• The Giants sure are giving the Patriots a game. Hopefully the Pats will make some halftime adjustments and pull away. Opening drive is key. #
• Arrrgh. Well that sucked. Congrats to the Giants. You deserved the win. Guess we’ll have to wait till next year. Go Patriots. #

Wow, what a game. I was rooting for the Patriots and was so bummed when they lost. It is just surreal. Going 18-0. Then losing the Super Bowl. Oh well. Congratulations G-Men.

I will still root for the Patriots however.

I tweeted about Sarah Silverman singing the song “I’m f’ing Matt Damon” on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday. While one can describe it as f’n hilarious. It’s best seen than described. So here it is.

ESPN tells a great story about a young Tom Brady practicing the Dot Drill in his family’s garage so that he can improve himself so that he can play college football. The drill worked and he got into Michigan.

In a 3-by-2-foot box, with five dots arranged as you would find them on dice, he works through five simple drills: both feet forward then back, around the perimeter, the left foot first and then the right in a figure-eight pattern, a two-footed bunny hop all the way around, always facing forward and, finally, the bunny hop with a 180-degree hopscotch twist to bring it home.

Intrigued, I went looking for a description of the dot drill. While I definitely won’t be the next Tom Brady, it should help in my endeavor to get into better shape.

I just joined the One of a Kind group in Flickr. They’ve got a cool game of “eye spy” going on right now. The object of the game is to view the photo in the last posted message and single out an element of your choice. Then you go within your Flickr photos, and post a message with that element.

To see the last message, go to the bottom of the page and click on the last number you see. Have fun.

Flickr is a great site with many many great photos and photographers. What is especially nice is that some photographers choose to license their photos under a creative commons license. This Flickr page has a nice explanation about creative commons licensed photos.

If you want to search for creative commons licensed photos, go to the advanced search page on Flickr, then scroll down to the bottom and select “only search within Creative Commons-licensed photos.” Once selected, you can find content that you can use commercially (with proper attribution).

For example, I found this great shot called Surfer at Fort Point by Flickr user Dawn Endico. She licensed the photo under Creative Common’s Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license.
