Let me get this straight…
Would you ever purchase something without being able to see it, touch it, hear it? Well, apparently there are a lot of people out there that are willing to do just that with the new Apple iPad. According to Investor Village, and re-posted by Fortune’s Apple Blog, about 120,000 people have already pre-ordered the iPad. I’m just as curious as the next person to play with the new iPad when it goes on sale next month, but to buy it without ever getting to use it at an Apple store, that’s just not going to happen.

Witnessing grown (read: old) men play hackey sack in Indy during their lunch break, waiting for one of them to pull a hammy.

Just call me rain man. No, not in a Dustin Hoffman sort of way. Today I start the first of four 2 week trips, the first 2 in Indianapolis and the second 2 in Birmingham. And wouldn’t you know it, the weather channel is predicting rain every day through Sunday. This is on top of the rain I brought to Phoenix, Oahu, and Miami during the past 6 months. If you’re experiencing drought conditions in your city, you might want to give me a call, fees are negotiable.

Heard a great idea from someone who wishes to remain anonomous here on the blog. His idea was why don’t they just create C-SPAN type channels for the Olympics? The logic behind the idea makes sense. We don’t care to listen to the announcers anyway! This way we can watch all the sports live as we see fit. Then NBC, in their attempt to ruin the Olympics as much as possible, can create their “made for prime time” version for those of us that can’t watch the Olympics live. And why will this great idea never come to fruition? Because it just makes too much sense.

You should know by now that things that make sense are not allowed to exist.

Sadly, I do know that already, but every once in a while I’m reminded of it.

There’s a new pet peeve to add to the list. Drivers who use the entrance/exit ramp to/from a highway to bypass traffic. Now I’m not talking about people who are using the full entrance/exit ramp for what it’s intended. I’m talking about people that are already on the highway and cut over to the entrance/exit ramp to bypass traffic. I’ve seen this happen a bunch of times the past few days and today almost caused an accident. I had gotten into the exit lane in order to, you know, exit, and a car pulled in from of me. Not thinking anything of it, I kept going as if he was going to, you know, exit! Boy was I surprised when less than 3 car lengths later he squeezed himself back into his original lane and I had to press hard on the brakes. Ugh!

Looks like I’m going to have to scratch CNN.com off my daily reading list for the next week+ (in addition to Twitter). CNN decided to use their front page to name the winner of todays womens downhill about an hour ago. So much for the excitement of finding out as a result of watching it tonight. I’m not sure whats worse, the NBC tape delay or the fact that I can’t read the news without finding out who won.

What happens when ones good belt breaks? You reach for another one in the closet. Only this time, the belt didn’t fit. Not only didn’t it fit, it didn’t even have enough length end-to-end to reach around my waist. Either it’s a really old belt or I’ve gained a lot of weight… probably both. On that note, I’m hungry.

How is it the East coast gets to see the Olympics before the West? I’m forced to take a 2-week hiatus from twitter/sports blogs.

I’d probably pull my hammy!

Didn’t you pull a hammy a few years ago walking, when you were traing for a marathon?
