Scott Speaks

Random thoughts from the last week:

• Only in Denver, could a team who toughed out two very tight games with miracle wins, and then lose to who is possibly one of the worst teams in the NFL. And that’s all I’m saying about that. Go Broncos. Please don’t lose to the Bucs on Sunday.
• If you’re ever on United Airlines, Economy Plus is totally worth the money. It was 25 bucks extra for 5 more inches of leg room. Not only that though…but they reserve rows up front for the economy plus…and it wasn’t even remotely full. I had extra legroom and my own row on the way back. Totally comfortable, and makes up for my shitty flight there.
• Jesse Williamson or Williamson Printing is one cool dude. Not only does he know more about printing than anyone should, he’s a major player in the innovation of new printing technologies. Seen the 75th anniversary Esquire magazine? Check it out, the cover uses e-ink and animates itself…that was Jesse. Light up paper is going to make huge strides in the next year or so, and you’re going to see it everywhere. My predition: you’ll be able to print a thin monitor for your computer in the next 5 years. Plus…the dude makes toys and blow-up dolls of himself. Automatic awesome.
• Thank god for the iPhone app store. It kept me entertained for many an hour while in between press checks this week. My latest find: a customizable, scrolling LED banner. Now I really can tell the driver next to me to “Get off your fucking phone and drive.”
• Freebird Burritos is up there with Illegal Pete’s. I don’t know if they’re Texas only, but if you have a chance to get one, I highly recommend it…if nothing else for the delicious queso and the sculptures all over the restaurant made out of tin foil.
• Texans freakin love their Hot Tamales. Pretty much anywhere you were, you could grab a handful from a jar nearby. They even have Texas-sized Tamales, which look like Horse-sized Pills or Anal Pleasuring Devices. Not that I’ve had experience with either…
• They’ve also never heard of Threadless, I guess, as not a day went by that I didn’t hear at least 5 “Hey, I like that shirt.” I suppose they could just be friendly…but I’m gonna go with out of touch.
• I’m jetlagged and tired as hell after a super late night and an early morning checking the press…so that’s all I got. But I got here today damn it. Tune in tomorow for substance. Hopefully.
