As for the football games, they were good watchin'. I was surprised to find myself rooting for the Giants but I do tend to lean towards the underdog. When it comes to sports, I echo Lord Palmerston's belief: "When it comes to sports I have no eternal enemies or perpetual friends, only eternal interests... except for hating the Yankees."
Speaking about my enemies, I can't stand those stupid Apple commercials with the effeminate, slovenly "dude" mocking Bill Gates. Any of you who have read my blog long enough know I hate slanderous and negative advertising campaigns, highlighted by my actual letters and official boycott of Progresso Soups for their stupid, condescending, "I used to eat Chicken and Stars soup... and then I learned to tie my shoes" series of ads. That boycott is still in effect, by the way.
What's killing me about the Apple ads is that they are promoting the lamest features on the shaky new Leopard OS that ranked #2 on PcWorld's greatest failure's of 2007. Even the glitchy Windows Vista, which is no picnic, was only #14 on same list! Anyhow, the prominent ad you probably all saw was bragging about Leopard automatically copying files so you can't accidentally "delete" them. In other words, if you're a complete idiot, Apple is the computer for you. Despite the fact most OSs have a recycle bin/trash where you get a second chance to save any lost files anyhow, Apple is actually boasting how they are becoming the AOL of the home computing set. Stupid commercials. At least my brain doesn't even acknowledge truck and car commercials anymore, which is a good thing.
Anyhow, it's Monday and my brain is tired. It IS snowing here in Boulder, which is awesome! Kinda wish I had the day off but... so it goes.
