Not officially, of course. As far as the NCAA is concerned, NCAA Tournament pools do not exist. But effectively, they’ve just thrown a huge monkey wrench into the mid-March plans of every pool administrator, myself included: The final four at-large teams and final four automatic qualifiers in the newly minted 68-team NCAA men’s basketball tournament field will meet for the… Read more »
We went to the Colorado Renaissance Festival today. ‘Twas fun. Over on Facebook, I expressed something I’ve long thought about RenFests, updating my status to say: “Brendan thinks Renaissance Festivals, like donkeys ogres and onions, have layers. Layer #1: amusements to entertain little children and kids at heart. Layer #2: scantily clad nerds hoping to get laid. Not necessarily in… Read more »
…but on iChatr, a.k.a. ChatRoulette for FaceTime on the iPhone 4, it’s kind of obvious. P.S. A bit later, Toby got rickrolled:
