Run, Read, Rock & Radiate.
Maybe it's just that I'm hyped up because you don't have to hear the excuses that surround the season of summer anymore...Ya' know...No one's around town..Times are slow during the summer...Everyone's on va-ca...It's too hot out...Geezus, get off it. Let's get readin'!
***Here's a great story from Slate this past week. Click on the link here. Neal Pollack's essay on society's fascination about sports management and GM moves in baseball, football, and basketball.
With the fanaticism surrounding fantasy leagues and the following of post-season moves and strategies booming each post-season, it's good to see that someone is getting their hands around the phenomeonon that little Johnny doesn't want to be Edgar Renteria but Theo Epstein.
Pollack is former Chicagoan, and I never knew he's from Austin, Texas. Hit up Pollack's website for some of his reads...Dude, has mad game. I've also placed the article in the del.ici.ous account to your right. Hit it up.
***More New Orleans Tid-bits.
* T-Mobile steps up huge, and here's to all of the wi-fi renegades who stepped up to make a lot of makeshift wireless services available to the community for information. Let's get people connected down there. Some amazing stories are coming out of there right now.
* Here's an incredible story through WiredNews about Zipa, a web-hosting service and co-location center in downntown New Orleans, that is providing service for over 10,000 customers from the 27th story of a damaged center city building. They're providing server space for thousands of websites, and they're promising to hang on for a few more days...Huge respect....Keep it up Zipa.
* Not even close in importance, but it shows how huge this storm was. There's bad news for the Superdome...
I'm watching the Miami/Florida State game, and Ted Koppel reports from Jackson Square that the founded rumor that the Superdome will be destroyed is highly likely.
Damn, the country's "big-game" venue is coming down...I am stunned.
* FEMA, Bush, Homeland Security, local forces were absolutely horrendous in this ordeal. However, I'm not so sure about the nation jumping behind hyping of Ray Nagin...The guy was in Baton Rouge throughout the ordeal. Yes, he set up an example by evacuating, but he should have returned.
Why didn't he assemble a command control center for local officials to set up in case of emergency? The Wiki tells of his climb...For some reason, I have a feeling that this is going to go a lot deeper than you think in terms of finger-pointing.
*Good reasoning by Freakonomics author, Stephen Levitt, about the email plea that states "Please do not buy Gas." Read Levitt's blog post about why we should rephrase the plea to "Please do not use Gas."
***(Light Stuff) Run, Read, Rock and Radiate - My boy, Sam, who is a teacher in Berkeley is ripping it up on Craigslist....Ladies in the Bay Area get your hustle on, and email my boy. Hit up his personal ad on Craigslist.org.
The dude has game.
