- GIFs are replacing short video segments which means advertising revenue is being lost because people aren’t subjected to a short commercial before a video. I expect to see many GIFs in the future have some sort of advertising in them, either a frame or two or an image or text at the bottom.
- Speaking of GIFs, here’s an interesting article on the guy who captures most of the NFL GIFs and how he goes about doing so.
- I’ve been in plenty of ‘heated’ discussions where I would replay the moment over and over in my head wishing I would have said such and such at the time. Recently I was in one of those discussions and I said exactly what I wanted to say, respectfully and to the point without being emotional or acting like an ass.
- WifeGeeding was outside planting tulip bumps yesterday in jeans and a sweatshirt while that NFL offensive lineman neighbor of mine was mowing his lawn shirtless but in shorts.
- I was reading a friend’s blog and he referenced a Bill Cosby quote that has stuck with me, “I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”
- The funniest thing I’ve read about Bum Phillips, “He once told sportscaster Bob Costas that he took his wife on away games ‘because she’s too ugly to kiss goodbye.'”
- Bud Adams and Art Modell both moved their teams out Houston and Cleveland because they couldn’t get backing for a new stadium, and yet both those cities built new stadiums for their new teams.
- Sometimes it’s really hard to take the threat of China seriously when you see stories on their smog problem.
- Mammals Pee For Same Duration Of 21 Seconds, Urination Study Finds -I use to time mine to see how long I could go, usually after a long car ride from college. I think my best was over two minutes without breaking stream and using a slow flow method.
- I have no idea where MSNBC or FOX News is located on my channel directory, but the Sprout channel for kids is 295.
- I long for the days when Apple was innovated and introduced a new product to change our lives. Since Jobs passing, all they seem to do is update existing stuff.
- For you Disney fans, here’s a great medley.

- Impressive vending machine skills – gif
Congratulations to the Keither. I was listening to the Ticket this morning and heard an entire segment devoted to your question regarding the ranking of the Jacksons. They actually expanded the list to include a Bottom Five and a "Dishonorable Mention". I'm sensing that, with a little self promotion, you could be a weekly regular with the Musers.
I'm pretty sure Coach Jimmy Dugan holds the record at 4min 20 sec.
If what I heard about the iWatch is true, we'll all be astounded early next year. It wasn't from a primary source, but from someone big in tech on this week's This Week in Tech (at twit.tv).
I really think that Steve Jobs has been replaced by a better business man (Tim Cook), a better designer (Jony Ive), and at least an equal presenter (Craig Federeghi).
BTW, I'm using the just-released version of OS X and it's great, faster on the same hardware, easy to install, etc.
