No E-Mail Day: August 31, 2006

This August 31st, put down email for a day: http://www.noemailday.com/

The idea is that while email is great (some of us made a career out of it), we've forgotten when or how to speak directly to each other.  Who hasn't used email to avoid having to look someone in the eye or even to cover your backside?

Let's rediscover, just for one day, what happens when we talk to each other rather than letting our keyboards be our voice.  But go ahed and pass this on using your keyboard ;)

Full disclosure: http://www.noemailday.com/ was created by my boss, Jay Graves.  But it really is a good idea.

New Billy Joel CD

So what if it's the same old stuff?  That's what Billy Joel fans want, and that's what we're getting with the Piano Man's new CD. It's a compilation of live concerts recorded at Madison Square Garden.

Hey Billy, please bring this tour to Nashville!

Preds Audio Archive: A PP Goal

"I don't know what it is about those Predators scoring, but I like it, I love it, I want some more of it."

On Thursday, March 2, 2006, Nashville defeated the Vancouver Canucks in another step towards their NHL leading 32 home wins in the 05-06 season.

Straight out of the vault, here's an audio record of Yanic Perreault's power play goal at 17:01 of the second period.  Nashville scored twice more to beat the Canucks 3-1: Download preds_goal.wav

What will Google think of next?

Micropersuasion brought this Google Labs application to my attention and I I found it addicting:

Google Trends: http://www.google.com/trends

-Pepsi is WAY more popular in India than Coke - but that's true in few other places.

-Germans made more "Memphis" searches than "Nashville" searches.

This could suck down quite a bit of time.
