My calendar creation
Originally uploaded by zen_cabbie.

So now I have a calendar line coming out. A variety of pictures of me fueled by copious amounts of beer. This is a teaser

Slate’s Randy and Jason Sklar, have a great article about how NBA players can get around the new league restrictions (ESPN).

I know my wife would be shocked that I am writing a blog entry about sports, but I have to give props to Randy and Jason, for being so creative. On the other hand I have to once again remember that athletes in today’s society should be above having to present an image that is appropriate for them to be idolized; an image that would increase the gentlemanly nature of what I sometimes consider a thugish living. You get paid to play a game. Most Americans would kill to be in your size 14, $10,000 Nikes, so quit complaining and go buy a suit.

I first found The Printable CEO on 43folders, and have since adopted it.

It’s based around a very simple idea: If you assign relative values to the tasks that are completed you can have a sense of accomplishment and a gauge to enumerate how hard you have worked. It’s also satisfying to fill in a bubble.

Having recently switched to a WebDAV connection at work, I have seen how nice it is to have an “integrated” file transfter. The drop and drag is nice, but the FTP built-in to windows… um. I don’t really like. It’s very slow. While NetDrive uses windows FTP client capabilities, I can now have it like a mapped network drive. Tres chic.

P.S. Windows only.

I don’t think I have ever written about how much Esther likes to interpretive dance, but she does. She’ll do it to anything. No seriously. Anything. Commercials, yup. Real music, sure. Made up beat-boxing, definately.

The only thing I could do is shoot off an email to said Merlin Mann, which conveyed this.

Merlin,
After listening to your weekly wrap up podcast, I have to say that I loved your podcasts formats. My favorite was the interpretive dance. My wife interpretive dances to everything, she could possibly help. Let me know.

We shall see.
