Like most Americans, I had the full intention of watching the inauguration proceedings of our 44th President, Barack H Obama (nice move on the H, publicist) by way of the internets. However, in what I can only assume is one in a growing series of conspiracies against me, I couldn’t get any video players to work without brutal lag time. Everywhere.

What’s that? You’re so fascinated by this story you want some details? Well ok…

Last week I popped in my local neighborhood Arby’s to pick up a delightful lunch. As I was walking in, I saw a sign in the window advertising 5 regular roast beef sandwiches for $5.49 (or something close). As a pretty savvy investor I realized what an amazing deal that was. The sandwiches are good cold so I can just pop ‘em in the work fridge and I have an easy cheap lunch option for the week. Done and Done.

In this installment of Chicago vs LA, Chris and John will argue the outcome of the ACC Championship that is to take place on Dec 6. Before you start penning your hate letters decrying this as not a “Chicago vs LA thing!” please note that Chris went to Virginia Tech and John went to Boston College, the two teams meeting for the title. This will be the second year in a row that the teams will meet to decide who goes to Orange Bowl with Virginia Tech winning last year’s game 30-16. BC has won the regular season match-ups the last two years and Vegas has the line as Even. So who will win this clash of Big East turned ACC rivals? You decide…

Apparently the folks at Cha Cha are an ethical bunch.

Let me set the scene… I was having a friendly conversation with the Alchemy team and somehow the topic of Key Lime pie came up (as is often the case). This is the dialogue that followed:

Last night I was trying to track some NHL games via my mobile internet and went to NHL.com to get some scores. The amazing thing is, the NHL didn’t automatically send me to a mobile site. After a few minutes and a gradually rising eyebrow, it just dropped me off on a beat up version of their website. Maybe they have one that the iPhone doesn’t automatically send you to it but I stood looking at my phone with a face as though I had just gotten an e-mail saying “the entire royal family has been electrocuted and you are the rightful heir to the throne”, a la King Ralph. Side note for anyone who doesn’t think product placement works, I remember these things from King Ralph: The family being electrocuted during a picture, Ralph sneezing and his crown falling into the bathtub, Ralph bowling, and Burger King. As an added note, thinking about this is making me crave a Whopper.
