    If you're a baseball stathead, cool exchange between Neyer and another sabermetrician on adjusting a player's relative value based on the difficulty of the defensive position of the player.

  • Joe Posnanski has waited all his life for an 0-16 football team - Joe Posnanski - SI.com
    I, too, am waiting for an 0-16 season from the Lions. Jon, Chris and I have agreed to treat ourselves to a steak dinner if the Lions hit the ought mark.

    If you like baseball and don't already read Joe P's personal blog, definitely check it out. Sports Illustrated runs one column a week of his.

  • Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T | iPhone Central | Macworld
    I mentioned this program (in its full form, not limited to just AT&T WiFi for iPhone access) to Chris and Kristi on Saturday. Extremely useful. Makes logging into T-Mobile and AT&T hotspots a one-click procress, rather than the major aggravation it was previously.
