    This is a find from @alphainspire. I had to re-post because this totally beats the Bron commercial by a landslide.

    Phoenix Sun, Steve Nash gets real:

    Do - entertain me.
    Don't - bore me.
    It's not much of a science.

    They could have shortened this commercial to the part where he puts the shoes on her.  Because everything prior to that is completely lame.  And I'm normally a Nike enthusiast.  Shoot, I also respect Lebron.  And I've shared a special moment with Nicole myself.  I can technically say she celebrated my birthday with me.  She happened to be at Luna Park on my birthday and watched from a table nearby as my sparkler-cake came my way (you almost had to wear goggles to avoid the sparks-a-flying from the candles).  Although in my vivid imagination, I pictured her climbing on top of my table and serenading me and my guests with a birthday song, ha.

    Anyway, I still feel like I wasted 3 minutes of my precious brainpower absorbing this commercial, yet what would possess me to share it with you?

    I know Halloween is so yesterday already, but I couldn't help but notice some really creative costumes this year. (I've seen homemade domo-kun, which I would have to say beats my iPod costume from 2 years ago)

    But my all-time favorite this year, hands down, is Creed from the Office as Joker. 


    Hi-freekin-larious!   I really can't get enough of this show.

    As if we weren't already aware the economy is at a downturn, need we be reminded by respected companies in their industries laying off their headcount?  These are sad times.

    EA, aka Electronic Arts has always been a top dog in the gaming niche and we've come to learn recently that they too, have had to make some company adjustments in current conditions.   They've laid off 600 people, http://kotaku.com/5071439/electronic-arts-laysoff-six-hundred for more info.

    In this economic decline, I've always thought it was safer to assume the booming industries like video gaming wouldn't have to resort to these measures.  I guess that goes to show, assumption is still the mother of all eff-ups and we should be on guard at all times.

    As much as I've been enjoying these first couple of Laker games as clear indication that the Lakers are back and stronger than ever as a cohesive (almost unfair?  nah!  nothing unfair about talent and hard work) team- 

    I enjoy watching the other games just as much - The Suns/Spurs game last night was highly entertaining.  I like watching these two teams duke it out. 
    This was pretty funny:

    Other highlights from around the NBA last night:

    I'm so excited!  I am going to have to change up my sleep routine so I can get home in time for more games.

    I'm a huge fan of touch screen technology. I love using ATMs, my car stereo, iPhone, anything where my fingertip has the final say.

    So you can imagine to my delight, how excited I was that the SF mall downtown offers a touch screen directory.

    I'm waiting for Apple to come out with a touch screen computer. I know HP has the Touch but imagine how sweet the Mac would be!

    Were consumers' experience with Vista so bad that it is enough for Microsoft to extinguish the Vista brand and reinforce Windows instead? 

    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/technology/business-computing/29soft.html

    I use both PC and Mac, at home and at work.  I can't function without the other.  I guess I'm a bi-platformer. I'm a PCMAC (?)  If you want to check out "PC"s:  http://imapc.lifewithoutwalls.com/

    While Mac has all these cool, easy-to-use functions, my PC has always been my comfort grounds for everyday tasks like typing up Word docs or opening up Excel sheets.  I also find it easier to code HTML on my PC, but the ability to run multiple programs on Mac and quickly load graphic programs like Photoshop, beats PC.  Innovative functions like video chatting and desktop sharing rules with Mac.  I'm always impressed with the cool way to view files and folders in Mac, but for some reason, I like the simplicity of the old school yellow manila folders on the PC.  I can't settle on one machine. 

    Always amazed that we've evolved into this stage of computing - I recall when I was 8 years old, typing on this prehistoric word processor (it might have been the super-beta version of Word Perfect) on DOS, and I couldn't afford to make changes or mistakes along the way, because if I did, I'd have to use the back button until I got all the way back to the word I have to modify.  That back button was abused.  You might wonder why I was even typing at such an early age, before computing even became a household commodity. I definitely had an early start!    I'm just happy we don't have to CHDIR anymore. 

    Anyway, I haven't had that bad of an experience with Vista, although, I admit, I really didn't exercise it to its full extent.  Maybe others can vouch otherwise.

    My heart skips a beat to:
    That really good song that you can put on repeat without getting tired of it, the perfect swish from nothing but net, bright colors that scream attention which I don't like to bask in, cars that remind me of cartoons, the right sneakers for every occasion, the honest "I've-missed-you" look my dog gives me when I come home, a quick run in the dark imagining someone is chasing me, anything kawaiiiiii, frozen desserts of many fulfilling kinds, heroes or arch-nemeses, life ambitions and carpe diem actions, exercising brain power, exploring So Cal, and eating food that is yummy-yummy, in my tummy. Did I mention I'm a web-junkie? Long live internet!
