I find myself won­der­ing about the poor souls in PR depart­ments who have to write glow­ing press releases about the bright future in which the mem­ber­ship will save $11 mil­lion annu­ally in salaries and ben­e­fits, know­ing full well that some of that is going to be them.

Floyd Landis, continued

July 28th, 2006 | 1 Comment | Biking |

Lan­dis is inno­cent until proven oth­er­wise, but pro sports in gen­eral is guilty as charged. Now, the final sprint to the fin­ish line isn’t the real drama. You don’t know who’s really won until a cou­ple of days later when the lab results return.

Black Comedy

If you haven’t yet tuned in to “It’s Always Sunny In Philadel­phia” on the F/X Net­work, take a look. Danny DeVito is involved, and the brand of wicked black com­edy seen in “The War of the Roses” and “Throw Momma From The Train” per­me­ates.

sIFR is a Flash tool that lets you take any font on your sys­tem and use it as a web font. Too good to be true? Maybe. But under care­ful cir­cum­stances you can make some pretty sharp look­ing head­lines with­out hav­ing to open up Pho­to­shop every time. Read more here.

Writ­ten off for dead after hit­ting the wall on Wednes­day, Lan­dis res­ur­rected him­self on Thurs­day. He made a gritty, ballsy, very risky move on the pelo­ton early, and beat every­one by nearly six minutes.

July 17th, 2006 | 0 Comments | Music |

Some­one at the Indi­ana Uni­ver­sity Music School Library has been busy. They’ve been scan­ning in public-domain scores and pub­lish­ing them as pdfs for all on their site. Despite being in the “early devel­op­men­tal” phase, they have 73 dif­fer­ent operas, some 40 sym­phonies, many other orches­tral works as well as lieder, cham­ber music and piano music. In […]

This nest­ing pair of car­di­nals has been in my yard all year. I’ve also got a fam­ily of rab­bits — or as we like to call them, “bun­nies” — under my shed. Pair of Cardinals
