This headline in today’s USA Today sports section gives new meaning to teamwork.
Does this mean the smart SuperBowl bet is the Steelers and the Under?
(only during SuperBowl week could this headline be attributed to a dude named Johnson…)
From the Street.com: “This is a company that’s priced for perfection and it didn’t deliver perfection today.”
Unsealed emails provide an incredible look into Larry Ellison’s wildly bad personal money management skills.
When you’re incredibly wealthy, the idea is to make money on interest, not spend it…
For some reason I picture Larry reading these emails on a Sidekick in the backseat of an extra large, black Escalade while making rhymed threats against anyone who tries to mess with his bling.
The emails also offer a unique glance into the personality of the software titan. Read the outtakes and you might have some idea why Oracle seems to have been treading water for several years.
The most common phrase in my house is probably: “Dave, wake up.” I tend to fall asleep after a few minutes of television watching. Sometimes it’s involuntary and hard to explain (24, Lost) and sometimes it’s a defense mechanism (CBS comedies, Kate Hudson movies, Oprah getting even with someone she’s mad at…).
The sleep comes on strong and runs deep. Cats can jump up and land on my chest. I’m still out. Phone rings. Nada. Small earthquakes. I murmur a bit and roll over, but that’s about it.
There is one exception to this rule.
No matter how deep my sleep, my body and mind will not allow for poor TiVo management. When a commercial arrives, one of my eyes opens slightly and my thumb hits the fast-forward button. I have successfully managed two-hour shows – never allowing more than a second or two of commercial interruption – without having actually watched a single scene of the actual show.
I can’t hammer a nail or change my oil while I’m awake, but I can operate most of my consumer electronics while deeply asleep.
Is this the modern description of the man of the house? Or is it just the best I can do?
No, relax. Match.com did not get acquired by the Hair Club for Men.
But they did join forces with Doctor Phil.
It’s a great matchmaking tool when you think of it. If the other person likes Dr. Phil, it’s probably not going to work out.
