One of my favorite sports writers, Paul Zimmerman ( Dr. Z of Sports Illustrated ) suffered two strokes in November and has had a slow recovery. This past weekend I found his wife's blog at baileyzimmerman.blogspot.com , and its a sobering diary of what a supporter's life is like. Paul is still having trouble with speech, and I was going to recommend something like the board that kjc's friend...

Ganked from kjc007 , who ganked it from chaobell : You can't make this, um, shit up.

I know it's not formally the end of the extended weekend. And I've a cookout to attend and a game tonight still to come, but let me at least document some of. No, as the man said. Is too long, let me sum up (partly by referencing other helpful people). Friday I cut out of work early to stand in line for the Julius Schwartz Memorial Lecture at MIT, featuring Neil Gaiman. I felt I sort of hand to...

I went to see Neil Gaiman talk at MIT tonight. It was really awesome. Thanks especially to kjc007 who helped me get a pair of tickets. I'm not going to tell you about the talk here, and if you don't know who Neil Gaiman is, go click and read the wikipedia article since it will do a better job explaining than I will anyway. One of the problems with going to an event like this is you will...

Hello folks! I just wove my first complete and non-sucky bracelet on my new bead loom. BUT, I'm not sure how to finish it off. I need some sort of closure - a button? Something? I haven't worked with thread before (only beading wires of various sorts), so I'm at a bit of a loss. And, I also wanted to show off my work. This is the complete piece. The beaded part is 5.5" long. I'm aiming...

kjc007 recently tagged me, asking me to post seven songs I'm into right now. What you didn't know when you asked that, Kjc, was that I had just spent the whole two hour drive out to Sunderland, and most of the 2 hour drive back, listening to one song, over and over, re-playing verse-by-verse, until I had the whole thing more or less memorized. Since I can't give you seven, I give you the lyrics...

The meme, found on liralen 's LJ: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to. Iwasaki Taku - "Read or Die no Teemu (long version...

Thanks to kjc007 , who says: Well today, 12 February 2008, is DARWIN DAY! Today we celebrate the 199th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin on 12 February 1809. Wikipedia sez , "The day is also an opportunity to highlight Darwin's contribution to science and to promote science in general."
