Random Stuff -- The Super Bowl, Ads, and a Cool Blog

07 Feb 2006

The Super Bowl = Super Blow. Poor officiating, ridiculously poor coaching on both sides, and two teams who decided to play about as generic a game as they could. Bravo.
The Super Bowl Ads sucked. Except for 2. The two Sprint ads. The first one, with the guy throwing his phone at the other guy as a "crime deterrent" was only mildly funny until he hit him a second time. Then it became really funny. It became a classic when the Sprint splash screen after that actually listed "crime deterrent" as a feature. The second Sprint ad was funny the moment they played "Baby Come Back", and became hysterical when they broke out the Benny Hill-reference. They both can be viewed at Sprinttvads.com.
My friend Alex pointed out to me that the founder of the first company I worked for (and one of the smartest people I've ever met), has a blog detailing the construction of his gigantic timberframe house. That's a serious project.
