Buckeye-ing the System
For weeks I’ve been dying to ask an Ohio State fan - any Ohio State fan - one burning question:
Why are you excited about this season?
For good reason, lovers of college football always get a little twitchy this time of year. The game they love emerges out of the ether like a monarch butterfly after an eight-month chrysalis stage. It’s fun and exciting and I get that.
But that only goes so far. Usually to the end of the first weekend.
So why would an OSU fan’s excitement last longer than that?
To be sure, the Buckeyes are talented, and that always warrants some excitement. Indeed, lack of talent is a big reason most sports fans have a hard time getting riled up for the start of a new season. When your team of choice isn’t capable of winning more than a third of its contests, there’s no sports Viagra out there to - ahem - supplement your excitement.

Here's why Cleveland was chosen as a World Beer Festival site
John MerticWhy? Cause Cleveland Rocks of course :-)
All About Beer Magazine has held beer festivals in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Virginia. But this summer, the magazine’s World Beer Festival franchise, is branching north to Cleveland.
What’s up with that? Why Cleveland? I caught up with magazine publisher Daniel Bradford this week to find out the answer.
Well for starters, Cleveland is home to the well-respected Great Lakes Brewing Co., Bradford said in a telephone interview. In addition to producing tasty beer, Great Lakes is known for its strong commitment to the environment and community, and the World Beer Festival focuses on education and community, he said.
"It was attractive for that reason," Bradford said.
Then, there’s the city’s growing beer reputation.
"It’s really a hot town," Bradford said. "The feeling that I get is that there’s a local beer culture that’s strong. ... It just feels like we have a role to play to add to the beer community."
The World Beer Festival is July 13 at the North Coast Harbor in Cleveland. It will feature more than 200 beers, entertainment, beer exhibits and educational seminars. For more details or to buy tickets, click here.
Craftsman 6-Foot x 3-Foot Storage Building for $360 + pickup at Sears, more
Also available for Craftsman Club members is the Craftsman 8x4-Foot Resin Storage Building, model no. 65006, for $449.99. With free in-store pickup, that's $149 below the price of a similarly-sized storage building elsewhere. This 206-cu. ft. capacity shed features two skylights, dual swing doors, VersaTrack compatibility, and more. Both deals end May 11.
You can now tell Google what to do with your account in the afterlife
There's no better way to start off the afternoon than coming to terms with your mortality, which you'll need to do if you want to take advantage of Google's new Inactive Account Manager. Google launched the service on its account settings page to give users options with their account should it remain inactive for an extended period of time.
It's simple to set up: choose a timeout period—three, six, nine, or twelve months of inactivity—and from there you can direct Google on what to do with your Gmail messages, Blogger posts, Contacts, Google+ account, Google Voice, and YouTube accounts. (Basically, any Google services you've used in the past.) After that time period of inactivity, Google will send out a text message and e-mail the secondary address you provide. If you don't respond, it will assume... well, the worst. "We hope that this new feature will enable you to plan your digital afterlife," Google concluded in the blog post.
If you have intentions of allowing a friend or family member to have access to that data, you can set up the service to notify up to 10 people that your account has been inactive for the time you've specified. Google will then ask for verification details for the listed people, like a phone number and e-mail address. When you're ready, you can send out an e-mail to those people you've entrusted with your data should anything happen to you.
