I Wish I Were Joking
"Another piece of legislation that has yet to be drafted involves the infamous Zion Curtain or glass partitions erected on restaurant lunch counters to separate diners at restaurants from bottles of booze."
- And, no, I did not make that quote up. New liquor laws in Utah.

Update: Blackberry Stays
In an update to my recent post about Barak Obama and his Blackberry, turns out the new president will get to use one:
Per ValleyWag:
But Obama, who has long insisted he'd find a way to keep his beloved device, from which he was inseparable on the campaign trail, found a way; the souped-up BlackBerry will soon arrive in his hands, The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder reports. And good on him! This is yet another example of Obama's forceful push for change.

Commander and Blackberry
Really interesting article in the NY Times earlier this week about Barack Obama's obsession with his Blackberry. The article goes onto say that all the drama in the press mentioning how attached the future president is to his Blackberry could mean up to $50 Million in free advertising for device maker Research In Motion.
Nothing really new here. Celebrity figures have always had a positive affect on products when they are caught on camera using them, buying them, wearing them, etc. Sports stars sign huge endorsement deals all the time to supplement their ridiculous well-deserved salaries.
What is different about this situation is the fact that Barack is about to become the leader of the free world and will arguably be the most visible person on the planet, thereby making him more figurative in the general public's daily life. What's more, because of some archaic law about all presedential correspondence needing to be kept for eventual release to the public, Obama's makers will try and persuade him to give up the device during his presidency. God forbid the president be allowed to fire off quick email messages in a crisis situation while he's on his way to Air Force One.
What happens to RIM if and when their most popular endorser is forced to give up his prized possession? I guess they have to go back to John Mayer promoting them.

Hoping the Universe Somehow Sends This My Way
You can get it here, you know, 'cause you're cool like that
Another Ad That I Thought Was Good...From Back in the Day
Yeah, I get it, it's another ad featuring Jay-Z. But how can you argue with a guy who's worth north of $300 Million

2009 Resolutions
As cheesy as they are, resolutions for the new year tend to give one's life direction. Without further ado, here are mine (in no particular order):
- Live in the Now and utilize the Secret (wait, isn't that the same thing?)
- Travel more
- Dress more like a 30 year-old rather than a, well, 20 year-old
- Work because I 'choose' to, not because I 'have' to
- Participate in a real-estate transaction
- Attend at least one Red Sox game in Boston
- Become more environmentally conscious
- Stick with a mobile phone for more than 6 months
- Take more 'me' time
- Blog more
- Use Twitter more efficiently
- Work out 4-6 times a week more consistently (with emphasis on running at least once a week)
- Most important, realize, it's not always just about me
