** **Best Commercial*: The job search place with the monkeys
** **Worst Commercial*: Fedex/Kinkos
** **Donovan McNabb*: He’s overrated. Yes, he’s a very, very good quarterback, but he’s not nearly as good as the media would have had you think
** **Terrel Owens*: Simply put, he was unbelievable. His performance should go down in Superbowl lore as one of the most gutsy things ever. He was right and everyone else was wrong.
** **Tom Brady*: Simply put, one of the best ever. He just wins.
** **Deion Branche*: We all agreed, definitely the most valueable player
** **Score*: Was it just me or was that game way better that expected?
** **Parity*: The NFL has achieved its goal of trying to make all the teams as equal as possible. True, the Patriots have won 3 out of 4 Superbowls, but each one has been a very difficult win. This isn’t like SF wiping out Denver 55-10.

Overall, I enjoyed this Superbowl quite a bit… not as much as the first Patriots superbowl against the Rams, but it still was quite fun.

[DVD Verdict Review – Scrooge](http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/scrooge.php:) “Still, a single question lingers after absorbing the magic that is Scrooge: why is this sweet, substantial celebration of the true spirit of Christmas (outside of the religious realm, thank you) not a perennial favorite, revisited again and again like It’s a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, or A Christmas Story? …Scrooge is a forgotten holiday classic.”

I’ve often wondered this myself. [[Scrooge]] is quite simply my favorite rendering of the classic Dickens tale.

Wahoo! They did it… not the blowout that I expected, but a victory nonetheless.

More thoughts tomorrow. Right now, it’s bedtime.

Only a couple more hours until the Patriots spank the Eagles!

[Gravitational Pull](http://homepage.mac.com/gravitate/iblog:) “It’s Super Sunday (finally!) and the pundits are
all over the place calling for the Eagles to upset the Patriots. Won’t happen. How is that
Andy Reid, the coach who couldn’t win an NFC championship game three years
running, is now some kind of genius, Donovan McNabb is better than Peyton
Manning and Brian Westbrook is Marshall Faulk, Edgerrin James and Marcus Allen
all rolled into one. Pleeze — spare me. Can you imagine what the hype would be
if the Eagles hadn’t rested their starters in their last 2 games and their stats
were even more impressive? Pats by 11 or more.”

You got that right… see my prediction below. Go Patriots!

Just a quick note on a new feature… documents on [[CarneyWeb]] may now be title free… this document is an example of just that.

Lsat night I went over to a friends house ostensibly to play poker with a group of guys that I used to work with. Well, that was the intent anyway. What ended up happening was a long (5 hour?) conversation/argument/shouting match/verbal brawl on topics that ranged from fixing social security to fixing discrimination to the superbowl. I haven’t had that much fun in quite a while.

Thanks guys! I can’t wait to do it again!

The Hipster PDA (Parietal Disgorgement Aid) is a fully extensible system for coordinating incoming and outgoing data for any aspect of your life and work. It scales brilliantly, degrades gracefully, supports optional categories and “beaming,” and is configurable to an unlimited number of options. Best of all, the Hipster PDA fits into your hip pocket and costs practically nothing to purchase and maintain. Let’s make one together.

####Building your first Hipster PDA

* get a bunch of 3″x5″ file cards (here’s 500 for less than 3 bucks)
* clip them together with a binder clip
* there is no step 3

I’m sold. I’m on my way to the store to get the needed equipment now. Imagine it, a PDA that never needs a battery recharge!!!

I’ve added a new feature to my website software. Every document now has an RSS feed icon denoted by: . This feed will be updated every time an item is added to the discussion of this document. This replaces the clunky email update option with a much more sophisticated solution. The URL at this link can be used to subscribe to the discussion in your favorite news aggregator.

This is true for all document types except blogs. Blogs generate a feed based on the items in the blog rather than any discussion for the blog.

As Dave Winer would say… *still digging*!

[Brent Simmons](http://inessential.com/?comments=1&postid=2984:) “Ask any weblog editor author—Adriaan or Fraser, for instance—and I bet they’ll tell you that weblog editing is surprisingly complex.”

He’s got that right. He continues:

Wouldn’t it be cool if weblog systems supported a standard set of attributes? Forget the API for a moment (though that’s important too)—I’m talking about the features different systems support….
Some informal convergence appears to be happening around Movable Type. Recent versions of WordPress and Drupal, for instance, are working toward Movable-Type-compatibility, where they support the same attributes. (They’re not quite there yet, but they’re getting there.)

I feel their pain. it took me quite a while to figure out how to get an XML-RPC server working, and then I found all these different APIs. right now, I have full support for [[Metaweblog]], and partial support for [[Blogger]] and [[Moveable Type]], but full support for them all is going to be painful. Not only that, but the documentation describing these APIs is almost non-existent. Can anyone point me in the right direction for complete descriptions of these things?

For instance, I want to support the trackback feature, but I can’t find any documentation of how that works. What about pingback? Is that the same thing? Two different implementations of the same idea??

I’d be pulling my hair out if I had any left [[:-)]].
