Strikeforce: Miami and other notes.

February 1st, 2010

Strikeforce: Miami was last night.  I’m not going to yammer on about who won vs. who should’ve won each fight.  However, I’ve noticed how MMA in the US is missing the pageantry of overseas promotions.  I was reminded of this whilst watching Strikeforce’s sad, sad, pyro for each introduction.  They might as well just do it UFC style and follow the fighter from the tunnel and focus on music selection.

How I long for the introductions of Pride events past and current Dream events.

Moving on.  I’ve had a recent deluge of creativity and I’m going to have to start milking some of these metaphorical cows soon.  It sounds easy.  All I have to do now is make it look easy. :-]

Apple knows that they have a flock of sheep. iPad is a direct acronym for Paid.

Another worthy addition to the Playlist for Life.  I’ve decided to start numbering these.  I still have trouble listening to this song only one time.  I keep the dance safely ensconced within my head. :-]

I find it quite difficult to maintain a bad mood when this song is played.  You should all have this on your Playlist for Life.

Here’s an interesting little read for gamers and sports types.  It’s crazy how a generation that grew up gaming has used the technology as a method of learning and implemented techiniques in real life situations.

I know that Stokely pulled the stunt mid-season, but it also covers other interesting instances of videogame and sport convergence.
