- Bob Costas gets Dooced!
Finally someone who feels the same way about Bob Costas as I do… even more so I’m afraid…
[Link] - Book Review: How Soccer Explains the World
I’ve just finished reading How Soccer Explains the World: An {Unlikely} Theory of Globalization, by Franklin Foer, which I referenced in a previous post back in January.
Foer takes us kicking and screaming around the globe as he introduces us to the hot beds of soccer. From Croatia to Brazil. From the UK to Italy. From [...] - Starry Night and Branding
Tonight was the first time Erin noticed the stars in the night sky. We get amazing clear night skys, showing off zillions of stars. I took Erin out of the car and asked her if she sees the stars. She looked puzzled for a moment, since the only stars she knew were the glow-in-the-dark variety [...]
