See That Funny 2D Barcode In The Store Window? It Might Pull Up A Google Listing. - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...
Don't know why QR codes seem to be all the rage. Still think SMS has broadest appeal and is ubiquitous.

Yep. Cast off on Thursday. He’s still walking funny, but otherwise all is well.

MOG Launches All Access, Sets New Standard For Online Music - http://www.techcrunch.com/2009...

Steve wanted to thank those of you who shared your stories and comments during the recent Starbucks Giveaway Contest we held on BevReview.com. We were just notified that we were one of the TOP 3 sites for number of comments related to the contest... and as such, get a little something as well. Thanks again!
Congratulations Steve! And since none of the other top 3 were beverage related sites, I think that's a win by any standard.
- Mark Smithivas
Each site was given control of how to run their individual contests, as long as it had somewhat of an "office/goofing off" type theme. Looking back, our criteria was probably a lot harder than other sites (i.e. "Post a website you visit when you don't feel like working"... seriously?) So it's kinda cool that we were still able to pull it off.

Busy weekend meant no play time with the new FB...and I don't have the patience to navigate it today. Anyone have highlights?
In short, there are 2 versions of news feed now. Realtime, and a "best of" version w/events and more

Has anyone noticed that local businesses now appear directly on Google Maps? I bet some awesome mobile app to follow
Those little red dots? Yeah I'm seeing them now too. Interesting.
- Matt Thommes
They also appear as grey names overlaid on the map. You may have to zoom in a bit.

@mrdankelly - I say No to Chicago Olympics. Beer drinking Olympics, definitely.
I'll drink to that. btw, doesn't Daley remind you of the Leader in V for Vendetta?

I figured it was better to remove the account, than leave it dormant and following no one - some might see it as I unfollowed them, and take it the wrong way. :-)

From what the site says, it sounds like the $25 donation will go to the city of Chicago, which is as you know run by Emperor Daley. He'll probably put that into the Chicago 2016 fund, with nary a dime going to an actual school.
- Mark Smithivas
If you connect the dots, most all goes thru him in this city anyway, but the audit trail never goes to him! It is also running in other cities, so there is always hope...

Jim Tressel doesn't give us much to work with humor-wise. Why can't he pull a Hogan or an Orgeron with that sweater vest?

Tressel is humor-less. .LOLz

So where's the FF thread on the surprisingly close Alabama/FIU game? Would it be poor form for me to share some of that in here?

It was 14-13 FIU at one point, then Bama managed to miss the PAT

Now that OSU is impressing me with their chance to win I am not sure which I would be more irritated to see go undefeated. Does either team have a conference championship game?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
...against that I-AA juggernaut, Jack State!

Daniel ...no Pac10 or Big10 conf. championship games
- .LAG liked that
...missed opportunity for OSU, not doing anything with that INT. as a Pac-10 fan, if I've seen it once, I've seen it several dozen times: no one adjusts better in the second half than SC... the Buckeyes have to cash in every SC mistake now!!!!
- .LAG liked that
Sorry as an SEC fan I get irritated at the idea of anyone making it into the BCS championship game without having to play a conference championship :P

Is there a reason unhurt players might wait to be helped up by a friend? That last guy appeared to lay on the turf for a good while scanning frantically for the helping hand to pull him up. Are they worried they will get stepped on if they put a hand on the turf or what?
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Daniel... nah, I just think it's a "team" thing... help your teammates to their feet, bond...
- .LAG liked that
I figure that's usually the case, this guy on the ground just seemed like he was going to wait all day until he got the lift. Probably nothing...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
...holding OSU to a FG is a win for SC. what's with the no-socks on the Buckeye kicker
- .LAG liked that
Maybe his lack of socks gives him power just like awesome hair does for the islanders chasing him down...

RAP ...or it's enough to lose on a fluke TD at the end... .LOLz

Daniel ...I just think most kickers on most football teams are just, well, weird

One thing is clear: the "team speed" argument is moot in this game... OSU is just as fast as SC tonight

Tough loss just like the Texas game was. No need to bag on OSU for losing by less than a TD to a top 5 school in either case.
