Coyote Tracks: The Emperor's New Antenna →
So I’ve been thinking about “Antennagate.” First thought: stop fucking calling every scandal “-gate,” for Christ’s sake.
Next thought: so what’s the scoop here? Biggest problem in the history of all of mobile phones, or minor issue blown way out of proportion by the tech media? Neither, of…

Simmons Mailbag #2
Q: You missed one thing at the NBA Draft that only a hypersensitive Seattleite still mourning the loss of the Sonics would catch: Kevin Durant was seated in section 206 at last night’s draft. 206 is Seattle’s area code. Kill me now.
— Ben, Seattle
SG: Remember, Cavs fans — things could be worse. You could live in Seattle.
Or you could live in Vancouver. We lost the...
Simmons Mailbag
Q: Have you ever seen who Chris Johnson follows on Twitter? It’s rapper The Game, ESPN’s Michael Smith and an unreal slew of hoochies. Roger Goodell should monitor who his players follow on Twitter and use it as an algorithm to predict who he will have to suspend for six games in future years.— Eric A., New York
SG: I like it! Sounds like a presentation for the next Sloan...

I’m avoiding the entire iPhone/Android app route no matter how popular it is right now for a few reasons.

A few quotable’s but a very worthy read.
In 2008 there were 17,000 releases that sold one copy. Last year, there were 18,000, and something like 79,000 releases that sold under 100 copies. Under 100 copies is not a real release — it’s noise, an aberration. In any kind of scientific study, it would be filtered out. It’s like a rounding error. That 79,000 number represents almost 80 percent...
Easy come, easy go for King James
Can’t deny how great it will be as an NBA fan to watch them play together but…Lebron as a player lost in my eyes. Which is why I won’t root for the Heat. Some worthy articles to read below.

There had to be an agenda, a bait-and-switch, and yet source after source within LeBron’s world insisted: He’s...
