about the content, the text, the post. I don’t need my pages rendered every time my site is hit. I’d like to generate static HTML when the “Publish” button is clicked. I was a Blogger user for years because of that feature, until it was removed. I’d love to see this feature.
Give me different archive options. This request goes hand-in-hand with my prior request. If I move my weblog from WordPress to Posterous I need to make sure I don’t break links to my old posts. My posts are archived by YYYY/MM/DD/post, which, according to Posterous support, is not possible today. I asked support to pass that request to the development team. I hope it makes it out of the backlog.
That’s it. I believe, with these two changes, I could move my weblog to
Posterous.
Fingers crossed.
My Old Weblog: “Will Harry’s death save the world? I think we’ll have to wait for book seven to find out! I for one hope Ms. Rowling has some twisted scheme up her sleeve, one we can’t possibly guess, for the final chapter in Harry Potter’s life.”
We all know how it ended.
As an aside, I miss Harry Potter. I’d love to see J.K. Rowling write more about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Good morning folks.
We have a winner. Congratulations to Mr. Bill Lazar!

And remember, “It’s so fluffy, I’m gonna die!”
I’m thankful for my family. I love you all very much.
P.S. – If you need me to make you one of these awesome photos, let me know. I don’t charge much, but I have a huge backlog, so sign up now for next year.
