These jets* flew over the crowd last Saturday at the Ohio State v. Iowa game at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, Iowa.
When I say “flyover”, I actually mean “fly-I-thought-the-afterburn-was-going-to-bake-all-the-hair-right-off-my-head-holy-crap-those-engines-are-loud-over.”
To give you some perspective, this photo was taken from the press box. They could literally see into the cockpit of these planes. AY!
*PS – I blame these jets for the subsequent unraveling of the Iowa Hawkeye football team.
It’s no secret in my family: I love gifts.
I love getting presents, giving presents, opening other people’s presents–I love presents! That being said, there have been a few times over the years where I’ve opened a present and been thoroughly disappointed by what was inside. It’s the thought that counts–unless you’re not sure what the person was thinking when they bought you that gift!
I wanted to make sure my family and friends had an easy way to access gift ideas for me at their convenience. My wife started getting the “What does Justin want for Christmas?” questions in September, so I thought I’d ease the strain on her and leverage the social web in the process.
Enter: Delicious.com. You’re looking at a picture of my Delicious feed with the tag “xmas2010″. We’ll get to how I did that in a second. But first, a snapshot of what Delicious.com is.
Have you ever had a person stand in front of you, waiting for you to acknowledge them?
You could be typing on a laptop in a busy coffeeshop, talking on the phone in front of a restaurant or having a conversation with another person, but there they stand.
Waiting.
Lurking.
Stalking.
I call these people “social vultures”. People who buzz overheard, waiting for their turn on the carcass. Waiting for you to make eye contact with them so they can get their piece. Ugh.
Don’t be a social vulture. If you want to say “hi” to someone, say it and move on with your day. Otherwise, go buzz around someone else.
Buzz off, vultures. BUZZ OFF!
