- First thing first, as many of you know, I am a Rays season ticket holder. I go to every Friday game. Unfortunately, the Rays are 6-17 this year on Fridays. The fine gentlemen at DRaysBay examine what's going wrong.
- Speaking of the Rays, there is a new Rays blog out there called "The Ray Area". Always good to see more people write about the Rays, but I am not sure what the webmaster means when he said that other Rays blogs "often forget that baseball is supposed to be fun". I can think of one site he might be referring to, but that's not a good way to make friends.
- Pitchfork reviews the release of the 40th anniversary special release of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew". Hint for Christmas, y'all.
- Here is an old New York Mets Newsday pullout from 1986 that I think I still have somewhere. Hard to believe it was 24 years ago.
- I was curious who was supporting that nutjob preacher in Gainesville who wanted to burn Qu'rans. Apparently this group of rightwing zealots was backing him up. What a bunch of nutbars.
- Also in news, the number of foreign students enrolled in college in the US dropped for the first time in a long time. That's not good. Not only are other countries providing an alternative, but that also means a loss of income for our colleges.
- From the random blogosphere comes a blog named "The Backpacking Ninja", from a world traveler. Who may or may not flip out and kill people.
- A whole directory of random photos of Stormtroopers getting into craziness.
- In a galaxy not so far, far away, a Chinese man is selling himself into slavery instead of having to give up his daughter to the one-child rule over there.
P.S. The title of this post comes from Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.
