Favre Who?

(Update: 3:30PM — Version 2.0; A newer, cleaner design but still a ways to go)

————————–

I know it’s only the preseason, but after watching the Packers preseason game rout against the Colts last night, I can’t help but to be very, very, very, very, very excited about the prospects of Aaron Rodgers [...]

I’m slowly refining and updating this site. Trying to make it more comprehensive and deeper than just a blog. Tonight, I’ve roughly started to update my Photo Gallery, the Wahl of Fame, Wahl-Mart, and have also recently added a page with some basic links to my music from Pandora. And I’ve even just created [...]

Water Cooler Economics

By Wahl, on August 22, 2010, at 10:48 pm | 2 comments

While trying to recover from yesterday’s House Boat party, I came across a number of interesting economic articles that probably will make good water cooler talk with your coworkers this week.

1. Fashion designers don’t want Snooki, of Jersey Shore fame, to be associated with their brands. So, they are sending their competitor’s bags [...]

100% Annoying

My mom is a big fan of Sun Chips. They are her go-to chips. For nearly the last year, Sun Chips come in a 100% compostable “green” bag — that is as loud as hell. Have you ever been around one of these bags? It’s ridiculous. Her cat usually runs scared to the other [...]

For Sale By Owner

On and off for the last couple of weeks, including pretty much this entire past weekend, I have been building a website for my parents to sell their home. I don’t know a lick of HTML, so it made things a little tricky, but I’ve learned enough about website design and manipulation from [...]

Longer. Deeper. And Flat at the Bottom.

New unemployment numbers are out today. A quick recap from Calculated Risk:

Longer. Deeper. And flat at the bottom. Unfortunately that describes the 2007 employment recession.

This graph shows the job losses from the start of the employment recession, in percentage terms – this time aligned at the bottom of the recession (Both [...]

A Little Perspective

The oil spill in the Gulf has been stopped, at least for now. That’s a good thing. And I understand it’s a terrible environmental disaster.

Shrimp, fish, and other aquatic animals we can’t see, are probably devastated. But more often than not, the coverage on CNN is of oil-soaked birds either dead [...]

Disclaimer: This is someone else’s awful Photoshop job, not mine.

We haven’t seen this big of a circle jerk by an athlete ever since Favre gave us the run around two years ago, last year, this year. I bet Brett is happy LeBron is settling this whole matter tonight so that he can [...]

So, Yeah.

There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood is one of my favorite movies to have come out in the last few years. I’ve watched it three times and come away with a different take each time I watch. It’s a complex epic, but the basic premise? An early 20th century oil man will stop at nothing to [...]
