Sunday Sauerkraut: The Saul Edition

Posted by Burgher Jon
/ April 11, 2010 / Leave a comment

For those of you who don’t regularly attend Pirate Games, one of the between inning entertainment items is “The Great Pittsburgh Pierogi Race N’at”.  One of the competitors in the race, is Sauerkraut Saul (pictured above).  He (or she) is a sauerkraut stuffed Mrs. T’s Pierogi.  Amazingly, there’s a wikipedia article on the race.

As I go through the week, I use Twitter to send out little updates and links.  I realize that I do this quite a bit and that not all of you have Twitter, so with that in mind I’d like to take Sunday to do sort of a week in review.  I’ve selected the most useful of my tweets from the last week and placed them in to the categories that I use in this blog.

Personal Technology

  • Hmmm possible with any android? RT @nerdgirl: iPad to Google Nexus One wifi tether working. No need for a 3G iPad now. (clap)

Pittsburgh

  • The Pirates are only worth $289 Million. I’m within $300 Million of owning the bucs! http://bit.ly/d0tXTT (via @priyacmu)
  • Bruce Kraus is sitting near by in Starbucks chatting with a constituent. Good to See. Honest/Informed Conversation.

Sports

  • #Pirates sent Pedro Alvarez to the minors to work on a few things, apparently kicking ass was one of them. 3 HRs in 2 games
  • Giddy, i am. http://yfrog.com/1xdhcj

Technology News

  • My company, Adaptivity, made the OnDemand Top 100 list. 2nd company under Cloud – Management Tools! http://bit.ly/b8BwDe

Unsolicited Advice

  • RT @jasonfried: Excess meetings, documents & policies are the saturated fats, sugars, preservatives & artificial ingredients of business.

Other (Mostly Humorous Comments from the Week)

  • What to tweet sometimes hits me like a punch to the face and sometimes dribbles out like a bloody nose.
  • I’m terrible at golf. That says good things for my productivity on Saturday mornings.
  • At the race this morning 2800 people ran 13.1 miles to get nowhere (start line was next to finish).
