Via @Neatorama -- The Pope digs texting (and other...

5. The Pope Likes to Text Message Pope Benedict XVI routinely sends text messages of his homilies to mobile subscribers around the world, and in 2009, the Vatican opened up an official YouTube channel to show various Papal addresses and ceremonies. The Vatican even released an iPhone application that contains multilingual versions of the Breviary prayer book and the prayers of daily mass. But the...

How to be EVEN MORE interesting in 11 simple steps

I stumbled upon (ironically via @wjarch, and not StumbleUpon) this really great article in Forbes yesterday that outlined 10 “stupid-simple” ways to be interesting. I liked where it was headed, but wanted to expand on Jessica’s pointers a bit. Here are some of my own thoughts on the topic. Buy a puggle. Name it “Drizzy Drake.” Nothing says “I’m super...

17 Things I Did in 2011

What an awesome year. 1. Ran two marathons — my two fastest to date. Set my PR at 3:15:52 and nearly broke it on a tough New York City course. Also ran a personal best half marathon (1:34). 2. Jumped into the Atlantic Ocean on Jan. 1. 3. Planked on a lot of things. Tebowed even more than that. 4. Five bar crawls. 5. Celebrated Halloween. Four times. 6. Attended seven Yankee games...

Notre Dame handed Florida State a bowl game win --...

Well, my beloved Irish lost today in fine fashion. Our “quarterback” Tommy Rees was of no assistance, throwing two picks in our own endzone to seal our eventual 18-14 defeat. All was not lost, however, as I scoured Twitter to uncover some comedy in the tragedy. Here are the best postgame Tommy Rees tweets. celebrityhottub: If Robert Griffin III is Superman, Tommy Rees is Jubilee. ...

This is an actual comment left on SongMeanings.net by the user ‘killah.’ it’s rare that song lyrics stand out to me, but this song immediately grabbed my attention. This “person A” was feeling lost and confused, for whatever reason, and is singing about “person B”, who saved them from heading down a dangerous path. I think there is something keeping them...

7 Little Things That Make Life Effortless

1. Do less. This is my productivity mantra, and it’s counterintuitive. I actually don’t believe in productivity, but instead believe in doing the important things. Do less, and you’ll force yourself to choose between what’s just busywork, and what really matters. Life then becomes effortless, as you accomplish big things while being less busy. 2. Having less is lighter. Start asking yourself if...

A great YouTube find + 7 great things about it

I was trying to find an acoustic version of Manchester Orchestra’s “I’ve Got Friends” and I somehow stumbled upon this gem. How this clip has less than 2K views is beyond me. 1. Kid in the middle. Everything about this kid. He’s like the 21st Century version of Jerry O’Connell in ‘Stand by Me.’ 2. The cut-off tee. YES. 3. Confused-as-F Kid at...

The Best Tony Romo Tweets of the Past 24 Hours

There’s really nothing better than reading through Twitter conversations immediately after a public figure makes an epic fail. I first realized this earlier this summer when the Heat choked in the NBA finals and Chris Bosh proceeded to cry like “Tre from Boyz ‘N the Hood.” That said, you can imagine my delight when Tony Romo lost the game for the Cowboys last night [see...

You might recognize this woman from the 1986 Bon Jovi “Slippery When Wet Tour,” patiently waiting outside of the tour bus for a shot at Richie Sambora. Several years - and trips to Burger King - later, she emerged from obscurity to crash my family’s clambake. God bless her and God bless alcohol.
