It's Thinc Iowa week! We (at Silicon Prairie News) have been working on producing what is known Thinc Iowa for over a year and it's finally here. Check out the website (put together awesomely by Performance Marketing) at thinciowa.com.
Sunday, October 16, 2011 at 6:16PM The professional sports world lost a good one today in IZOD IndyCar Driver Dan Wheldon. Dan died from unrecoverable injuries sustained in the worst crash I’ve seen since we started following IndyCar about seven years ago. In a race that was supposed to feature a dual for the championship between rivals Dario Franchitti and Will Power along with a second storyline of Wheldon with a unique chance to compete for a prize of $5M.

We recently reached out to the photographer who shot our wedding six plus years ago to see if he still had our images on file. Luckily for us he did and he offered to send them to us for a pretty decent price. We took him up on it and we're glad we did because now we get to check out all the proofs that we'd forgotten he'd shot.

ScottyHendo gets it. He was once a Hoosier, too.
Yes, the holiday is Independence Day not "the 4th of July"; that's simply the date. Just a guess but it may be an unexpected consequence of the popularization of Cinco de Mayo in this country.

An odd mention showed up in my Twitter stream this afternoon (above). What's even more odd is that the aforementioned boyfriend lives two hours from me in Iowa City.

I was pretty jazzed last week when Bill Simmons and Chuck Klosterman finally launched Grantland.com, a sports and pop-culture media play that's been in the works for awhile. Simmons, the "Sports Guy" columnist from ESPN's Page 2 and former Jimmy Kimmel writer, is one of my favorite podcasters. I don't read his columns, mainly because ESPN sucks at RSS feeds, but really enjoy the aforementioned podcast. His topics cover the full range of entertainment and pop culture, with special emphasis on TV & movies, comedy and, obviously, sports.
