So I finally launched my pet project this morning, HomesickFan.com. I’d like it to be a comprehensive index of sports bars for out of town fans. In theory I’ll be able to put up some adsense, stubhub, ebay links and make a little coin too. Check it out, let me know what you think.
Also, I used amazon mechanical turk to gather the information, very cool application.
Just back from 5 days in colorado with Ang & the boys, what an absolute blast. I finally know what people mean when they rave about fresh powder.
Steamboat Springs, Co
And earlier this month with the work crew…
Heavenly Tahoe
Ang, Laura, Frank & I went up a few weekends ago. Good stuff.
Here they are
Guess the bitch is touchy.
I got a txt from the lady this afternoon from the lady that she has passed the california state line. She’ll be in San Diego tonight and make her way up north tomorrow, ending her 10 day (!) cross country tour. I’d love to do an MS paint blog of each spot she hit, but I just can’t get the energy up :) All in all I’m really excited for the whole situation, Lauren anxiously awaits the hillarity that will be me living with a girl on a daily basis, I really can’t argue the point.
Other recent highlights:
- my ankle has been at 95% for 2 weeks now, and refuses to go back to 100%, maybe because I refuse to rest it.
- While looking for aptartments this weekend, I made the rookie mistake of checking out a place I knew I coudln’t afford, a gorgeous 2br townhouse with an ocean view at Baker Beach. Stunning view and every amenity I was looking for, and only $300/month above my absolute ceiling.
- A new Don Jay highlight quote, where I jokingly made a remark about me being a possible child kidnapper to a woman’s 5 year old, both of whom I met about 5 minutes before.
- In anticipation of the Bill’s 5-11 fever this year, I’ve adopted some new teams. Don’t worry, I still fully support Bill Simmon’s rules on sports poligamy, so I’m not dumping the Bills, merely adding new fall sports to follow. First off, I’ve chosen to follow Stanford football (it’s college, so it’s not cheating on the bills). It was either them or Cal, and I’d rather associate with Stanford girls then the hairy yuppies over in East Bay. Also, another sports guy related idea; I’m going to see if I can follow along and chear for Arsenal in the Enlighs Premiership soccer league. I always liked the world cup, so let’s see if I can follow along on a daily basis (the other two teams I considered were Man City & Chelsa, but arsenal seemed right).

It’s not too evil that I laughed when I saw this, right?

I’ve started a movement.
If this guy buys a friendly’s franchise, I might go postal.
A very big congratulations to my friends Pat and Fran, and their new daughter Greta Olive Reed.
