Timely.  I have come across this quote a lot lately
startupquote:

If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.

I am surprised this “buy 1000 vuvuzelas and hire 1000 players to play at BP HQ” only has $70 dollars in support.  I think the Vuvuzela is the undoubted winner of the 2010 world cup.

Vuvuzelas for BP — Kickstarter
BP is not feeling the pain they are causing in the Gulf. In order to put a bit of public pressure on them, we plan to buy 100 vuvuzelas and hire 100 vuvuzela players off Craigslist to play in front of BP’s International Headquarters in London for an entire work day.
Please reblog, especially those with UK friends!


Vaguely brilliant.

Check out this world cup preview from “The Sun.”  I couldn’t watch the soccer match this morning.  I was on a conference call with some co-workers and a one person from a different company.  When the US scored, the other company individual yelled “yes,” and went on to tell us the US scored and was advancing.  Was a funny moment.

NBA Finals

I simply pose the question and yes, I understand it is a long season:

but is the offense really that bad tonight, or is it the case that if the game were played with some portion of game 7 passion and defense, we would see this more often?

interestng about cassettes…34K sold in 2009

34,000 Cassettes were sold in 2009, per Nielsen Soundscan. It was the worst year for cassette sales since the record-industry data provider started keeping sales numbers in 1991. At its peak in the mid 80s, music cassettes sold 900 million units a year.
