Football’s version of the Zapruder film
After yesterday’s exciting win over Dallas, with rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger becoming the first Steelers QB to win in Dallas since 1982, it would seem Steelers fans couldn’t be happier. But the good news keeps coming. Physics shows that the officials’ ruling on the field regarding the Immaculate Reception was correct: Fetkovich, an emeritus professor …
Running in the cold? So much of the suck.
NIKE dips a toe into viral marketing: please enjoy these odd little Flash cartoons promoting NIKE Sphere products. So bad they’re good! They remind me of the stuff by OddTodd. A lot. Either he’s finally found himself a job, or he’s very easy to imitate.
Three hours with Baby Mamet
Good reading elsewhere: Skot at Izzle pfaff! shares memories of role-playing for cash in college, acting like as a hostage taker to give policemen practice in negotiation: I was quite free to invent a vivid past for my bad guy, as well as any motive I might have for the “kidnapping,” up to and including …

I’ve always liked marzipan
Blogging remains curtailed until I catch up on client work and overdue Inkburns items. Whilst I’m gone, please amuse yourself with the winners of the P22 Pangram Contest. Every one is delightful. For example: Joey questioned a wax museum about having his likeness crafted in marzipan.
Fore!
Stuck inside the office on a sunny summer Saturday when you’d rather be out on the links? Then you’ll probably hate reading about other people golfing while you’re working. Even so, I recommend you check out the Guardian’s live coverage of the British Open. Witty and bored British sports reporters watch the tournament on television …
But what does it have to do with the album?
The Wrapped Up in Books gameis surprisingly diverting, given its low-tech style. I like the idea of using a game to promote a music single, as Belle & Sebastian are doing. But couldn’t they have come up with a game that ties into the music better? Actually, I’m not a B&S fan, so maybe I’m …
