Nathan's report card
Ask me, who has a kid, who just got strait A's on a report card, is doing well in Baseball, reads on a grade level above his, has been doing all his house chores as promised and wants to buy a cookbook for kids so he can learn to cook.
Go ahead, ask me. :)
Rutgers vs. Imus
I don't care about Don Imus's recent remarks on the news. I think it was racist, but I also think it's getting sensationalized. I don't care about Rutgers University women's basketball team, I don't care about all the media coverage it's getting, I don't care about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton going to the media and demanding retribution.
I do hope that for whatever the outcome is, that Imus, the Crypt Keeper, is finally pulled off the air. Who is listening to this guy? The only time I ever hear him is if I pull an all-nighter working and he comes on like 5am on the television in the background.
I think it's pretty big of the Rutgers Team to agree to talk to Imus, by doing so they come across as magnanimous and thereby discredit the very remarks that were made about them.
Gaff Magazine
Back in 1997 when David and I started up Outland Design, we launched an ezine called Gaff Magazine. It was like Maxim, aimed towards men with articles about tech stuff, travel, current politics, and news. It was meant to serve as a show peice for what we could do and it worked well, Gaff brought us a lot of attention at the time and we got a lot of work from it.
Gaff awards were given to people in the news who shouldn't have been. We had a movie review section and that was cool since we got press passes to screenings all the time and free stuff to promote the movie. There was also a swimsuit model in every issue who we featured local models available to us in Oklahoma City. David finally got his act together and put his photography on Flickr and featured a few of our Gaff models at the time.
I was the official Gaff reflector guy for these photoshoots. :)
