but a lot of female readers have been asking for “your boy in the dri-fit but without the dri-fit”.¨Ü Fortunately, I don’t have any on hand.¨Ü But I don’t want to let them down, so looking into research papers to find the latest algorithms I was able to do some computer compositing and after a few hours of rendering I got this.
Anyway, I have nothing else to do so I guess I’ll write a little bit about whatever comes to mind.
NBA Greats: This came up yesterday at dinner.¨Ü Top players in each position.¨Ü And I gave it some thought and tried to come up with a team without using the almost unanimous choices (Magic, Jordan, Bird/LeBron, Duncan/KG, Shaq).¨Ü So I guess this is my 2nd-best team.¨Ü PG: Isaiah Thomas; SG: Kobe Bryant; SF: Scottie Pippen; PF: Charles Barkley; C: Hakeem Olajuwon.¨Ü They’d do OK themselves.
The Office: Got a little too real a few weeks ago, but I enjoyed these past two episodes a lot.¨Ü I didn’t really notice it happening, but all of a sudden Andy’s basically my favorite character now.
Apple Support: Here’s how my first experience with Apple support went.¨Ü I got a refurbished iPod Nano this past October.¨Ü It stopped charging in December.¨Ü I scheduled an appointment this week and drove to the Apple store.¨Ü I sat waiting for a Genius to help me.¨Ü The Genius that ended up helping me was sitting there the entire time I was there waiting for my appointment time to start.¨Ü Fine, I can live with that, gotta stick to the schedule.
I tell him my iPod won’t charge, he looks in the headphone jack, says it’s water damaged and gives it back to me.¨Ü I suspect a rainy day can trigger the water damage indicator, but I really don’t think it’s water that broke my iPod.¨Ü Doesn’t matter, all of a sudden it’s a nuclear rod and he won’t touch it.¨Ü All I could think after that was, “Well, I coulda stayed home for this!”¨Ü Good news: I get a 10% discount off a new iPod.¨Ü Bad news: all I get is a 10% discount off a new iPod.¨Ü Goodbye $100.
Michael Phelps: Don’t smoke bongs with strangers when most of your eight figure income is from sponsorships.
