Friday Brain Dump (Basketball Edition)

1. Did you know that you can embed Tweets? Just mouseover the tweet I have embedded below. Notice that the tweet is “live,” meaning that all the links (such as the “Follow” button) clickable and functional.

Anyone Else Going LINsane?

Having grown up in New York, I have been a New York Knicks fan since (my generation’s version of) the Knicks’s glory days in the 1990s. I cried when they lost the 1999 NBA Finals. Meeting Allan Houston was one of the high points of my life. And, I remained true to my boys in […]

The Tim Hawkins Guide to Worship Signals

In preparation for Superbowl XLVI, Christian comedian Tim Hawkins has created this official handbook of worship signals…non-denominational, of course. 😉  I’m sure all my Christian readers — in addition to anyone else who have witnessed passionate Christian worship — will appreciate this with a big laugh.

The 5 Greatest NBA Finals Moments, ‘Legoized’

After an embarrassing performance by my beloved Knicks in this year’s NBA Playoffs (way to celebrate your first playoff appearance in 7 years!), I must admit that I haven’t been quite as into the rest of the playoffs, or even the finals.

Every NBA Slam Dunk Contest

I’m not sure exactly why, but this year’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest didn’t seem to be as good as the previous years. While there is no doubt that Blake Griffin’s winning dunk was impressive, it just seemed too gimmicky and a bit over-the-top. Anyhow, I happened upon a neat visualization that lists all the slam […]

Guest Post: Baseball & Relationships

When Alycia first contacted me about writing a post comparing baseball to relationships, I thought, ‘Cool! Why not?’ Then I realized that she would be writing about the Yankees. Bleech.  I’m not much of a baseball fan, but if I had to choose, I much prefer the Mets over the Yankees. But how is this a […]
