NFL Predictions 2009: Super Bowl XLIV

Sport

 

I have never proclaimed to be great picking against the spread or over/under, but generally speaking I tend to be close when it comes to prognosticating. The championship games were a perfect example of why that sometimes has nothing to do with winning imaginary bets. With 9 minutes remaining in the AFC affair, the Colts were leading 20-17. I picked them to win 21-16. With 5 minutes left later on in the NFC tilt, the Saints led 28-21. I had them winning 28-24. Now obviously there was plenty of time for both teams to score more points, but it is also not unheard of for games to go scoreless for long stretches as well. I went from 4-0 against Vegas to 0-4 over those painful final minutes. It was particularly frustrating because it cemented my status as a loser for the season. Against the spread I am now 135-139-3 and on the over/under I stand at 129-132-5. The best I can do is finish up -5. It was sweet to sweep straight up because I rarely pull that off in the title games. I upped my mark to 181-85 (68%).

Sarah Palin is an Idiot

Politic

Ed tries, once again, to illustrate Sarah Palin's imcompetence.  He does so, using logic an objective data.  And yet he will not change a single person's opinion.

We've gotten to the point where the woman could smile and say "I ain't carin' much about you." and crap on the podium, and her worshippers would announce "at least it's better than Obama's crap."

Political support in this country, thanks in large part to Sarah Palin, is now about personality worship, idolatry, and rooting for your "team", rather than considering the issues.

What else should I put it on?

Food

In the last week, I have put the magical combination of Sriracha Chilli sauce & cilantro in or on:

  • Quesadilla
  • Fried Rice
  • Pizza
  • Eggs with veggie sausage
  • Veggie dumpling soup

What else should I put it on, that would be delicous?

When bing makes it a game, I'll list theirs, too...

Sci & Tech

I am a little disappointed, since Google dropped me as an ad publisher.  But praise is due:  they managed to make a game out of improving their picture tagging on  their image search.  You can pair up with a partner, competing to see how quickly you can come up with the same word when looking at a given picture.

Changes in store

Business

Several forces have made me reconsider how Small.to is run:

  • Google revoked my Adsense account
  • The variety of features that made up the site turned out to not be popular.  People come for the stories, and only the stories
  • CMS and blog tools have developed since I first put up the site years ago.
  • Spammers have orchestrated repeated campaigns to taint my referral and stats pool.
  • Facebook became huge

So, here's my thinking:
