Gawker’s Super Fun Super Bowl Quiz!

A fun and totally pointless quiz asks 'What Super Bowl Time Are You?'

superbowl_0

Long, long ago in 2011, a Huffington Post trends and traffic editor was busy analyzing words and phrases that people were searching on the Internet. This editor would then write posts using that data in order to get them to appear in Google’s top-ranked search results. The day before Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, this editor noticed one question popping up in his data: ‘What Time Does the Superbowl Start.’ (Super Bowl spelled as one word.)

Of course Google has now made it much more difficult to game the search engine optimization (SEO) system as was done in the web glory days. But for one brief moment in time, a simple article titled with that highly searched for question struck Internet gold and earned Huffington Post‘s article the top spot in Google’s search results, not to mention everlasting fame–at least to digital editors like me.

In honor of ‘What Time Does the Superbowl Start,’ the great minds at Gawker.com have put together a helpful quiz that based on questions like, ‘How do you take your coffee?’ and ‘Which Batman character are you?’ will determine one of the most important things that will ever be determined in your life: ‘What Super Bowl Time Are You?’

I’m happy to report that I’m 3:30 p.m. PST like a grown woman should be. Take the quiz and find out what you are!

Where we snuggled…

Studio Sessions: Christopher Paul Jordan

Studio Sessions: Christopher Paul Jordan

Drawing on childhood memories, neighborhood history, and salvaged materials, Christopher Paul Jordan’s latest show at Cornish’s Behnke Family Gallery explores how the past stays with us.

Start in the middle. It’s good advice for telling a story, and a way into Christopher Paul Jordan’s paintings. By the time you encounter them, their materials have already been something else, and who knows what they might move on to become. The Tacoma interdisciplinary artist works with salvaged objects, including screens, picture frames, canvas,…

Rearview Mirror: Wedding Bells, A Furniture Launch, and the Symphony’s New Look 

Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).

WEDDING BELLS I’ve been a bit absent from this column lately, but I think I have a pretty good excuse: I got married! It’s already been three weeks since my September 19 wedding, but I’m still reflecting on the magic of the day. My fiancé, well husband now (I can’t get used to saying it!),…
