  • I mentioned the other day that one of my readers is a pastor in Connecticut and another reader is a pastor on the Llano Estacado, and they were both going to meet up at a conference in Atlanta this week.  They sent me a picture of them together as proof, that’s them above doing several things together.
  • Everyone was worried that Jerry was going to trade down from 14, but instead he decided to shock everyone and trade up to 6 to draft LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne.  I have two concerns here.  First, I support my friend’s theory that scouting a defensive back from a place like LSU or Alabama is a tough task since their defensive lines are normally so great it makes them look even better.  Second, the Cowboys during this whole process never communicated with him.  Never.  Seriously.  Granted, the Cowboys have connections with LSU, their head coach was a coach for the Cowboys at one time, but I’d think you would want to at least speak to your first round pick at some point, especially if you are trading up for him.  As Peter King put it, ” Not a call, not a visit, not a letter. Nothing.” #Cowboysforeverdoomed
  • I’m really surprised that Cleveland has decided to give up on Colt McCoy already.
  • It’s a busy weekend for me, I have a university workshop to attend on Friday night, and on Sunday morning I have to participate in a quarterly leadership meeting at work.
  • It was funny listening to The TICKET talk about the foul ball controversy that happened the other night.  One of the hosts kept calling the man that caught the ball who appears to be marrying a much younger woman “Captain Cialis”.  But surprisingly, that woman is a grandmother.  The one thing that didn’t help her case was they quirky way she posed for that picture about five seconds after getting the ball.
  • A California man that has had a bullet in his head since 1917 died this week at 103 years of age.

  • An interesting twist on a Pringles can, but it only works once.
  • Sometimes you can make stats say what you want them to say, but this chart makes one think that David Cameron’s push for austerity isn’t working.

  • That outfit is 30% off – now they are just $1,046.50.
  • Here’s a great photo idea for you newly married folks.  Take a picture each anniversary, and then hold that picture for the next anniversary’s photo, like this.
  • The best seat on a plane is 6A.
  • I knew that Jimmy Carter had solar panels put on the White House and Ronald Reagan took them down, but I didn’t know the George W. Bush put them back up.
  • Joe Buck had a great reply on twitter that made me literally LOL, but you would only get it if you knew who his father was and how he has been criticized in the past.  The guy has a great sense of humor.
  • I love how this cat just snatches up his new friend.
  • This was the original ‘Google Phone’ presented in 2006
  • Another armless drummer, but this guy uses his feet.
  • PEOPLE’s 2012 World’s Most Beautiful Woman lists someone from WifeGeeding’s hometown that has a population of a little over 5,000.  In my very biased opinion, I think WifeGeeding is definitely more beautiful, but I’d have to admit she can’t carry a tune.

  • This woman is very interesting into getting to know the last person taken in this year’s NFL draft.
  • After much thought and reflection, and trying to look at the issue from several perspectives, I decided to call my friend that said, “Keith, you have hurt more people than you now.”  I didn’t call to try to reignite a flame or get an apology, but just needed to know if that comment came out of anger because of something I said or if there was something more to it, and if there was, was there anything I could do to fix it to help him change that perception of me.  It turns out is was the former and not the latter, and I thanked him for offering me his time and grace in finding some closure to this issue and in helping me grow into a better human.
  • We had a resignation at work and management has asked me to learn configuration management to serve in a backup capacity.  Most thought this responsibility should have went to someone on the development side of the business and not the business analyst side, but since I had the compassion and like the idea of learning new stuff, I said in the most Barney Stinson kind of way, “Challenge accepted.”
  • A Texas college student who thought she would never get arrested for traffic warrants tweeted “”I still gotta warrant in pearland..those pigs will NEVER catch me!!!…NEVER!!!” actually got arrested.
  • On last night’s Rock Center, Brian Williams stated that it’s estimated that between our homes, schools, and restaurants, 40% of all edible food goes to waste.  It was part of a segment Chelsea Clinton did about restaurants in Florida like Red Lobster and Olive Garden donate food that would normally be wasted to underprivileged kids and families.  Her reporting was very subpar, but the story was still a bit touching, and it’s not like we hear positive news all that much.  You can watch that segment here.
