My thoughts on..
Action: A resurgence of Stanford basketball this season and the Johnny Dawkins era
My Reaction: There's a good shot that Stanford will make the NCAAs, even after losing three in a row and falling short against Colorado this past weekend. To Dawkins' credit, Stanford beat Connecticut on the road and four top-50 win teams. But can anyone be convinced that Dawkins can lead this team to the sweet 16? I sure can't. It's been a frustrating 6 years for a program that's been highly respectable under Mike Montgomery and Trent Johnson. 2008 was the last year Stanford has been to the big dance and Dawkins is the one to blame for that.
Action: EDC Las Vegas 2014 tickets have sold out
My reaction: There's been a general consensus out there that EDM is fading away, but due to this report- quite the contrary. An increase in ticket prices and the declining economy have not stopped fans from pulling the trigger on this once-a-year Vegas extravaganza. Although the EDM lifestyle has slowed quite a bit in the bay area, it's still as popular as ever. How long will it last? My prediction- a few more years before the main-stream music festivals shut down for good. We're one unfortunate circumstance away from seeing the end of 'Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat' in the foreseeable future.
Action: I saw this tweet from my buddy this past Sunday: "@cylusballin Just watched a guy lose 12k while grading algebra papers. Good thing teachers make 70k a year in California. #1/6"
My reaction: It's okay to lose about 6% of your salary at the poker tables in one session, but let's keep the math homework where it belongs- at home.
Action: Daylight savings time sweeping the nation
My reaction: We've been told Daylight savings conserves energy during the Spring and Summer time. Retail stores love it as customers stay out at the shopping centers longer. TV ratings and movie theaters hate it as people explore and enjoy nature during this time. I, for one, love it. Why don't we just leave it like this all year 'round?
Action: It's old news now but House of Cards released season 2 in spectacular fashion
My reaction: Netflix has done well with House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. If I didn't know then, I know now: Kevin Spacey is one heck of an actor. I thought he was good, but not THIS good. Netflix's decision on releasing all the episodes for the season was a positive move for the popular streaming provider.
