The Meaning of Tiger
via Joe Posnanski by Joe Posnanski on June 16, 2008
Sure, I’m fascinated by Tiger Woods. I’m fascinated by him because I cannot figure him out. I have no idea what drives him, what inspires him, what makes him laugh (other than a misplayed chip bouncing into the hole). I don’t know if he’s happy living the most luxurious and public life imaginable, or if happiness is beside the point. I don’t know if he plays otherworldly golf because...

Viral Weezer Video Not Allowed To Be Viral
via Techdirt by Michael Masnick on June 17, 2008
The band Weezer has been getting a lot of buzz for its latest video for the song Pork and Beans, which takes a bunch of viral video "YouTube stars" and has them reprising their roles in its own video.

Tiger's Championship [Dispatches from the Culture Wars]
via ScienceBlogs : Combined Feed by Ed Brayton none@example.com on June 17, 2008
Watching the US Open this weekend reminded me all over again why I love sports, and why I love golf in particular. Unlike most activities, sports is one of immediate feedback. It may take years to have enough data to measure whether one salesman is really better than another, or whether one scholar is more or less productive than another. But in sports, there's an easy and effective means of...

Tom Willis: Should evolutionist be allowed to vote?
via The Panda's Thumb by PvM on June 12, 2008
... evolutionists routinely, yea, systematically, denounce creationists as some combination of stupid, ignorant, and… dangerous. If we recall there are two major methods men make momentous decisions: empirical and theoretical. I intend to show in a brief space that belief in evolution requires, at minimum, deep delusion allowing one to believe, or pretend to believe, in a manifestly imposs...

Video Gamers Sue EA Over Exclusive Sports Games
via Techdirt by Michael Masnick on June 14, 2008

I remember a few years back trying to wade through half a dozen different baseball video game titles to figure out which one was worth buying. However, a few years back, video game giant EA started signing "exclusive" deals with a variety of sporting leagues, including the NFL. These...
