The New Orlean Saints

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and their Super Bowl Victory. Drew Brees is a true leader and he is well deserving of this victory. They played like a team and never let up. Not even while trailing early.
It was a great game and you couldn’t ask for a better match up.

ALABAMA TEAM PICTURE!

Google Nexus One

It’s here!  We are so excited for this release of the new google phone.  Some are calling it the iphone killer.  I really like the interface and its a great look.  The key that I feel will be the success of this phone is that while it is being carried on the Tmobile network , we as consumers can buy an unlocked GSM version that can be used on any network.  And I am even more excited that Google is in talks with Verizon to finalize a version for that specific network.

Have you tried it out yet?  What did you think.  I highly reccommend this device and want you all to check it out here.  Google has created a fun way to evaluate and view the phone and its amenities.

Next time you’re near a Tmobile store stop by and check out the Google Nexus One.

Top Five Christmas gifts I gave this year…Did you do better?

Here are my five favorite gifts I gave this year.  Thought I would share them with you all and where I found them. After considering buying them all for myself I decided it would be even funnier to send them to those closest to me.

Mom

Well this wasn’t too hard.  How could I not give her the greatest novelty t-shirt gift of the year….

Sister One

She always gave me a hard time for making her watch Star Wars.  So naturally I felt inclined when I saw this to purchase it immediately. How awesome is that.  Sleeping in the belly of the beast!

The Youngest Sister

She likes to pretend that she is tough.  Now she can show it.  I might add that to my list next year!

The Best Friend

He’s a Simpson fan.  This belongs on his wall. Freaking great poster.  If only my wife would let me decorate the living room.
