I was running

If you read that like Forest Gump, congratulations: you were born before 1990.

This is the first time in like 6 years I’ve been on pavement for a run. The initial concern was that my knees were shot from playing hockey, and ergo, soft track or treadmill running would be better for my health.

But today, I somehow managed to run just under 2 miles in our hilly neighborhood with no pain.

Was I lying to myself the whole time?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers using iPads as playbooks

Finally: a NFL team embraces technology and can stop going through playbooks the size of phone books. It’s what some MLB Clubs have been doing for a while with iPod Touch devices (loading up film of batters from upcoming opponents and giving them to their pitching staffs).

Northwest Coffee Roasting

It’s my new go-to place for great coffee. It’s also less than a mile from the office. Dangerous combination!

Indiana State Fair Midway

I thought I’d give Flare for Mac a turn on one of my favorite photos from our trip to the Indiana State Fair.

So, what about those giant arrow-shaped clouds on Titan?

The fascinating clouds, including arrow-shaped ones, that result from the atmospheric waves can cause intense precipitation — sometimes more than 20 times Titan’s average seasonal rainfall — and could be essential in shaping Titan’s surface by erosion.

When in/around Indy, you kinda have to go. At least my tattoo thinks so.

Rick Perry on the Jeebus’ ability to solve complex problems

Great pull quote from the NY Times on Rick Perry and his over dependence on God & Jesus to tag-team his problems. Problems like the worst drought in decades in Texas, which, obviously, have gone un-answered:

In the four months since Perry’s request for divine intervention, his state has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. Nearly all of Texas is now in “extreme or exceptional” drought, as classified by federal meteorologists, the worst in Texas history.
