Friends with Ideas who like sports

A friend of mine launched his idea recently. "Are You Watching This"
Seems like a cool idea. The way I understand it (don't hold me to this) the games (NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA, Nascar, etc) are voted in real time before and during the game by users of the site. Depending on the threshold you set, you get sms'ed, paged, emailed when games meeting your threshold are found.
So the next time, it is bottom of the sixth and the no-hitter is starting to look like a reality you will be notified. You will no longer have to curse yourself for being stuck in the line at Ikea for that 45$ chair and missing the game.

We saw "Chalk" last night and it was good!

Go see it.
It is a very funny movie that has 5 real actors in its entire cast. I know because I was at the QandA last night after the movie. The rest are either people with little acting experience or not actors. It has real teachers, real students and employs heavy improvisation. All in all well done. It is humorous but also a revealing documentary on the state of our public school educational system and its effects on the lives of all involved.

• Movie details here. This movie website is hosted by Bside which was started by Chris Hyams and also employs a bunch of other smart and cool folks I used to work with. They are doing really good work with their product. Check it out here :).
  
• The movie was directed by Mike Akel and I found that one of my friends (Rod Henegar) edited the first movie Mike made. Mike is also close friends with some other friends of mine. Basically Austin is kind of small and you eventually find connections with people :)
• I am currently with a startup and our goal is to help us (the USA) move away from the school we saw in the movie. One school at a time of course ;-). Nothing like a big goal eh. We are just starting.....
