• Is it just me or are college football games so much more fun to watch than NFL games?  Maybe it’s just that we don’t have a team in L.A., and I don’t really have a favorite team anymore.  I used to be a major Rams fan, but those days are over.  The Chargers-Broncos game was fun to watch.  The Chargers got completely screwed on that late fumble call.  They should have won the game, but now they’re 0-2.
  • I love the new Genius feature on iTunes.  Genius creates a custom playlist for you based on a single song of your choice.  You pick the song and Genius finds other songs that go well with that song.  You can pick 25, 50, 75, or 100 song playlists.  These custom playlists also help you discover songs you didn’t even remember you had on iTunes and also help you rediscover songs you haven’t listened to in a while.
  • Did you hear about the girl who’s auctioning off her virginity to help pay for her masters degree?  She’s hoping the bidding reaches $1 million.  If she gets that much they’ll be a lot of poor guys waiting a little longer to lose theirs.  The story, including a picture of the girl, is HERE.
  • Lastly, on a very serious note, my heart and prayers go out to the people (and their families) who were involved in that terrible Metrolink accident in L.A. on Friday.  I ride the Metrolink to work most days (on a different route) and I can’t imagine the horror they went through.  Stories coming out today say that the engineer driving the train may have been sending text messages (to a group of teenagers he befriended?) just a minute or two before the trains collided.  Despite a little trepidation, I’ll be back on the train tomorrow.  I’m curious to see if ridership is down because of this accident.
