John Parr’s Updated Classic: Tim Tebow’s Fire #tebow #stelmosfire
So this isn’t a parody, technically. John Parr, of “St. Elmo’s Fire” fame, recreated his 80s hit to pay homage to the great Tim Tebow. Yes, Tim Tebow mania has officially reached a peak.
I think Parr missed a reference to the old “St. Elmo” at about 2:24, though it may have been intentional. Changing the line to “I can feel Tim Tebow’s fire burning in me” could me misconstrued to mean something Rick Santorum wouldn’t approve of.

Can you read Korean? (why google maps needs home language characters)
If you don’t read korean, would you have any idea how to navigate around Jeju? All I can gather is that there is a 7-11 by the 1131 road if I get really hungry.

. @GrubHub Introduces Loyalty ‘Game’: Yummy Rummy
As a minor addict of the food delivery website GrubHub, I’ve been awaiting the day they served up a rewards program. Today, as I went to order, I noticed an update to the site to include this thing called ‘Yummy Rummy’.
After 3 orders, you get a ‘play’ at the game, and you can win credits off future orders, food items, and even free food for a year. It’s an interesting twist on a standard points-based loyalty program.
(I chose the chocolate cake. Not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I won a free dessert.)
It was a bit glitchy, as it didn’t deduct from my available games right away or show my prize in my account. I’m sure they’ll work this out. A few things of note:
-It’s based on orders, not dollars spent.
-This will likely be less costly to them than a passive rewards system, as you have to play the game and use the credits.
-Instead of food prizes, I prefer straight cash, homey.
It’s a good step for my favorite Chicago-based web start-up. Eat up.
