Random Thoughts 3/19/10

  • I guess I'm wavering between sympathy and annoyance with people who abuse alcohol on days like St. Patrick's Day or Cinco de Mayo. I don't want to hear on Facebook about how drunk you got or what you can't remember. As a minister, my heart breaks for the damage you might be doing to your health and relationships, especially the example you set for those watching you.
  • ESPN had 4.8 million brackets entered online by fans of college basketball. After the first day, only 56 brackets were still perfect (.0013%).
  • Thanks a lot Georgetown.
  • The Chiefs signed former Colt and Kansas City native Ryan Lilja six years too late. Seriously, this is still good move.
  • Jon Arbuckle never seemed so suicidal before. Here's a website (and book) that revolves around erasing the character Garfield from the cartoon strip Garfield, leaving only his owner, Jon, talking to himself. It's called Garfield minus Garfield.
  • Steve Jobs buys an old mansion built by a famous architect. The place has become so rundown that Jobs decides to demolish it. What's the problem? There's a group of do-gooders that won't let him tear it down. Look at the mansion here.
