Chris Tolles, our VP of Marketing, hit another interview out of the park. Its things like this that will continue to get the Topix name out there, and help us continue to grow.

"You can also use Topix to search 5,500 public company and industry verticals, 48,000 celebrities and musicians, 1,500 sports teams and personalities. You used to have to pay big money to do a Lexis-Nexis search to get info like this or pay a clipping service like Burrelles. Now anyone can do it for free. Something tells me this is going to be a very big deal."

Full story here.

I've been a Tenacious D fan for a long time.

Since they originally appeared in 10 minute shorts at the end of Mr. Show on HBO.
Since Jerri and I lived in an apartment on Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi.
Since I worked on a Mac 6500.. when that was a brand new machine.
Long before they had a web site.

I haven't seen "The Pick of Destiny" movie yet, but I've been listening to the soundtrack nonstop for about a week. It rocks. So hard. I mean, how can you go wrong with both Meat Loaf AND Ronnie James Dio on one song? You can't. Plus, Dave Grohl plays drums AND the devil, on the album and in the movie. EXPLOSIVO!

Yesterday I played football for the first time in years. Today my body is reminding me why I haven't played football in years. Honestly, its not that bad. I have the previous couple of months worth of basketball to thank for my current conditioning. It proved to be enough as we, the "white" team, beat our gridiron foes, the "blue" team.

Am I complaining about a couple of bruises and sore legs from a flag football game with a bunch of my 30-something pals? Um, no. Not in this house. Jerri ran in a 5K yesterday morning in downtown San Jose. Then she came home and made Thanksgiving dinner, at the same time helping me cheer the Cowboys to a win over Tampa Bay. AND I got a homemade buttermilk pie.

No complaints here, my man.

We miss our families, and this was the first year (in a long while) we've celebrated without them, or friends, around the table. That said, it still turned out to be a very, very good day.
