Ever since seeing the website This Is Why You’re Fat, I keep telling people to check it out whenever the topic of food comes up, so I wanted to share it here as well! Below are a few of my favorites… not that I’d eat them, but they’re particularly creative, disgusting, or both. Actually, the Twinkie doesn’t look THAT bad.

Hmm, it comes with internet access too!
Survival of the Fastest, a new YouTube channel for business
posted by Scott on April 10th, 2009
Google has launched a new YouTube channel to offer business advice to firms amid the recession.
Survival of the Fastest is a joint collaboration between the search engine, the London Business School and the Daily Telegraph and features video content from prominent business and political figures, offering advice on the best ways to cope with the economic downturn.
It is made up of three content streams – e-commerce, marketing and finance – and Google intends to use it to develop a business community on the web. As with other YouTube channels, you can subscribe to the channel, leave comments, vote on existing videos and upload your own video replies.
I’ve already found some great info and am interested to see how it continues to develop. Pretty cool!
Went to see Kooza, by Cirque du Soleil, in Baltimore
posted by Scott on March 28th, 2009
Today I went down to Baltimore with a group of friends to catch the 4pm show of Kooza, by Cirque du Soleil, under the Grand Chapiteau at M&T Bank Stadium. The show was about 3 hours long with a 30 minute intermission. All of the performers were phenomenal; the three contortionists, the unicycle duo, the chair balancing act, the dancers, the music…. everything! I think it was the Wheel of Death that had everyone on the edge of their seat though (or cringing and covering their eyes) — I could feel the tension and suspense of everyone else around me.
Kooza is in Baltimore until April 5th but if you can’t catch the show, they’ll be up in New York, NY starting April 16th. What a great excuse for a long weekend in NYC! Visit the Kooza website for show information and tickets.
And finally, thank you to my friends Jason and Jim at Innovative for the tickets!
You've got a real attitude problem, McFly. You're a slacker!

For years, I’ve been listening to various forms of online radio while I work. Shoutcast, Launch, Live365, Last.FM, Pandora, Sirius/XM are a few of the more popular services that I’ve used and I’ve given several others a fair test run. My main source of online radio for the past two years has been through a service called Slacker.
“Slacker is a free personalized radio service featuring over 100 expert-programmed genre stations and the ability to create your own perfect stations. To get started, pick your favorite type of music or search for your favorite artist or song.”
A couple of reasons I prefer this service over all of the others that I’ve tried…
- It’s free, but there is also a cheap, premium service that unlocks more features.
- It has a web player which plays in your browser, but there is also a desktop application, as well as mobile apps for your iPhone or Blackberry.
- Music is cached for uninterrupted music playback. If you’re getting on the subway or the metro with the Slacker G2 or an iPhone or Blackberry running the app, you don’t have to worry about your connection being disrupted.
- Pleny of features that let you fine tune your station, with the best recommendation engine I’ve seen in any service.
- You can share your stations with your friends.
- There is a portable player out called the Slacker G2, which allows you to take your stations with you to the gym or to play in the car.
- If you use Last.FM, there is an app called LastSlacker that will scrobble your songs for you.
Try it out for yourself and send me a link to your station!
