Nothing much…

It’s been a busy last couple weeks. I was in San Francisco for AdTech and then went down to Tucson for a conference. We’ve been doing a bunch of feature releases as well which means there’s a lot of testing and tweaking and more testing on the product.

March Madness recently ended. A huge success overall. Increased traffic and overall exposure. We were on the Today Show last week as well. Sweet.

My brother and his wife graduated from BYU on Friday so that was fun. We had some family in town and were able to hang with them that night. Yesterday I went and played some much needed Golf. 2nd time in a long time. Played pretty well. Looking forward to playing even better and having more fun with it.

Anyway…just wanted to put the pencil to the paper and leave a quick post. Things are as usual…world spinning at a 500mph. Trying to do everything I wanna do….and do it in an exceptional way….obviously a lot easier said than done.

I’m excited for nicer weather and i’m excited to start playing tennis again. Word.

Oh one more thing….this is a funny picture I came across online. Life as a younger brother. :)

Zinch on the Today Show

Very cool.

 
Theatrical Thursday.

Rachel is starting to train Pixi(our growing puppy) a few simple tricks. Ya know, she’s starting with the simple stuff like sit, come here, etc. But eventually, i’m thinking we need to train pixi to do some more fancy tricks like Patches the horse. I especially want Pixi to learn the getting stuff out of the fridge and answering the telephone trick.

This is amazing. The latter part the video is most interesting. Meet Patches the horse. What does it for me is when Patches pulls the blanket up to tuck herself into bed…

Next.
So I was just watching some Sportscenter and they showed a pretty crazy Kobe stunt. I’m not sure if it’s real…but i’ll believe it for now until further investigation. Hmmm. Anyway, it’s tight. I’m excited for the NBA playoffs. I hope the Jazz make a good run. I already miss college basketball. But madness was fun…the final game made it all worth it. Wow.

Next.
Call of Duty 4. We have an xbox at the office and we always bring in the IT guys and we play Call of Duty for lunch. It’s intense and it’s fun. Ever since I brought of bunch of friends over to my house and played late into the night on Saturday…my game has improved. I can hang in there a little tougher now….whereas before Al and Drew would dominate me. I can now get a couple more kills against them. It’s fun.

That’s it for Theatrical Thursday. I had a not-so-great day today…so I hoped that perhaps a few videos would lighten the day up a little. But actually, my wife had a great day today and that’s all that really matters. She was able to lighten the day up for me and I am happy that she’s happy. :)

Theatrical Thursday should definitely become a tradition. It’s fitting considering that Thursdays are the days I watch the most TV. DVR can’t handle all that I want to record. Lost. Office. Survivor. Idol. Eli Stone. Sports. Thursdays really are somewhat theatrical…
