ESPN now has more content available through iTunes. X Games, SportsCentury clips, SportsCenter Ads (not working yet), and my favorite, And1 Streetball, have been added to the lineup.

Happy Chinese New Year! We’re now officially in the Year of the Dog. To commemorate, here are some interesting dogs.

US Postal Service Dog Stamp. The latest from their on-going collection.

Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman. Yeah, so he’s cheesy, but he brings popularity to Hawaii.

Nike Year of the Dog AF1. The creative crew at Nike designed this Air Force 1 sneaker. The limited edition version has fake dog hair on the back. The normal version is more available but still hard to get.

Coco. Our family dog that had a massive hair cut.

CNN and CareerBuilder.com want to help your resume by providing 25 words that could actually do more harm than good. The underlying theme is to provide specific examples of your work and its impact rather than using these words to summarize your deeds.

So if you are an aggressive, efficient, motivated team player then maybe it’s time to relook your resume. I’ll keep this in mind while revising my resume.

Bloggers out there, how about a custom tee shirt with a word cloud based on your (or any) blog? Snap Shirts scans your site and picks out words from your site and arranges them on a tee shirt. Cost is $18. Here’s a preview based on Pulpconnection.

Kinda cool.

Ate at the recently opened Romano’s Macaroni Grill in Ala Moana. Pretty good Italian food, big place, got crowded real fast but also very noisy. We tried the Pasta Milano and Sausage & Peppers Classico. I liked the big bowls.

Later in the day, we went back to Elements Hawaii to continue tech support. While there, we ran into possibly, the greatest legal mind ever who needed a Brazilian waxing massage to rejuvenate himself to best legally represent Club 939.

More television content has finally come to iTunes. Disney short films were made available the same day Disney acquired Pixar. Now there are shows from various networks like MTV (Beavis and Butthead, Jackass, Punk’d), Nickelodeon (SpongeBob, Dora), and Comedy Central (South Park).

Right now, there’s a free video from the January 20 showing of the Today Show. KT Tunstall performs Black Horse and the Cherry Tree. Never heard of her or this song, but free is free.

Don’t forget about the classics like the A-Team. I pity the fool!

Google is prepping an updated search algorithm using a new data center scheme dubbed Big Daddy. Searches are supposed to be significantly better.

In fact, you can give Big Daddy a test run by using these IP addresses for Google.

• 66.249.93.104
• 64.233.179.104

I tried looking up the term “club 939” and did see different results. With Big Daddy, my postings about Club 939 (via Technorati tags) show up 5th in the results. With regular Google, my postings don’t show up in the first 5 pages.

This teaming/merger seems more like a done deal than Apple and Starbucks teaming up. Disney could be buying out Pixar Animation, the guys that brought “Toy Story” and “Finding Nemo” to life.

Oh, the CEO of Pixar is some dude named Steve Jobs who also runs a fruit company. If this deal is made then Jobs would become Disney’s largest individual shareholder.

Doesn’t Disney have some relationship with ABC and ESPN? Let’s think content, content, content for Apple’s iTunes Music Store.

A long article (but still good reading) about doing what you love. Interesting points about what you learn about work while going to school, the misnomer of prestigious tasks, and so much more.

The test of whether people love what they do is whether they’d do it even if they weren’t paid for it.

If you got 15 minutes of spare time, give this article a read.

There’s a Usability conference coming up in San Francisco from June 19-24. Interesting topics about how to make your web sites more usable.

Jakob Nielsen, author of Designing Web Usability, will be presenting. Sounds like a few of us from work should check it out!

I saw this thing and absolutely had to post it. It’s a little early to be thinking about gifts for next Christmas, but you can never start early enough.

For the aspiring doctors and medical field practitioners, this is for you – the Digital Rectal Examination simulator. If you have to practice this medical skill somehow, you might as well cause no harm to our fellow man.

And yes, you can order replacement parts.

The Tabasco Man passed along this article from Forbes magazine about Nike replacing its recently appointed CEO, Bill Perez. Perez was hand picked by Chairman Phil Knight and was on the job for only one year. He resigned due to disagreeing views of Nike’s long-term growth.

I don’t remember where I read about Perez, but from what I recall, Knight thought he made the right choice (at the time) due to Perez’s experience with S.C. Johnson & Son, a worldwide company. Knight thought Perez could use that experience to help Nike grow globally and to also handle Nike’s other subsidiaries (Converse and Cole Haan).

Here is Nike’s press release naming Mark Parker as the new CEO.
