Diesel Online Store Launch!
Finally there is a way to grab Diesel tees straight from the source. Diesel launched an online store! It’s definitely a very impressive site.
These are nice but I’m not really into paying $50 for a t-shirt. If you aren’t either you can also check out ssense.com. They carry diesel tees for below retail.
If you buy anything from here definitely let me know how it goes…. More »

Good Halloween poem
In honor of Halloween, I figured I would post this poem from Harry Behn that I’ve always liked about Fright Night…
Tonight is the night
When dead leaves fly
Like witches on switches
Across the sky,
When elf and sprite
Flit through the night
On a moony sheen.
Tonight is the night
When leaves make a sound
Like a gnome in his home
Under the ground,
When spooks and trolls
Creep out of holes
Mossy and green.
Tonight is the night
When pumpkins stare
Through sheaves and leaves
Everywhere,
When ghouls and ghost
And goblin host
Dance round their queen.
It’s Halloween…. More »

Work life balance a key to being an effective Slacker Manager
How’s your management balance? Do you have a management balance, or are you standing on your tip toes, hoping nobody steps in front of you so you don’t fall on your face? I certainly have my days like that, and I find that days like that are among my worst, so I wanted to find some advice on how to be MORE balanced in my life, and hopefully that’ll spill over to my work.
Startup Spark talks about work-life balance, and… More »
Happy Halloween From Dejuiced and Jay Mariotti
When I tuned into Around the Horn, I was horrified to see that Jay Mariotti had the same Halloween costume as I. I still think I did it better. I have a headset and a real video camera. Take that Jay!
I really hope I run into a girl dressed like Tom Brady. I have on past occasions; I’m prepared this time…. More »
Friendly Play
So, you go to a bigger sized no limit game with a bunch of strangers and you bring a friend. Your friend plays pretty solid poker. You end up in a pot with your friend alone and he bets out at you, equal to the size of the pot. You know he probably has at least top pair. You have a gutshot straight draw. Do you call?
There’s nothing I hate more than playing a ring game with a friend and… More »
Next on ‘Stargate Atlantis’: Tabula Rasa
Tabula Rasa
Tabula Rasa is a Latin term meaning “clean slate.” It comes from the idea that people are born blank — with no content, and that everything we do and say is learned behavior. Unless of course, you’re stationed on Stargate Atlantis, because then Tabula Rasa means you’re in big trouble.
This week the team battles a deadly virus, only problem is they keep forgetting about it! It’s Ronon and Teyla to the rescue on the next episode… More »

Whirlpool refrigerator with the centralpark hub
I am flabbergasted by this cool Whirlpool brand refrigerator with the centralpark hub. The centralpark™ connection incorporates a plug-and-play platform into the refrigerator door, providing power and support for consumer electronics. The first platform is a CEIVA digital photo frame so you can display thousands of pics on your fridge without one magnet. It is currently on floors at most Best Buys. Expect them to roll out similar products in the next few months.

There’s Good Money in Astronomy
Astronomy has been very good to me.Contrary to what you may have heard, there’s money to be made in the sciences, particularly astronomy.
Consider for example:
The Clyde Tombaugh estate gets money every time someone says the word Pluto. Even Disney has to pay.The Edwin Hubble estate gets royalties for every paper that mentions universal expansion.Albert Einstein’s heirs get money every time someone understands general relativity. A little less for special relativity.Astronomers get a signing bonus for every comet named… More »
Mr. Look Right (attn. Dhoni and Sreesanth)
If Sreesanth and Dhoni reckon they are the coolest-looking men in cricket, they need to check this blog post out.
For those of you who are cheesed off with all the ho-hum surrounding Sreesanth’s Bollywood career and Dhoni and Yuvraj’s flings off the field, have a break, have a Kitkat.
Luke Wright–ah, Mr. Look Right (thanks Neha for the word play)– is cricket’s second hottest man (you know who’s first). Take a look, Sree and Dhoni, at him. And then go look… More »
The Future of Fundraising
Katie Polone is only 13. She has plenty of time to figure out what she wants to do in life. Don’t be surprised, though, if philanthropy is in her future. The Keller, Texas, resident saw coverage of the Southern California wildfires and was moved not only to tears, but to action:
“I looked at the (fire) pictures online and saw how devastating it was,” Katie said by telephone Tuesday regarding last week’s fires.
“At that point I started crying,” she added. “I… More »
