With conference realignment furor in full swing again, I have to wonder why no one has harnessed the fan and media interest for good effect. If I was running a large conference — I wouldn’t have static divisions, but I’d rebalance every year in the middle of the offseason. Yes it could be a scheduling pain in the ass but we have software to manage that. The key point is to create a positive planned offseason media event that fans could look forward to and that would create some valuable media content — a full week of BTN or other network shows could be built around the realignment announcement and discussion. Realignment across conferences would be even more fun but is politically contentious.
It is dumb to not tap into the fan interest around alignment, the schools are leaving money on the table. And to be a little manipulative — better to have the press focusing on positive topics like realignment during the offseason, rather than digging around for scandals.

“It did good work on the collapse of Bear Stearns a year ago, but for the most part it has done a mediocre job of explaining all that has gone wrong with our economic system.” — I’d have to agree, the Journal is not getting it done for me increasingly. Instead they are wasting pages on crappy sports coverage, movie/book reviews, etc. I can get all that content elsewhere.

Sound & Vision Magazine – Ask The Expert: Cable Length Limits. Here is one article that suggests 6M is the max usable without getting funky. Trying to do a media room config and need to know this stuff. No obvious answer I can find for displayport but I bet it is similar.

Adrants: Oprah Show One Big Car Commercial — if you didn’t see this show, it is worth finding it on someone’s tivo (or finding a torrent) and watching it. The audience reaction was just incredible.

Shrek2. Entertaining but not as good as the first one. The minor characters drawn from fairy tales are hilarious — puss n boots, pinocchio. But too much screen time for the king and fairy godmother, who just aren’t that funny.
Troy. Hector the role, and Eric Bana as Hector were great. But somehow the movie felt fatiguing, I was glad when it was over.
Day after tomorrow. A blast. So what if the science is probably crap. And the political manipulation ham-handed. Probably due to my fly-over country upbringing, there is just something glorious about seeing LA trashed by tornados and NYC swamped and frozen.
