MIT Students Fix the Ketchup Bottle

This is amazing! Why wasn’t this the goal originally?

I would also like some other common problems fixed.  Like those three Milk Duds that stick to the bottom of the box.

What would you guys like fixed?  We could submit our problems to MIT for this fall.

Forbes thinks College Grads should Choose901

FORBES is sharing today some news that we in Memphis already knew.

They are ranking Memphis 4th in Nation for Happiest Cities for College Graduates. The cost of living is so low here and the salaries are good, especially in teaching and government jobs. The Financial Institutions play a big factor too.

Sunday Chronicle – 05.20.12

  • Last Monday we celebrated the City Leadership 2012/2013 Residents. Strong crop of young talent. They will be missed.
  • Was asked to Coach MCS Principals this year in Leadership & Management. Trying to figure out how many we can get on the calendar.
  • Charis graduated Kindergarten. Man they get old quick.
  • Rob Thompson is a stud. I love what he is doing for MCUTS and for Memphis.
  • If you know anyone interested in teaching, you have to tell them about the Memphis Teacher Residency.
  • I will compete in the Memphis in May BBQFest at some point in the future. #BucketList – Until then I will go every year. So fun.  Thanks Scott!
  • Met a talented young man from Missouri on Friday. Looks like he is going to Choose901.
  • Got to explain the difference between Opportunity & Ownership to Intervarsity on Friday. Does your organization know the difference?
  • The Miranda Lambert concert was really fun. (Yes, I said that publicly)
  • The Wilco Concert was very impressive. 26 songs in a little over 2 hours. Two 5 song Encores! Yes, the allusive Double Encore!

Memphis In May

I love Memphis in May.

The weather is so great. So much fun is happening in the city. Kids getting out of school. City Leadership wraps up a year and starts into another one.

I love this city, but every May Memphis reminds me that it loves me too!

Uncle Drew

This is great. Kyle Irving, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, but 50 years of make-up on and plays a pick up game in New Jersey.

His make-up is amazing. I am sure it was not super believable with cameras around and people only allowing Pepsi to be drunk by the models watching the game.

But a lot of fun none the less. It would be great to hide cameras and really catch this all over.

I want to see Agassi and Sampras dress up like they are 80 and  kill some young dudes at the local tennis club.

Thanks for sharing Herman.

Pastor Fashion

I really, really, really wish this website was a joke.

Like an Improv Everywhere kind of joke.

But I hate to say, Ed Young seems very serious about Fashion, Style, and the Proper Shirt Collar.

What you think? Is this a problem you were hoping a pastor would solve?
