Pet Peeve of the Moment
People who make U-Turns on green arrow (left turn) lights. Honestly, I have no idea if this is illegal or not,[1. It\’s probably not] but it should be. Reason: people slow down to start the U, which accordions the traffic behind as people react to the change in speed. It\’s annoying, and if you\’re one…

Baseball Thoughts
A couple of quick-hit thoughts: Joe Mauer won the AL MVP award yesterday. The vote would have been unanimous except that a writer from Japan who represents Seattle (don\’t ask me to explain) voted for Miguel Cabrera instead. No matter. Mauer had a great year, and 20/20 hindsight is now making those writers who thought…

A tip from The King
ESPN\’s got a nice article up about Arnold Palmer turning 80, which is a good read for fans of golf, golf history, and/or Arnie. I\’m struck by a quote from Jack about a tip that Arnie gave him: \”We were playing, and I chipped a ball from just off the green. He recommended that I…

Inception
Those of you who know me, know that I\’m a big fan of movie director Christopher Nolan. The Prestige is one of the first two or three movies that come to mind when people ask me What\’s your favorite movie?, and both Memento and even The Dark Knight would come close to placing Top 10.…

Heavy Nerd Alert
Granted, you\’re not all Apple fanboys like me, but you might have noticed that they shipped their latest operating system (10.6, aka \’Snow Leopard\’) on Friday. Naturally, I\’ve been running it on a non-essential system (my work laptop, ha) since then. I\’ll post a little nutshell review below the link, but for those of you…

Health Care Reading Material
Came across two articles today that friends had posted to their Facebook pages[1. And so hat tips to both Whitney and Nicole. They\’re super cool. Too bad they\’re not your friends too.], and I thought I\’d share. Here are some relevant quotationals: \”You can feel grateful for the protection currently offered by Medicare (or by…
