Happy New Year!

Wow, it's been an amazing year ... 07 has been good to us. But: My Blog Died! I got buried in work! I know, I know ... it happens to us all (it doesn't help with Nintendo releasing games like Mario Galaxy!)

BUT! I decided (after seeing an awesome response and hit rate) that "Teft's Blog" needed the love rekindled. Mimi and I are getting back into mode of doing songs in an hour and want to share them with you guys. Some may be released under "Mimi & Teft", and some just on this blog. But we promise to share.

So, in other news Mimi & Teft will be releasing our first video soooooooonnn ...... sooooooonnnnnnnnn.

It's the weekend, so I figured an off-topic post would be cool. This has got to be one of the best forum threads I've followed in a long time! It's start off with some rules:

Rules: cut the subject out and put him in another situation.

Sounds fair ... 28 pages of photoshop'ed images!!! This passed out guy has been "immortalized"! The funniest page for me is #4. The guy is put into SO MANY situations, it's incredible! From the Pope, to riding with Bush, to hanging with the Beatles ... it's great!

Last weekend Mimi and I took a saturday over to the bay area. Fishermans warf ... glorious fresh fish! About three weeks ago I had seen a local news cast talking about a coffee roasting company that was selling coffee out of a garage, and people have driven all the way across the bay area to get a cup of coffee! Whoa! This better be good coffee.

I dialed in the address to the Blue Bottle Coffee Kiosk into my navigation system and off we went (full of fish and chips). Sure enough, the coffee kiosk was hidden in a one way alley in San Fransisco. AND, there was a line! A line for a sweet fresh cup of joe. And it kept growing ... not a two or three person line, but a strong 10 person average of a line!

Over the weekend Apple made a killing with half a million iPhones sold! Let's see 500,000 x $600 = $300 Million! 700,000 units sold at $200 million profit! Way to go Steve Jobs! With that many sold, somebody in my family HAD to buy one .... no it wasn't me ... My sister and her husband sunk cash into two iPhones! The pic to the left is my sisters iPhone.

After playing with it for awhile I feel like it's luster and beauty is seducing me into spending money on an iPhone (and 2 year contract with Cingular/At&t). You see, it's not just another Palm Treo, or some hot shot “Black Jack” phone, it's a seduction machine with style and finesse.
