In case you didn't know . . .

• Obama will be the 44th president of the U.S. He is already holding steady on his resolve not to get involved with 'big corporate' in that he is refusing money from large corporate sponsors for the inauguration.
  
• That being said, president-elects have to fund a good portion of their own inauguration because the government only provides so much.
• Obama is like Michael Jordan. I'm down to be on any team with MJ, and if a = b and b = c, I'm definitely down to be led by Obama. (6th bullet down)
• If you are like me and don't have car, then I have some news for you. Gas is $2.30/gallon
• Former Phoenix Suns Guard Kevin Johnson is the mayor of Sacramento
• Granada Hills felt left out of all the news coverage from the fire in Porter Ranch, so it started it's own.
• USC is ranked 6th in the nation, which means there are 5 teams that are better, but if you go to Vegas and were to look at the point spread for each matchup, USC would be favored against all of those teams. Explain that for me please.
• I had no idea, until prop 8 was passed, how big the bubble I lived in was.
• Yao Ming must now be referred to as Dr. Yao Ming. Isn't his last name Ming? Why does it say Yao on his jersey, he's not Brazillian.
• The waiter at a dinner I went to was Ze Roberto. Thank you Brazillians for inventing that name, I like it. The name also belonged to a soccer player on Brazil.
• What rivalries exist that are legitimate anymore? Cal vs. Stanford? I don't feel it so much. Lakers vs. Celtics? You'll have to talk to 50+ year olds for that one. Yankees vs. Red Sox? I'll give you that one, though now that they are pretty much the same, buy the best team on paper clubs now, I don't see what the fans hate about the other team so much when they look in the mirror every day and are happy with what they see. Nope, I don't think rivalries last more than 2 or 3 years and then fizzle out into memories and constant rehashing from pre-game shows.
  
• Though it hasn't been advertised as much, do your research before you invest in a MacBook or iPhone . . . There have been a lot of bugs and a lot of firmware fixes that have had to be sent out. I think it is because they have such a large volume customers now, that they can no longer put as much time into quality as they could before.
• I implore all of you to learn how to solder correctly.
• You can now order pizza from your TiVo, but you'll have to like Dominos.
  
• Blu Ray player prices finally broke $200 without rebates, emphasis on broke
