Awesome Vector Illustrations

Maybe I just have a thing for Velma from Scooby Do. Maybe I really like the idea of her being a badass zombie/ vampire/ monster killer.

Or maybe I just really like these vector illustrations.

Tall Buildings With Silly Names

This is a cool little photo montage over on the BBC's website. Apparently, the Brits have the tendency to give tall buildings silly names, whereas we in America tend to not do the same thing.

I don't know what a gherkin is, but I would've named that gherkin building something, completely different.

Advertise with us

We are a streaming media company that will be webcasting the TAPPS Division II Semi-Final football game this Saturday evening (11/27/2010) between the Fort Worth Christian Cardinals and the Midland Christian Mustangs in Clyde, TX at Bulldog Stadium.

We’re offering advertising opportunities during our next live webcast. Right now, we have game sponsorship, pre-game show sponsorship and standard advertising spots available during the webcast.

Some background about the live game webcast:

Background of Viewing Audience:

Our live webcast audience will primarily be family members, students and faculty of the private schools who will not be traveling to see the game from both the Fort Worth and Midland areas. The primary audience is composed of people connected to faith based private/ parochial schools so as a general rule, we will not run advertisements for adult oriented businesses and services.

Our site sees an increase in web traffic prior to games from people interested in the webcast, but also from die hard fans that want to learn more about the game.

We feel that our broadcast is a good opportunity for web or audio ads to be seen by a hyper local audience of viewers. Prior to the game, we will release audio files of the coach’s interviews, press releases etc. which will have game sponsor ads embedded in the audio.

Website Statistics:

During our last Friday night game webcast (11/19/2010) the site had over 2,000 individual page views with more than 480 unique viewers watching the game live.

Saturday and Sunday, viewers who didn’t catch the broadcast or who wanted to re-watch the game brought 1100 additional views to the site.

If you think that you may benefit from advertising during the live football game webcast, please visit http://www.txsportscast.com/advertise-with-us/

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Obama's Internet Kill Switch, not Really Obama's

I love how the republican blowhards made this sound like it was an Obama creation. Turns out that the authority to shut off "any means of communication in time of emergency" rule was passed in 1942.

So, since 1942, every president since then has had the ability to kill communications at will during times of a national emergency. The blowhards, made it seem like it was an Obama power grab, when it's really not.

My biggest concern with the kill switch, is what will happen during the zombie apocalypse? Will they shut off the internet? Is that why no one in any zombie movie makes a reference to getting online and checking the status of things in other cities and so on?

On a serious note, I see the advantages in being able to sever an enemy's communication network. What I don't like, is that if/ since an enemy can use civilian communication channels, I may not be able to communicate with my family and loved ones.

That's what really bothers me.

Best Name Ever For A Restaurant?

This place is in North Austin, on Parmer lane and near the Samsung plant. I have not yet eaten there, but I love saying that I'd "like to go eat a Pho King lunch."

Yes, I'm juvenile like that.
