AP: Dublin Beer Bandit Raids Guinness. What seems amazing to me is why this guy would steal as many kegs of Budweiser as he would Guinness – it seems one is much more valuable. Though I guess Guinness is the domestic beer there and Budweiser is an import, but I can’t really see the Irish getting excited about Buds.
CollegeHumor: 2007-2008 Power Rankings. Well its been months since Penn State football had a top 10 ranking, but at least Penn State is number 1 in CollegeHumor’s poll. It looks like the number of submissions to the site from PSU helped overcome its downsides, like an average February temperature of 36 degrees.
The climax of last week’s Office. That’s what she said.
Penn State Live: Avoid holiday family feuds between female relatives. A public service from your favorite land grant institution 🙂 I guess it’s an interesting area of research and there’s probably no time better time than now to remind people, but still its pretty hilarious that they would post something like this.
City gas bash explodes into mass brawl. A “morale boosting” function turned into a fight when employees brought up layoffs (redundancies in the UK) earlier that year. Sounds like something ripped straight from The Office.
Scobleizer: The brand promise of Apple. “Any idiot can use an Apple machine (that’s what they tell you before you buy one) but if your machine crashes then you must be a “genius” to fix it.”
The HD fairy came last night, originally uploaded by Steve Clancy.
I finally got my HDTV at work – I may never watch SportsCenter the same way again.
Collegian: Company aids student entrepreneurs. Consultant, entrepreneur, and college roommate extraordinaire Rob Shedd is interviewed about his Lion Launch Pad. Besides my obvious bias of being a friend of Rob’s, I think its a neat project because its offering student entrepreneurs an environment that seems similar to the type of environment the Collegian offers student journalists.
kottke.org: Malcolm Gladwell’s new book on the workplace of the future. Gladwell is one of my favorite authors as I’m a huge fan of The Tipping Point and Blink. This follow up is about training and educating works for the future – which also seems to touch on The World Is Flat. Jason Kottke pulled a bunch of Gladwell’s previous writing on these subjects to keep us busy till the book comes out.
