Imagine how awesome the Flash video thing from Madden would be if they added it to, say, Burnout Paradise. Yeah: whoa.

Madden Video Highlights: Nice Touch

While chasing after an Achievement tonight, I managed a pretty decent punt return for a TD with the ‘Fins. I know, I know: bad team selection. But I wanted to post the video highlight because I think the capability to take a Flash video of a play in a video football game is one of the most awesome additions to sports games in a long time. No sound is a bummer, but it’s still a neat idea.

Why does the Delicious blog posting tool just randomly crap out every few weeks? I have to go back in and restart it myself all the time…

I’m Not Sure, But I Think This Is Mildly Accurate

This is how you do Web marketing to your audience. Someone at EA has been paying attention, and the fact that they got Tiger (apparently) to play along just makes it all the more amazing.

Mystery solved: the jambalaya mix was from Henry. Finding it randomly on my desk was still a little strange, though.

Building and testing iterations of installers gets very repetitive very quickly. Imagine watching progress bars move for eight hours.

I get back from a day away from the office to find a bag of jambalaya mix sitting on my desk. No note. No clue as to its origin. Huh?

Anyone have $20 I can borrow to buy my wife a dinner? I think she needs it. I wish I could take off the rest of the week.

Caleb has been diagnosed with mild autism. I admit that I feel lost and unsure as to how to respond. Yeah, not the best week.

I’m home with the kids this morning while Amanda is with Caleb at his evaluation. “Nervous” doesn’t begin to describe my day so far.

  • Old marketing with new tools
    Seth Godin: "We use technology to insulate us from our customers instead of bringing us closer." All too often, this is the case. Even something as simple as email has the ability to be used in a very personal and very real manner to make connections with people. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that the business world is still struggling to tear down the walls of impersonality and distance.
