The Raging Insterno

The Power of the Twitter viewer!

Thanks to my good friend and colleague Sumant Mandal, I’ve become addicted to cooking Indian food for my family and friends. My inspiration has been a cookbookthat Sumant gave to me, from Vij’s restaurant in Vancouver, BC. And the “go to” dish is certainly the Lamb Popsicles, shown above. I also am partial to their other dishes, including the classic Vij’s Chicken and what I’m positive is the best way to enjoy brussel sprouts, with paneer, sauteed red peppers, and toasted cashews. Thanks to Sumant and Mallika, his wife, for having me over 3 times for his version of Vij’s and thus begining the addiction.

Apture makes Ed Cunningham come to life.

1. Ed’s newest project, which I’m lucky enough to have been a small part of, is a project for McAfee. And luckily, Ed and Seth Gordon, his producing partner, will be in our offices on Wednesday to screen Stop H Commerce. I wonder what people are saying about it.

2. Ed Cunnigham in his day job as announcer on ESPN.

3. Ed Cunningham in his moonlighting job as a movie producer.

4. Ed Cunningham falling down after a block, and getting up in the 1992 Rose Bowl (He’s #79).

5. Ed Cunningham in an Arizona uniform. (top right, fourth from the right).

6. Homage to the 1991 Huskies: The most dominant college football player ever, wasn’t Ed Cunningham. No, it was  Steve Emtman. Nobody dominated double and triple teams like Emtman, leading the 1991 Huskies to the National Championship, which it shared with the Miami Hurricanes. To reach the pinnacle, the Huskies had to destroy a strong Michigan team in the 1992 Rose Bowl. Emtman was so dominant, he even made All-Stars out of Dave Hoffman and James Clifford, undersized linebackers that had free runs at ballcarriers and quarterbacks since Emtman would occupy three blockers.

With all of the talk about Oprah and Ashton and their Twitter accounts, thought it might be about time to follow them on my blog using Apture’s live Twitter Viewer.  Personally, I prefer Lance Armstrong, Steve Nash, and Barry Zito.  But to see it in context of an article, along with relevant video, photos, and articles on the web, oooohlala! Nice work, Team Apture!

 What a sports renaissance we’re experiencing at Cornell. Two straight NCAA appearances as champions of the Ivy League in hoops led by Ryan Whitman, Randy’s kid, wrestler Troy Nickerson wins the NCAA wrestling title,  a top 10 lacrosse ranking (info thanks to Al Leibel) and once again, the Big Red Machine is making its way through the NCAA tournament in hockey. Hopefully. And who is really kidding who….hockey is the only sport at Cornell that we really care about.  Yes, the Big Red limped into the ECAC tournament, finishing the last 10 at 6-4, but everyone has a chance in the final 16. Go Big Red. Here is what is being said about CU hockey right now on Twitter.
