NCAA Final Four - Michigan State vs Connecticut
This is the first time in years ever that I've still had a chance of winning the office basketball pool this late in the tournament. I'm sitting in first place out of 40 entries and cannot be beat if North Carolina wins it all. I can't stop thinking about what I'd do with that nice windfall ($!$!$!$) if the Tarheels can pull it off. Lots of other scenarios can still take place which would knock me out of the money but I think Carolina would have to be considered the favorite of the four teams left.

KTST
It's tornado season once again in the United States. Last week we had our annual tornado drill in the creepy basement of the building where I work. I was half expecting a voice to tell me to put the lotion in the basket while I was down there.
Tomorrow is the 35th anniversary of a series of tornadoes known as the Super Outbreak which consisted of 148 twisters across 13 states. The worst hit was nearby Xenia, Ohio where two tornadoes merged into one super-tornado killing 32 people and injuring 1,150. Roughly half of the town was damaged or destroyed to the tune $100 million dollars.

I'm not sure why anyone would name their radio station after a natural disaster that kills about 100 people per year on average (not to mention all the injuries and property damage.) Besides, aren't you tempting fate by cavalierly naming yourselves "Twister" when you're located in the heart of Tornado Alley? Don't be surprised when their tower gets ironically knocked down by a real version of the station logo. I guess it makes it OK if you give the tornado googly cartoon eyes and a cowboy hat.
No one could be so stupid as to name their entity after a deadly natural disaster. Oh, hold on a minute. Wait, this too? Aw, you have got to be kidding me. OK, never mind. What's next..."94.5 The Flood" from Fargo, North Dakota? "Southern India's Hottest Hits 106.9 The Typhoon?"

More States on Stickers
I like maps. Always have. My teenage bedroom wall wasn't filled with rock band posters or sports pennants but instead with maps from National Geographic magazine and a hammer & sickle flag from the Soviet Union. I guess I was a cartograpic nerd. Later I spent two years as a Geography major in college but bailed out when things got too academically challenging. I just couldn't muster any interest in the Origins and Concentration of Dairy Farms in Wisconsin or studies on the Social and Environmental Effects of Deforestation on Hispaniola. I was having too much fun at the college radio station so I switched my major to Mass Communications and finally graduated four years later. These stickers and others like them combine two of my favorite things: Radio and Maps.

National Joe Day - CKNG
Today is another useless novelty "holiday" where everyone can feel free to call themselves and others "Joe." I'm now firmly convinced that this place is simply making crap up in order to get content for their website.

CKNG "Joe FM" was a Classic Hits station from Edmonton, Alberta.
