Is there anyplace Downtown that will show Barack Obama’s inauguration (preferably with sound) next Tuesday, January 20? The question was raised on my trivia team’s e-mail list this afternoon and I thought I’d ask the readers of my blog. If you know of a place that will be showing it, e-mail me at paul@paulryburn.com and I’ll start a list for a future post. True, the inauguration will be during the day while most people are at work, but thanks to the Bush economy many of us find ourselves laid off and unexpectedly free during daytime hours.
There’s a new Restaurant.com coupon code out today. Code EXCLUSIVE can be entered at checkout to get $25 face-value certificates, normally $10, for only $4. The 60% discount also applies to their Dinner of the Month Club. Over 80 Memphis-area restaurants are part of this program, including more than a dozen of Downtown’s most popular restaurants.
I just finished created College Logo Shopping sites for the ACC schools. Here they are:
- Boston College Eagles
- Clemson Tigers
- Duke Blue Devils
- Florida State Seminoles
- Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
- Maryland Terrapins
- Miami Hurricanes
- North Carolina Tar Heels
- North Carolina State Wolfpack
- Virginia Cavaliers
- Virginia Tech Hokies
- Wake Forest Demon Deacons
As with all my College Logo Shopping Sites, these stores are convenient ways to find all merchandise on Amazon for a particular college. Once you’ve got the items you want in your cart, you’re transferred over to Amazon for their state-of-the-art secure checkout process and shipping options. I never see your name or credit card number, only a notification that an item was purchased and I made commission on it.
Only one BCS conference remaining for me to do – the Pac-10. Glad I’m almost done, because it’s really boring building practically the same site over and over and over. The other work I’m doing, revising the personal finance software, is not the most mentally challenging work either, mostly involving changing date formats and showing and hiding data on spreadsheets. However, both projects may prove financially lucrative down the road, so I’ve got to keep at it. The Pac-10 has some of the biggest name schools in the country – to name a few, UCLA, USC, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, and the university where I’ve always dreamed of doing a Ph.D., California. Those schools should be online by the end of the week, and then I can finally do something different.
Looking forward to a great SMA meeting tonight at Sole, and a Rapscallions victory at trivia afterward.
