…and then it turns out to be socks.

After months of anticipation, Southern Miss debuted their new 2011 helmets today.

It’s been over for some time now, especially when you consider that it was on DVD after airing on DirecTV, before completing its run on NBC, but the wife and I only finished it last night. We didn’t want it to end and prolonging our DVR viewing was the only way to cope.

Not going to ramble about insights or angles on this final montage, but in my opinion the last 7 minutes of the show were its finest and fully embodied the constant overtones of the show… a show I consider one of the finest ever produced.

Web browser pioneer Marc Andreessen writes in the Wall Street Journal that software is ‘eating the world.’ He argues that software’s importance to the economy is being underestimated, and will become much more evident in the near future. Quoting: ‘But too much of the debate is still around financial valuation, as opposed to the underlying intrinsic value of the best of Silicon Valley’s new companies. My own theory is that we are in the middle of a dramatic and broad technological and economic shift in which software companies are poised to take over large swathes of the economy. More and more major businesses and industries are being run on software and delivered as online services—from movies to agriculture to national defense. Many of the winners are Silicon Valley-style entrepreneurial technology companies that are invading and overturning established industry structures. Over the next 10 years, I expect many more industries to be disrupted by software, with new world-beating Silicon Valley companies doing the disruption in more cases than not.

Got a little nostalgic today about my backpacking trip and dug up this beauty.

I was in the middle of the Lazio hooligans, therefore cheering for the Biancocelesti was required. I had no idea what to expect, and for that I am grateful.
