Brady vs. Brees

I like the stark contrast between Tom Brady and Drew Brees pre-game.

Brees: your teamates aren’t dogs that need to be verbally excited to perform their job. If my manager came into my office on Monday morning and did this, I’m not sure how I would react.  It certainly wouldn’t motivate me to program faster, better, (stronger?).

Of course, I think he knows this which leads me to believe he only does this for the cameras and your average Sunday couch potato, which is even less appealing to me.

Brady time and again puts his faith in his personnel to be the professionals that they are, perform at their best and put wins and losses behind them.

I only post this because Brees post-game finally softened my opinion of him with this:




Don’t get me wrong, his ability as a quarterback are unquestionable.  Top 5 in the NFL currently, his SuperBowl stats were even more impressive and he played one hell of a game.

Just drop the show-boating. Ray Lewis already owns it anyway.

Barnes & Noble Nook WiFi review -- Engadget

I love my Kindle and evangelize it at every opportunity. Often people get to know me as the "eReader guy" and come to me for advice regarding the gadgets. Whenever someone asks me the "Kindle or Nook" question, my response has always been the same: They both are so close in features, some minor points in each device's favor, but overall, I feel like the Kindle beat a Nook in almost every way. I think that has all changed in the current landscape. I've always said I thought the Kindle's keyboard was a vestigial tail and is a design compromise at best. The new Nook really thumbs its nose at the Kindle's aging design choices and I hope this major failing is resolved with the next generation of the device. The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
