How Good Is the CFL This Year?

I turned on the end of the BC-Calgary game on Friday to see a wicked back and forth tussle ending with the new (?) overtime format where the teams play two “mini-games”, each team starting at their opponent's respective 35-yard lines with regular rules in place to as they attempt to score.  The game ended […]

Friday Fun Link – See Who's Editing Wikipedia (August 17, 2007)

Wikipedia allows anonymous edits but it does track the IP of anyone who makes the edit. So a Cal-Tech computer grad student, inspired by news last year that Congress members’ offices had been editing their own entries, and curious whether other organizations were doing anything similar, developed a program to make it much easier to […]

Google is apparently setting up a health site. Google Health Screenshots are now available online.  On a related note, I've talked about RateMyProfessors.com on this blog before but have you seen RateMDs.com which is similar except when somebody gets a 0 rating, that usually means they've killed somebody or otherwise, majorly screwed up.   Kinda […]

Crackbook Musings

Shea was rapidly catching up to me so I've spent the last couple hours ping-ponging from person to person's friend lists on Facebook madly adding people I know (and knew and wish I knew).  Here are some random thoughts from the process…– In “The Tipping Point“, Malcolm Gladwell uses the term “Connector” to define one […]

If It's Saturday, It Must Be A Link Dump (Plus A Bonus Sex Story)

Every Librarian's Secret Fantasy (Er, Not That Kind of Fantasy)

We did a day trip across the border to Williston, North Dakota on Wednesday (it's a long story as to why we had to go mid-week, I'll tell you over a beer sometime) and the highlight for me was finding an old department store that had been converted into a place that sold all kinds […]
