My 2 Seconds of Fame via Twitter

I have various Google Alerts set up for my name, my aliases, and their variations. About 50% of the time the alerts have nothing to do with me, but the other half can get pretty interesting. Most of the time I’ll be flattered that someone chose to link to me, or find my stuff beneficial […]

T-Minus 2.5 Hours

An hour-long TV special devoted to where a basketball player will play this coming season seems rather silly, doesn’t it? But you can bet that I, and millions more, will be watching. Almost all sources point to LeBron having chosen Miami. There are even rumors that he’s booked six cabanas that the W Hotel South […]

The USA vs England World Cup Match…in Legos

As the USA vs England match aired this past Saturday afternoon, we had a dozen rowdy guys — evenly rooting for either team — screaming their heads off and creating all sorts of drunken debauchery in our living room.

The Evolution of the World Cup Ball

The New York Times Magazine has posted beautiful photographs of the all the balls used in the World Cup, starting from 1930! And here I thought they were still using the black pentagons, white hexagons ball circa 1970. That just goes to show how much I know about soccer.
