Dear Mr. Gregg, Thank you! Thank you for standing up to a man that took steroids and charmed the media into overlooking his transgression. Thank you for standing up for the game of baseball, and calling out a DH who doesn’t have the energy to run out a fly ball after chilling in the dugout … Continue reading

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, and a Ridiculous Survey
Dr. Johnny Skinz’s Disproportionately Rambunctious Polar Express Machine-head, that’s the working title for the Red Hot Chili Peppers new album. It’s a little silly. Well actually it’s really stupid, but I’m excited nonetheless. I’ve finally found a release date. Looks like sometime this August. Incubus also has a new album coming out on July 12th. … Continue reading
The Underrated Yankees
When Colon, Chamberlain, and Jeter went down with injuries it felt daunting. Add to that the knowledge that The Yankees had let a Red Sox team that started 2-10 take the AL East lead, and it feels like a lost season. I was ready to start trading for prospects. Then, during Sunday night’s broadcast of … Continue reading
Black Swan: The Most Overdone Movie of All Time?
I thought the trailer looked terrible, so I didn’t see it in theaters. Seeing Black Swan nominated for an Oscar only made me feel more confident my decision was correct, since the critics always seem to get it wrong (Traffic and more recently King’s Speech both got acclaim and were both awful). Tommy D bought the … Continue reading
Web Design: I Built That Thing
Ok, so I didn’t really build it, but I did help. I didn’t code it, but I did a lot of non-coding content insertion (video, images, text) and coordination. Anyway I did a lot of worthwhile work on it and now we–Definition 6–finally launched our new website which can be seen at http://www.definition6.com. What do … Continue reading
Bud Selig and MLB Hope to Join Other Sports in Relaxing Playoff Passion
The NBA expanded their playoff bracket to 16 teams in the 80’s, so the majority of NBA teams already make the post season. In 2002 they changed the first round from five to seven games, making upsets even more rare and the first round even more worthless (the only eight seed vs. one seed upset … Continue reading
A Wave of Great New Music Is On The Way
Incubus just released a new single, “Adolescents.” I just gave it a first listen tonight, and I liked what I heard. It certainly has a great smooth sound with awesome guitar work. After just one listen the song seems to be about feeling overwhelmed, but I don’t want it to be that simple. Lyrics are … Continue reading
Bureaucracy In Large Corporations: Does Working for Goliath Suck?
One of my big projects as the marketing agency’s intern has been to renew our partnership with Microsoft. I’ve come to learn that Microsoft has a pretty beneficial program where, to put it simply, they give free software in exchange for using and getting clients to use their products in creating business solutions. There’s a … Continue reading
Atlanta’s Favorite NBA Team Wins One In Philips
Kobe, Derek, Pau, and the rest of the back-to-back champion Los Angeles Lakers visited Atlanta last week (3/8/11) and dismantled the Hawks. It was their 8th straight win and in my mind cemented their return to dominant play. It was also the only time Atlanta’s apparent favorite team (Laker fans easily out numbered and out … Continue reading
What Is The Warmth?
Most people think of the hit songs “Drive” and “I Wish You Were Here” when they think of the alternative rock group Incubus. Despite those mainstream (albeit good) songs, Incubus is actually a pretty off-the-wall experimental band. One of their better and more experimental songs is “The Warmth” from their third album Make Yourself. The … Continue reading
