Google Tools

If you haven't looked at the plethora of tools from Google it is a good time to check them out. I have to admit that I am a Google Fan, in fact I wish that I would have had the foresight to purchase Google stock with the Student Loan debt I incurred. Then I would have made enough to pay off those student loans.
Anyway, there are many things that can make your online life easier. Here are just a few of the tools that I use: Gmail, Google News, Google Reader, Google Groups, Picasa, Blogger, just to name a few. You can also see what they are working on for the future at Google Labs. Take a look around. These are all intricate parts of my web experience.

More National Boise State Exposure

In the Idaho Statesman (and nationally) the syndicated cartoon Mallard Fillmore is about Boise State and the Fiesta Bowl win. Here it is.

Boise State Vs Oklahoma: Fiesta Bowl 2007 Highlights...I can't stop

Boise States great victory. I keep finding them and can't stop looking for new stuff. What a great week this has been.

Fiesta Bowl thoughts...again

On the way to work I had a thought while listening to a -Fountains of Wayne- song, "All Kinds of Time". The song is about football, and I thought it fit the end of the Fiesta Bowl perfectly. I pictured in my mind scenes from the drama at the end of the game. Here are the lyrics (I added some comments about the scenes that I pictured).

"All Kinds of Time"-Fountains of Wayne

The clock's running down
The team's losing ground
To the opposing defense
The young quarterback
Waits for the snap
When suddenly it all starts to make sense (Zabransky before the 4-18 Hook & Lateral)

He's got all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time (Execution and Hook & Lateral)

He takes a step back
He's under attack
But he knows that no one can touch him now
He seems so at ease
A strange inner peace
Is all that he's feeling somehow (the set up and execution of Perretta's pass to Schouman)

He's got all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time

[Bridge]
He thinks of his mother
He thinks of his bride-to-be (Ian Johnson highlights)
He thinks of his father His two younger brothers (Derek Schouman/ Jared Zabransky highlights)
Gathered around the widescreen TV

He looks to the left
He looks to the right
And there in a golden ray of light (Statue of Liberty execution multi angles)
Is his open man
Just as he planned
The whole world is his tonight (Petersen/ Zabransky/Johnson shots from end of game)

Not sure who has access to some great footage, but it would be cool to see. If you haven't heard the song, listen to it before passing judgment.
GO BRONCOS!

Friends at the Fiesta Bowl!

We knew quite a few people that went to the Fiesta Bowl 2007. So while we were watching the Boise State Victory we kept an eye open for any friends. We saw some of them. Click on the picture to take a look.

Fiesta Bowl Press

The Fiesta Bowl was a hoot! In case you hadn't heard, Boise State not only competed with Oklahoma, they led, came from behind and shocked them in overtime. I thought about what I could write but there has been so much out there I thought I would share what I found. These are in PDF because who knows how long links will work.
