Over the past few months, I’ve found myself in desperate anticipation of the next episode of the podcast, You Look Nice Today. There have been 12 episodes so far, each about 30-40 minutes long. And so far the best way that I can describe it is:
Three guys discuss awkward moments and bathroom humor, with a Masters degree.
You can listen right from the website or you can subscribe in iTunes.
What also makes this special is the community that is forming around some of the wonderful topics discussed on the show. So they have setup ways for fans to share with each other.
You might want check to see what the Jobbo says about your career path or post a video of you doing the new dance craze (the fishstick), but definitely listen to You Look Nice Today.
(Looking forward to the opening of the new restaurant in Butte, MT.)

The Inquirer ran a one-day campaign to prove a point: print advertising still works.
The piece was seriously hysterical and I had fun sharing it. But you wouldn’t believe the letters to the editor in the Inquirer. People really need to lighten up.
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)

When opening the Philadelphia Inquirer yesterday (actually, my wife saw it, I rarely open an actual newspaper), I saw a full page advertisement for Derrie-Air. So I went to their website to learn more:
Mission Statement
Derrie-Air is the world’s first carbon-neutral luxury airline. We will offer our passengers the finest luxury experience in all the world’s skies and the freedom to enjoy it with a clear conscience.
As it turns out, they will base the rates on the weight of the passenger and baggage! Only $2.25/lb. from Philadelphia to Los Angeles!
And I was amazed by the available amenities!
What amenities will your jets offer?
First of all there will be no class distinctions inside of a Derrie-Air jet. Every passenger will be treated like royalty. Every seat will be first class. There will simply be too many extras and treats on our flights to list here, but highlights will include: gorgeous air hosts and hostesses, golden-age Rat Pack films, top-shelf vodka Martinis, on-demand video blackjack, spacious private washrooms outfitted with porcelain fixtures and gilded faucets, gourmet snacks, on-board masseuses, loofah scrubs and, of course, digital cable!
Please note that this was a joke, although there actually was a full-page ad in the Philadelphia Inquirer and there is a website, although there is a note at the bottom to let you know that it isn’t real. Quite a bit of fun though.
So what would you do if this was real? Post your comments below…

It is news like this that really brings it home, but if you are ever elected for a position that includes a residence, you may want to read this article…
I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.
Ahh… the story of a boy expressing his undying loyalty for Brett Farve through apparel.
But when the man retires, so too does the shirt get retired. That will teach you Mr. Farve for breaking this boy’s heart.
I can only imagine it fitting that when the Green Bay Packers organization retire Brett’s number, they will have this kid sing the national anthem or something.
Becky was at one time obsessed with a yellow Wiggles shirt when she was three. We bought four of them to avoid temper tantrums. It was only a six-month phase. No need to notify the press.
