This is the best clock ever!

This clock slows down during your lunch hour then speeds back up to display the correct time, which gives you an extra 12 minutes of lunchtime (that's 1 extra hour a week). Awesome! Here's a video that explains it all.

2010 Recap: BASEBALL!

I'm on vacation, so I'm going to be lazy and post some stuff you may have not seen already. This post is from October 14th. Enjoy.


I love baseball. Watching games on TV is fine, but it pales in comparison to actually going to the games in person. It’s a great time sitting in the stands, watching the game in the warm sun (a marked departure from my M-F workweek). One of the things that I’ve wanted to do is to go to all the MLB ballparks. I’ve only been to a handful, so I’ve been trying to plan a “baseball road trip” that would put a large dent in my goal to see all 30 parks.

No posts yesterday? What gives?

I had to actually do work yesterday (sit in meetings and not talk), so I wasn't able to update yesterday. Today looks to be much less productive (as far as actually working), so there should be posts today. To make up for yesterday, here's a classic viral video from 2010 (it's Double Rainbow):

Secrets of Success or: How I stopped worrying and realized I'm not special.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm not more successful (too short for a pro basketball player, not enough rhythm to be a musician, willing to accept a job that only has me work three hours a week, etc.), but according to Malcolm Gladwell it could just be that I don't have the love. 

Actually working today. What's up with that?

So, today I'm actually working. That means that this will be today's only post. To keep you busy (at not being busy), here are some of my favorite time wasting sites:

BASEBALL!

I love baseball. Watching games on TV is fine, but it pales in comparison to actually going to the games in person. It’s a great time sitting in the stands, watching the game in the warm sun (a marked departure from my M-F workweek). One of the things that I’ve wanted to do is to go to all the MLB ballparks.

Since I don’t have any actual work to do from 9-5, I figured I’d create the ultimate baseball road trip spreadsheet. It started as a few teams’ schedules for the month of May 2011, and grew into every team’s schedule for the entire 2011 season (it doesn’t include game times yet, but I plan on adding those when the times are released).


This is the ultimate time-filler at work. I didn’t need to worry about anyone stopping by my cube and seeing me reading gawker.com, or watching South Park online, because it looked like I was working on a detailed spreadsheet. Slacking off while looking extremely productive FTW.
