And just because I absolutely have, and despite yesterday’s win with poor performance, Brazil vs. Argentina if it happens will come with a historic predictable outcome

Can’t wait for my AT&T contract to expire and switch over!

I’ve been really struggling to keep up with my blogging and professional writing lately. Hopefully I’ll get some more time in December when I take some time off. In the meantime I’ll share a very simple funny email my friend Jill Schoen shared at the office.  I’m assuming these are real, either way they’re absolutely classic.

As the title says… “Some People Should Not Have Facebook”…

ENJOY!

Today I was reminded of why I love the internet so much.  Google Street View, arguably one of the most amazing mapping innovations to ever hit my computer (or now my iPhone), has inspired over the last couple years a mildly obsessive compulsive behavior that drives people to look for odd things captures as the Google car drives by with it’s omni-prescent lens.

Recently it caught two live action roll players (LARP’ers) engaged in a harrowing battle for domination of the remote control for that evenings Lord of the Rings marathon.

If you don’t believe this is real then I insist you click the link and check it out for yourself. Make sure to switch on streetview and look around if it doesn’t take you there directly.

Some background … The Argentinan and Brazilian soccer / football / futbol rivalry is highly competitive as well as their respective sets of fans. Games between the two teams, even those that are only friendly matches, are often marked by notable and sometimes controversial incidents. Historically, it’s been pretty even (out of 93 matches there were 24 draws, Argentina won 34, and Brazil won 35, … though Argentina only has 2 World Cup titles and Brazil has 5!)…

Before a match in 2007 an Argentinean condom company posted ad to let Brazilians know what will presumably happen to them at the upcoming bout.

Brazil won the match prompting the Brazillian Football organization to run this ad:

You got to love Latin American humor! I hope I don’t have to explain these ads, but it’s one of the best uses of typography I’ve seen… so subtle, so clever… love it!
