I’ll admit, I haven’t spent the time to create my own impossible list (though I do have an ongoing list of things to do before I die), but I just came across Melissa Joy’s impossible list and wanted to share two items that would certainly be on my own impossible list: 37. Anonymously pay the full tuition bill for a talented, highly passionate kid who would otherwise never go to college. Send a long, anonymous note of encouragement every semester. 46. Give $10 million away anonymously before I die. What’s on your impossible list?

Google is seriously taking on the world right now. First, a shot at Yelp. Next up? PayPal with the ability to send money directly from Gmail. Square better do something quick if they want to capitalize on the opportunity to unseat PayPal. Update: Also, they are taking on Whatsapp, Facebook and SMS.

Watch this preview of the new Google Maps… I’m not sure how anyone can watch this and not think the downfall of Yelp is coming. Maybe Yelp should have taken that half a billion dollars after all.

I honestly have no idea how the Warriors pulled game 4 out tonight. Curry was 70% with a gimpy ankle. Thompson wasn’t effective at all. Bogut had 3 fouls in the first 5 minutes. Landry had 3 fouls early on. Jack was a black hole who wouldn’t pass for much of the game. Down 10 at the half.

The greatest NFL running back of the 1990′s is…. Barry Sanders. Let’s be really freaking honest. Barry Sanders was a better runner than Emmitt Smith. Hands down, not even a question. Sure, he was my favorite player (as I alluded to here), but his amazing numbers are unquestionable – and he had a horrible, horrible offensive line and no passing game the majority (all?) of his career. Honestly, Emmitt Smith had the most amazing offensive line the league has seen in the last 30 years. Frankly, I’ve never seen a bigger, more dominant line than the Cowboys’ line of the 1990′s – Stepnoski, Newton, Erik Williams, Larry Allen, and Mark Tuinei. He had Aikman, Irvin, and … Continue reading →

There was an interesting comment from Anne Libby on Brad Feld’s post awhile ago that got me thinking about the future of the inbox. Here is Anne’s comment: If I were to write a similar post, it would be titled “Email … Continue reading →

You’ve all spaced off while “working.” Maybe that means watching a YouTube video, perusing Facebook (for the 36th time that day), g-chatting a friend, or checking ESPN for the 15th time. It results in hours and hours (and hours) of … Continue reading →
