I'm a fan of Buddhism...but doesn't this story sound a lot like a Nepalese version of David Blaine??

Wayfaring Map - Basketball Courts

Wayfaring Map - Basketball Courts

So I just discovered this site that allows users to make their own maps with points of interest or routes...kinda of interesting. I don't know why, but I am sorta obsessed with Google Maps. Must be since I'm related to Ponce De Leon. Anyways, I discovered this site at the same time that I had an itch to go shoot some hoops. Mash those 2 ideas together and voila!...I've started to map out local courts to shoot around at. Cool thing about this is that anyone can add points to the map...so my future cyberbuddies from Compton can fill me in on what courts are the best to go play some pickup.

(And yes, this is just 1 of 1 million ways to procrastinate. damn you thesis...just die already!)

Covering Teen Wolf: One Coach's Guide.

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Covering Teen Wolf: One Coach's Guide.

Used to be, the key to beating Teen Wolf's Beavers was just to play them on any night there wasn't a full moon. We were unlucky one season in that we met them 28 days apart, both times in their barn, and Teen Wolf destroyed us—64 points in the first game, then a quadruple-double in the second, with 14 blocked shots and 25 steals. Our third matchup, though, we were fortunate enough to have a 76 percent waxing gibbous, so it was regular Scott Howard, who turned the ball over twice before fouling out, scoreless, in eight minutes of play. These days, however, it seems the guy can change over whenever he wants, which poses a real problem to opposing coaches. What follows is the best strategy my staff and I have come up with to limit Teen Wolf's effectiveness on the court. While admittedly far from foolproof, it will, hopefully, prove useful to your team. We're all in this together, folks.

This is pure gold!

Go Lakers

Opening/Closing Night

Hello NBA...goodbye 20's!

Let the countdown begin...less than 10 hours until I turn the big 3-0. But am I going out with a whimper?? Most definitely not. Tonight the Lakers are throwing my 20's a going away party and everyone at the Staples Center is invited. There will even be party favors for all in attendance (magnetic lakers schedules). If you care to stop by and eugooglize (yes Mr. Zoolander, eugoogly), I will be up in the nosebleeds with Glen enjoying the finest beer that the Staples Center has to offer (most likely Budweiser).
