Ken Jennings, I think you are great.
If you love Jeopardy, game show drama, or the little twinge of pride when you know something random about the world around you that no one else in the room can quite remember, please read this book.
Not only do I love following the story of Ken’s 75-game streak on Jeopardy, (I remember it vividly - I watched a downloaded video of his losing game over and over and swore to all my friends he was tired of winning and threw the game)… Not only do I love playing along with the trivia sprinkled in every chapter (I get a measly three or so answers per chapter)… but I love Ken’s genuinely entertaining, intelligent, witty writing style.
As I might have insinuated - this book might not be for everyone. But if you’ve always wondered what it would be like to grace the Jeopardy stage - it’s a must read.
Even if you’re not leaping out of your chair to grab this book - go check out Ken’s blog. His wit doesn’t stop at paper.
NOTE: this is book number 6 of 10 (7 of the ten are the Harry Potter series) that I have resolved to read in 2008. Tracking pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Lots going on at work today - in case you haven’t noticed.
That’s right, we launched the new Nuts About Southwest today!
(If you saw some random posts today - that was QA testing some trackback functionality.)
We’ve also created some screencasts that show off the functionality - so if you want to cheer (or jeer) at my internet broadcast debut - check out this post on the RD2 blog.

Not only do you love Barack (as is apparent in the latest round of primaries), Barack loves you back. And he is your new bicycle.

Reload this page as much as you want for different nice things Barack has done for you. For instance - Barack Obama skated here all the way from the beach just to be with you.
XOXO, Barack.

Her enchanting melodies and adorable British accent (coupled with her lyrics about crushes and breakups and her noncommittal ways) make my obsession grow fonder.
Some of my favorites:
Merry Happy
Enjoy and obsess!
