Hamsterdam Couldn't Have Done It Without Roger

Although Don Draper gets all the press, Hamsterdam is here to remind you that Roger Sterling is awesome, and John Slattery deserves more roles. Also, Mad Men has nearly returned to us, you guys. Here's your thread for the early portion of the week. Enjoy, and mind the rules.

Star-divide

We're up again. OSU is currently kicking a down Bruce Weber in the head (ESPN) and Northwestern is about to start losing to Michigan (BTN). Also, Justified at 9 CT.

I am watching Deadliest Warrior on Netflix

it is terrible but somehow still entertaining.

I never got into Deadliest Warrior.

It’s probably easier to watch with Netflix instantly streaming the episodes in rapid succession.

Even with the commercials taken out it is a pretty slow show to watch. It seems like it is a 30 minute show stretched into an hour.

and my dream is to break into the video game industry. So orchestral, soundtrack-y stuff that would fit in a video game or movie. I’m looking at some youtube videos of fan-made soundtracks for Skyrim in particular.

I’m not really interested in writing any rock/jazz/pop music.

I have watched large chunks of both via netflix but am not caught up on either of them. To be honest I started to lose interest in Breaking Bad a bit. That was not the case for Mad Men. I just got too busy to watch for a month or so and then never went back to it.

I agree.

The Starz stuff is leaving because they couldn’t reach an agreement with Netflix on a fee for their new deal. They felt like they were getting shorted on their old deal.

Maybe they were, but I think they’d be better off making SOME money on a solid, legitimate option than making no money off piracy.

Right now it is, yeah.

It’s out on DVD/Blu Ray next week and should be on iTunes then too.

I agree, though, that it’s pretty short-sighted not to have it available now. Or, really, at every point since it first aired last year. I understand they want to leverage their subscription fees, but not making it available legally is leaving money on the table and driving people to piracy.

Yeah, that's the one I'm referencing

The three big changes I’ve seen:
1) the easy streaming
2) merging everything to look/feel more like iPhone/iPad
3) much more in the cloud, for instance any memo you put on one device syncs wirelessly with all others. Shopping lists would be excellent for this.

I love the iPhoto / iCloud integration.

The cloud still scares me a little

maybe because I’m old. But partially because I have 500+ cds worth of music legally purchased that I’m not sure how long/easily it will take to update, plus the fact that I used to rip them to whatever computer I wanted (i.e. my wife’s). I fear not being able to put them on my kid’s computer if I want.
I don’t know if it’s a rational fear or not.
Plus, I still don’t really care for iTunes. It’s like Excel, powerful, but really frustrating if you can’t make it do what you want.

If you kick your fear and want access to your music from anywhere, Google offers a limitless (as far as I can tell) cloud.

Music.Google.com.

Sign into your gmail account from any computer on the planet and it’s all there. I’ve currently got 5700 songs on the cloud, and since I use iTunes, anything added to my library from music to podcasts is automatically uploaded for me to access wherever I want.

I'm using iTunes' Match feature

It identifies all of my songs, and rather than uploading them to the cloud (which would take hours if not days) it gives me access to all matched songs anywhere, anytime (that I have wifi). The songs it can’t match it then uploads.

I’m a fan. And it’s cheaper than Google’s cloud music option.

Interesting

Found out today ISU hired Todd Sturdy as their new WR coach. He used to coach St. Ambrose. He was a great coach at Ambrose and led them to multiple NAIA playoff berths. Post Ambrose he was much less successful at Washington State, and let go with the hire of Leach. Nobody cares so I’ll get back to priming my living room.

SAU grad here.

The team was a multiple-time defending conference champ at the start of my time there. They had two guys break the WR records in consecutive years..much like DJK and McNutt, honestly. And I personally know the two guys, so that’s nice.

End up playing quarterback the next year due to no other option? And IIRC he did quite well there to. Magistrelli (sp?) is pretty much doing the same thing Sturdy did. I played one year under Sturdy, great man, great coach. Football and chemistry major did not go together. The degree won out.

Correct.

It was Mike Hayward. He went back and forth a couple times, and ended up spending about the same amount of time at WR that McNutt did. And good enough…what year did you graduate?

Oh, nice, then I can ask: What about a Pro Bowl jersey is more enticing than the standard jersey?

I understand wanting to wear a jersey to support a favorite player, but why wear one that’s incredibly ugly? Is it simply because you already own the regular shirt and want to add to the collection?

by The Mexican't on Feb 21, 2012 10:29 AM CST up reply actions  

My feeling is since I'll be going to the actual Pro Bowl "game",

it’s ok to buy the jersey. It would be a nice addition to my jersey collection (although one I likely would never wear again!). I think of it as a souvenier. I guess a pro bowl t-shirt would accomplish the same objective and that’s something I might do if the jerseys are uglier than normal.

It’s in Wisconsin (sorry) but it’s only accessible via boat or plane, has good farmland (wheat & grapes, currently) & a golf course & is sparsely populated. Just head for Green Bay, hang a right into Door County & keep driving till you run out of road. How you get from the mainland to ‘The Island’ will be part of the fun!
