I love to nap and I’m glad the BBC has published a story that tells me naps help boost my memory.
The Pizza Cone Is A Gift From Supernatural Beings
23 February 2010
The Lines of Nazca, Egyptian Pyramids, and various Crop Circles have all been attributed to Alien or Supernatural creators. I believe too that the Pizza Cone bears uncanny similarity in both marvel and sheer magnitude.
A new NYC eatery/take-out place called K! Pizza Cone may strike gold with their Pizza Cone creations. Their website sucks (and is broken) so I’m not able to review the menu or learn about them, but one thing is certain – if there was a K! Pizza Cone place near me, I’d be sampling their eats with gusto.
A short review is available over on Eater.com.

I came across this photo while browsing NBC’s 2010 Vancouver Olympics website. More photos of wildlife during the games can be found at this photo gallery. (requires silverlight)
I’ve always had an affinity for big cats and would love the opportunity to see one of these lynx in the wild.

6 February 2010
Last night the ad industry gathered at the newly renovated King Edward Hotel in downtown Jackson, MS. to celebrate our collective accomplishments over the past year and honor those who deserve special attention.
Mad Genius came away with either 8 or 10 Gold Addy awards – of special interest to me was the Gold Addy we received for best self promotion website for http://madg.com. That felt good.
Mad Genius also got lots of awards for our work with Farm Bureau Insurance – in particular the work we did for their NASCAR sponsorship website, farmbureauinsuranceracing.com (now offline).
The hi-lite of the evening however was the announcement of Mad Genius’ winning of the first ever Best In Show – Interactive award for our work on farmbureauinsuranceracing.com. It is the first Best In Show addy for Mad Genius in any category.
Get Cats For Your Gold – Catsforgold.com
31 January 2010
In conjunction with a global recession and volatility across the financial markets, a resurgence of investment into tangible assets has occurred. One of the most striking examples of this trend is the resurgence and unprecedented rise of gold bullion as an instrument for investment and monetary safe-keeping.
As indicated by the chart to the right, the price of Gold at London’s famed commodities market has virtually quadrupled from Jan 2000 to January 2010.
Alongside this meteoric rise has been a heretofore unseen lift in the number and presence of Cash for Gold schemes peddled over the TV and Interwebs. These companies provide what they say is an easy way for common consumers, hard-strapped with global unemployment, inflation, and general economic mailaise, to turn their Gold into hard currency.
A new player has entered to fray which promises a far greater return than existing firms – Catsforgold.com promises something its competitors can not match – namely, Felis Familiaris, or as it is more commonly known, the domestic cat.

Canes Sending 10 Players To NFL Pro Bowl
29 January 2010
I often feel a little self conscious when watching an NFL game that I remark too often about how this player or that player went to The U. I thought maybe I was just not being as humble or as courteous as others in not keeping my mouth shut every time a former Hurricane was in on a play.
It turns out its not my lack of modesty that is the culprit. It is the simple and clear fact that The University of Miami dominates the NFL. Need some proof?
Miami is sending ten players to this year’s pro-bowl – almost a decade since the last National Championship.
- RB Frank Gore, San Fancisco 49ers
- WR Andre Johnson, Houstan Texans
- LB Ray Lewis, Baltimore Ravens
- OL Bryant McKinnie, Minnesota Vikings
- S Brandon Merriweather, New England Patriots
- S Ed Reed, Baltimore Ravens
- S Antrel Rolle, Arizona Cardinals
- LB Jonathan Vilma, New Orleans Saints
- WR Reggie Wayne, Indianapolis Colts
- DL Vince Wilfork, New England Patriots
Four offensive players and six defensive players (including 75% of the Pro Bowl Free Safeties).
It is all about the U.

A Tale Of 5 – University of Miami Football Documentary
26 January 2010
Fresh off the heels of ESPN’s The U, A Tale of 5 now looks to shed light on UM’s running backs.
This is the first widely available trailer from the upcoming documentary that takes an inside look at UM running backs from 1999 – 2004, a period that produced Najeh Davenport, Edgerrin James, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee and Frank Gore.
For years, Miami was known as Quarterback U, having produced the likes of Jim Kelly, Vinny Testaverde, Bernie Kosar, Steve Walsh, Gino Toretta and current QB phenom, Jacory Harris. In addition to this QB prowess, Miami has groomed more than a handful of outstanding running backs.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
