I’m Jeff Vincent and I like to do hoodrat things with my friends. The Scary Basement is my personal spot for the music, art, photography, film, friends, inspirations, business ideas, inventions & innovations that flow through and around my head. My favorite things in life are laughter, big smiles, learning new things, challenging the norms, salmon pants, doing what makes me happy, new perspectives, lessons for life, skiing, new adventures, and loved ones. Enjoy. email me at jdotvincentfour at gmail Some Places I’d Love to Be: The Clarion GroupPatagoniaApple, Inc.Jump AssociatesThe Boston Consultant Group and lots more… Some of my links:The JV World search engineSearch the whole JV Web for old posts, cool ideas“how to not get a job in advertising”A blog I started to track my thoughts on the advertising world.

Since the roulette wheel has landed on red the last four times, we assume the probability it will land on black has increased. However, the odds remain the same (these are independent events). Other examples include the odds of getting heads when flipping a coin, or the odds that the Detroit Lions are “due” for a winning season. So you should be safe from humiliation, at least from a statistician’s point of view.</p>http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/247309810http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/247309810Tue, 17 Nov 2009 10:30:52 -0500<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://jvincent.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/246913717/tumblr_kt8nftc1M11qz64nz&color=FFFFFF" height="27" width="207" quality="best"></embed><br/><br/><p>Miike Snow - A Horse is Not a Home</p>http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/246913717http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/246913717Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:33:29 -0500<img src="http://9.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kt5sotm0oK1qz64nzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/244903776http://jvincent.tumblr.com/post/244903776Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:34:10 -0500
