The iDontcareanymorefornow

Ok, I'm a techno junkie like many of you, but I don't spendtons of money on gadgets. They must have a practical and useful purpose (as opposed to just being pretty), so with all the Apple iPhone madness this week, I'm just about as tired as can be on the device and the marketing hype that Apple created and then spawned into the world. I'll make up my mind once I can pick the unit up and play with it. Until then, I'm of the mind of iCouldcareless. My mind, though, reserves the right to change. And, it probably will, but for now, I've had it up to here (raises hand to head) with the iPhone.

Seinfeld's still got it

The guy is 53 and living handsomely off royalties of various Seinfeld stuff from the long-running (and unbelievably popular) "Seinfeld" sitcom that ended in 1998 on top of the TV world. Yet, he still continues to tour and do stand-up and he's as good as he ever was. Count him in at age 53 (he's still got it) and George Carlin (he's still got it at 71) and he's just a great act in person. Most of Oklahoma City showed up last night at his performance here and were treated to a very good 90-minute show. Did I see a bead of sweat? Not one -- and he's still as funny as hell. Thanks for the awesome seats, Jaime!

Wal-Mart in person

Holy cow -- I've never been to a Wal-Mart annual shareholder meeting before (although I've covered them from live webcasts). The actual event, which I traveled to Bentonville for this past week, was more like a circus and entertainment venue that a shareholder meeting. Pretty neat stuff to see in person, and even better with full media passes to some great seats and up-close coverage. Whew though, the thing began at 7:00am and I was outta the hotel to be first (or 2,000th) in line at 6:15am. Man, they start these things early. Catch my mind-blowing four-hour coverage here.
