I found this sports medicine journal article about stretching. My right hamstring is a bit tight — I seem to have about the same range of motion in terms of reaching my toes, but at the cost of a bit more discomfort at the beginning of the stretch — so I probably have to [...]
An article cited on Gizmodo talks about how some TiVo owners suffer from anxiety because their machines record so many shows that they experience a viewing backlog. The owners then feel a desperate need to watch everything to catch up before recordings get deleted.
Arguably, this is a problem that can be solved with much [...]
Easterbrook just posted a notice that a new Tuesday Morning Quarterback is up at Football Outsiders. Football Outsiders will be hosting TMQ for at least a little while, until the column finds a more permanent home.
Easterbrook basically donated his column to the site, to help a struggling site “establish itself as the [...]
I’m not a crossword puzzle maven: I’m unable to rip through a Friday NYT puzzle during my morning commute, and I’ve finished the Sunday puzzle only a couple of times; it’s not as hard as Friday or Saturday, but it’s a marathon of words and phrases. The first Sunday I finished was in college, [...]

The Columbia Journalism Review has a page that describes who owns what in terms of media companies. For example, the New York Times owns a number of papers and TV stations around the country, as well as part of the Red Sox and the Discovery channel (this explains the editorial endorsement/treason when they hoped [...]
Some early photos (exactly one gross, in fact) from Itai’s epic journey through the South Seas.
(I was going to put them on his server, but I didn’t want to muck with his web server settings enough to do an image gallery and run a blog.)
I don’t know what order they’re supposed to be in, so [...]
There’s a discussion over at the Fred Miranda forums on archival CD-Rs. I’m up to about 600MB of pictures from my Sony, and I should probably put a copy someplace safe. It’s not a professional portfolio by any means, but it’d be nice to be able to go back to these a few [...]
