iDigress, Part 2
Editor's note: Whenever I can't think of one specific topic to focus and elaborate on, I just choose a few and discuss each one a little bit. Read iDigress, Part 1.
This
The NFL season kicked off this weekend with a bang. Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner left no doubt that he is a legitimate every-down running back, Philadelphia Eagles rookie WR and punt return specialist DeSean Jackson had his coming out party (6 receptions for 106 yards/8 punt returns for 96 yards), and Patriots may be in big trouble with QB Tom Brady possibly being lost for the season. And I finally found validation in Brooke's iPhone, having every game's scores and stats at my fingertips. My favorite part of Week 1, however, was NFL referee Ed Hochuli getting tongue-tied during Thursday night's New York Giants-Washington Redskins game. Hilarious.
That
There are many things in life that are not quite what they seem. Politicians and big hitters who come up small in big spots are usually the culprits of being called a sham these days. Last week, however, on a trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond, I learned about the truest sham of them all: pillow shams. What a freakin' joke. We have them already, but do know how much these things cost? We paid $120 for two pillow shams, and apparently, I'm not allowed to even use them. Now that, my friends, it a complete and utter sham.
The Other Thing
Google turned ten years-old yesterday. In this world of flash-in-the-pan internet companies and trendy ideas, for your company to actually be referred more as a verb than an actual company is quite and accomplishment. Slowly but surely, they are taking over the world, one web application at a time. Ironically, while at a social gathering yesterday, I overheard two older women discussing a brownie recipe.
Woman 1: Wow! These are amazing! Can I borrow the recipe?Slowly but surely.
Woman 2: I got it on the Internet. Just Google it; it was the first result.Woman 1: What's a Google?
