Love this infographic that the NY Times created after the Giants and Packers playoff game. Two changes I’d make:
- Split “Turnovers” into fumbles and interceptions, and
- Add a count for officiating mistakes.

Good perspective on where we stand today with internet-based businesses compared to where we were, and where we might end up. I disagree with the soundbite that I chose to clip, because I think the ad technology industry is at the core of internet innovation for a reason.

Netflix: Add to Queue
I watch both Netflix DVD's and Instant streams, so I'm not a big fan of the two options they give us.
I just want to add a movie to my queue. If it's available on Instant, it should show up in that view. If it's available on DVD, it should show up there as well.
I want one button that Adds to both.

Recurring meetings in Outlook for Mac
I made the switch to OS X in 2009, after years on Windows. 3 months ago, I made a slight boomerang back and dropped Mail.app for Outlook for Mac, because I was sick of the lack of formatting and a few other nuances that made it difficult to work in an Exchange-based company. Today was the first time I needed to create a recurring event in the new Outlook. Here’s a little recap of my experience.
First, I created an event, opened up the Recurrence menu, and chose the “Custom…” option.
This presented me with 4 options: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly.
