Google's AdWords picked up on the Obama post, and there may be a slew of Obama ads coming up in the advertising section to the right, just down a little.
So, if there are some down there (not from PBS), I need you to click on those. Sounds counterintuitive to what I have posted, but his campaign has to pay for those based on the number of times they are clicked. So, click away, let's rack up a big charge for his campaign.
Cool marketing video
Being the biggest game plublisher in the world gets you a lot of haters. We get a lot of comments at work from people who are unhappy with the games they buy from us. One thing that has become popular lately is to film the bug that they find in the game and post it on YouTube so everyone can talk about how sucky EA is. Our marketing team decided to fire one back this last week to accompany the launch of Tiger Woods '09. It was pretty cool.
First soccer practice for Ella and me
We had a first soccer practice tonight. The only trouble was at the beginning, there are a lot of fields so it was kind of hard for everyone to find us given that they had no idea who I was. I was supposed to get some balloons and tie them to the soccer goal, but Sarah was running a little late from work and we didn't have time to get to the store. But, everyone figured it out.
Ella had a good time, and I really enjoyed coaching as well. I was really worried about the kids not listening and just running amok, but they were great. They listened to everything that I said, did what I told them, it was a lot of fun.

Usain Bolt - Crazy fast, but can go a lot faster
Usain Bolt was one of the cool stories of the olympics, running faster than anyone has ever run before. He set a new world record in the 100m at 9.69 seconds, and that was with him pulling up at the end because he was so far ahead of everyone.
I came across this article today that is really interesting, it predicts that humans will probably get down to 9.44 seconds in the 100m.

A new photo & video
We mentioned before that Ella said she needed to put her swimsuit on to get ready for the house flooding, so she could swim in the house. We managed to get a picture. Last night, the kids decided to put on a rock show with guitars from Rock Band. It was pretty awesome, video posted below.
