Bummed that it is Monday morning? I’m pretty sure you had a better commute than this poor lady.

Monday blues
Auto correct: Chicken vaginas
These errors always make me chuckle when I read them. I agree with the friend that chicken fajitas sound far more appetizing.
Apple eyes Twitter
On Friday the New York Times reported that Apple is in talks with Twitter to make a “strategic investment” in the company.
While Apple has been very successful within the mobile space, the firm has failed miserably at tapping into social media, which has become an increasingly important for web and mobile. Studies continue to show how social media which build communities of interest are increasingly influencing how people spend their time and money. With Apple’s business model relying heavily on apps and their iTunes store this would seem like a smart long-term investment in their business model.
I have no idea if Twitter would be for sale, but the more I think about this pairing the more it would be interesting to see just what “strategic investment” means.
Let the shopping begin
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been tweeting about the disarray of my apartment during our remodeling. I owe my good friend Sergio (another Sergio – not my other half) and Pierre much thanks for letting us shack up at their home during the worst of the construction.
The painters are finally finishing today we are busy cleaning (I had no idea how much of a mess flooring and painting would cause). The next step is purchasing a couple new pieces of furniture. The process will be gradual, but we wasted no time purchasing our new sofa “The Carmichael” from GUS furniture as shown above.
Um… hello
Is this what one would find in a field of hay? I might need to start making more trips out to the country. Thanks for sharing Julian.

Last night Procter & Gamble and Gillette wished Team USA well in the London Olympics by projecting holograms of two Olympic athletes during a light show in Boston at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Shown above is a 60-foot hologram of sprinter Tyson Gay.

What treat fills you with nostalgia and makes you think of summer when you were a kid?
Things that make BosGuy go hmm…
All things considered it’s a funny phone number
Oh Canada!
If this doesn’t give you Olympic fever nothing will. The Olympic Games in London start today. Thanks to James Anok for sharing on his FB page.
Furry Friday
Each Friday I post a photo of a guy with a hairy chest and refer to it as my “Furry Friday” post. This week I’m featuring a furry duo. I thought the photograph was really sweet.
Amazon founder to donate $2.5 million to marriage equality in Washington State
Same Sex marriage advocates have had outspoken supporters in Hollywood with big name actors since the debate started. More recently large donations and endorsements for marriage equality have come from successful and much admired business leaders.
Bill Gates (Microsoft founder) and Steve Ballmer (current CEO) revealed they had each donated $100,000 to support the same sex marriage initiative currently being challenged by ballot in Washington State. Earlier in the year Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, made news when he made a video for Americans for Marriage Equality.
However earlier this week, Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his wife, MacKenzie, made jaws drop when they agreed to donate $2.5 million to help pass a same-sex marriage referendum in Washington State, becoming among the largest financial backers of gay marriage rights in the country.
You can read more about their incredible donation here.
Suddenly it makes sense
Much to my surprise, New England has a lot of surfers. This part of the country isn’t exactly known for large waves, but after seeing this photograph, I can appreciate why so many like the sport. As the title says, “Suddenly it makes sense.”
