THANK YOU VEDDY MUCH: I hope you enjoyed the Jason Anderson interview from last week. That was really cool of him. Go check out his music at his website!

MINE: I’m loving this New York Times piece on Verizon’s MiFi device. It’s basically portable WiFi in your pocket for a fee. The device is like the size of a couple of business cards. Something to consider in the future, for sure.

BACK IN BLACK BLUE: Jeff Passan of Yahoo! News generally writes pretty decent pieces. This one in particular about Kansas City Royals phenom Zack Greinke and his struggles with social anxiety disorder and depression is a good read. Glad to see he’s doing better.

NOT SURPRISING, GIVEN HIS INTERVIEWS ON THE MATTER: BriTunes. Discuss.

I SURE HOPE IT DOES: The trailer for the new Woody Allen movie (return to New York, nerds!) titled Whatever Works is finally up. It stars Larry David among others. Looks Woody Allen-ish. I’m ready for it. Check it out below.

WOMP WOMP: Al wins. Norm loses. Result? Best headline evarr:

Okay, it actually reminds me of this. (Fast forward to 3:27):

GORE VERBINSKI, EAT YOUR HEART OUT: Here is a graph detailing the number of pirates killed by each President. Staggering.

THE SWISH: New York Yankee and former member of the Chicago White Sox, Nick Swisher pitched in the Rays 15-5 blowout of the Yankees last night. Swisher hasn’t pitched since he was a freshman in high school. Amazingly, no one scored. Funny piece. Swisher used to do segments on Comcast Sports Net in Chicago when he was here, and he always seemed like a nice dude.

WOOF WOOF: O hai, Bo Obama!

CHICKEN CUTLER: I’m just as amped as every other Bears fan for the arrival of Jay Cutler, the first real QB we’ve had since, well, this guy.
