DRAFT NIGHT! Friday September 4th

Well, the fantasy football season kicks into high gear tonight with the draft. Let's hope I do as well picking these guys as I did last year. #11 pick, so I'll have a long wait time for that first team member. Went with Ninja Monkeys as my team name this year. Go Monkeys!

Speaking of monkeys, that's Rowan in her monkey jacket from Uncle Dave. It's a 3T and fits pretty well!

With the start of fantasy, it means that the football season is officially upon us. IU needs to pick it up after barely beating a 1AA team last night at home. Play like that next week and Western Michigan will wipe the field with you. We'll be there for that game. More on that next week...

iPhone news was out this week. Seems AT&T is close to losing it's exclusivity of iPhone by the end of 2010. However, it may be a double edged sword for whichever company gets the contract. iPhoners use copious amounts of data, and this clogs the system for phone, data, or any smartphone uses. It's a major drawback for the AT&T system...but would be the same for Verizon as well. [Brandweek & NY Times]

Rowan, September 3rd 2008
