Here in Eugene, it seems to rain a lot. And by a lot, I mean every other day (lately). So, I decided to wear my rain coat to work. When I got inside I was greeted by a new variety of coat rack, complete with a sign that read “Long Coats Only”. Then I hopped over to my email. To the entire company, from Thomas Buscaglia — it read…

This is just a friendly reminder of our coat rack policy. I hate to have to do this, but there seem to be a few people among us who seem to be forgetting that these rules are in place for a reason. I won’t name any names, but you know who you are. Let’s try to remember: short coats go on short racks, long coats go on long racks. That’s all. If we all do our part we can keep this a pleasant work environment for everyone, tall and short.

Thank you.

Here is a picture of Ben Garney (one of the taller individuals here in the office at 6′7″) after he hung up his coat on the “World’s Tallest Coat Rack”.

Turns out that my coat is touching the floor because I am not privileged enough to use the “Long Coats Only” coat rack

Slide.com, provider of cool widgets for most popular social networking sites and beyond, is getting wrapped in the March Madness with collegiate themes for their services. I slammed together a quick little slideshow of yesterdays’ Michigan State victory over Marquette to exemplify what they look like!

Stanford is getting trounced in the Tourney. But what do you expect — their mascot is a tree!

According to ESPN.com, Tiger’s pitcher Joel Zumaya was suffering injuries in his right wrist, not related to pitching but rather his Guitar Hero addiction

Fun little watch for you Star Wars fans…

I’ve been looking into the wonderful world of Google Maps API recently.  In my search to find some of the cool mashups that people are creating with the awesome service I ran across this link, which helps you easily find satellite images of some of the coolest spectacles on Earth from space.  My personal favorite is The Colosseum under the Medieval Wonders category!  Check it out!

To say that my life has been a whirlwind the last month plus would be nothing short of an understatement. So many exciting things are happening and so many things to keep up with.

To make up for being a horrible blogger the past month, I am going to try and jam a bunch of posts out the next few days with a lot of exciting things for people to read– so come back often and subscribe to my feed if you feel so inclined.

I have been trying to identify a good time to fly back to Michigan for the holidays. Being new to this whole commercial airline thing (never having flown around Christmas / New Years), I have been trying to figure out how I can keep the pain threshold down on buying plane tickets. I actually have come across two sites that do a really good job of outlining current fares and trends. The first, Farecast, is a very nice little web app created to help you know when to buy. The site was designed with much statistical analysis in mind and does its best to let you know if now is the right time or if you should wait. The second of these sites is Kayak.com. This site is a little simpler, serving as an aggregator of all airline fares, but it is still a nice way to evaluate trends and see what rates are across the board.

Scott Bozack of Big Gig Productions recently just returned from a European Tour with Ok Go and The Hard Lessons, serving as a sound engineer throughout the tour. You can check out an awesome video of The Hard Lessons’ performance in Melkweg by heading over to FabChannel and searching “hard lessons” or selecting their concert from the list. Enjoy rockin’ out to that. Also, check out their track “Hey, Hey, My, My — Neil Young” by heading over to the music samples section of Big Gig Productions.

Headed over to Bend, Oregon yesterday with my brother and my girlfriend to enjoy the Detroit Tiger’s game (which they lost) and some fine beer at Deschutes Brewery. This place makes some fine ales, especially their winter seasonal, Jubelale, the Black Butte Porter. These are both most haves if you’re into quality beer whatsoever.

According to this article in the New York Times, Tower Records is no more. They have thrown in the towel. I see this as a big result of the popularity of online distribution of music. With iTunes making such a splash and the availability of CDs from so many sources online, the need for the traditional “record store” is all but over. People used to goto record stores to discover new musics and sample tunes, but now you can do all that on myspace or purevolume or practically all over the web. Just a sample of things to come in the world of purchasing media.
