So, they finally did it. With the success of American Idol, they decided to make a Latin American Idol. They’ll be coming to Mexico City on April 19 and 20, along with stops in Caracas, Bogota, and Buenos Aires. It should be interesting. Do you think I should enter? Anyone who’s ever heard me sing is screaming, “NO!” It should make for some good TV, though. Maybe I could be the Latin American William Hung. I hope the winner is Mexican.
March Madness is consuming me. I remember March Madness when I was growing up, filling out the brackets, and watching basketball all day. Living in Mexico, it has been a little different because they don’t cover as many games as they do in the States. But this year, they’ve rolled out this thing called March Madness on Demand. They are streaming every game of the first few rounds. So, we hooked up the computer to a projector and projected the games on the wall yesterday. It was awesome, baby! (Dick Vital reference). It’s a great service…you should check it out. Don’t worry, it is in no way affecting my work.
If you click the picture, it will take you to the Flickr picture with notes explaining everything on the desk. Or, you could watch the video of me explaining it here.

Every year, I get March Madness brackets, fill them out, and then spend a few weeks on the couch watching the tournament. Of course, being a Duke fan, I always pick them to win. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t pick them. I think I’ve been doing this for more than 15 years now.
Living in Mexico has made it a little difficult to follow the tournament, but there’s a new thing out that makes it possible to watch online all of the opening round games. I’m looking forward to that, and the coverage on ESPN should be okay in the later rounds. Or, I could always download the games on iTunes.
This ad is for a “new remodeling pant” they are selling in Mexico. I had to pick up a flyer when I saw it and put it up here for all to enjoy. Here goes the translation (working from the left part down and starting again on the right):
Dare to lift them!! (in the red part)
Lift. Firm. Remold. (at bottom)
Banner (right side): Transform yourself instantly.
The 5th episode of “24” just started here last night. We watched a sneak preview of it the week before, but we’re glad it’s finally out here. So, in honor of that, I wanted to post this cartoon I saw. (via: Marko) Click it if you want to see it bigger.
