Reposting the Harvard-Yale Recap, since it's the only relevant thing I've ever posted here. Also, a couple people asked me about the music. The first song everyone knows, it's the Grey's Anatomy anthem "Chasing Cars" by Wimp Patrol. The good song is "Get Myself Into It" by The Rapture.

Charlie Day is secretly the funniest person on the television

My favorite show on TV, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, finally got official word on its return for a third season. This time around they'll get 15 episodes starting next summer. Huzzah!

Behold the crippling mediocrity of the new Bloc Party album, Weekend in the City. I'll have a lot more to say about this later, but for the moment I'll just say that the band behind my favorite album of 2005 looks like they already have the front-runner for most disappointing album of 2007.

ESPN tries to deconstruct Canadian hockey/cultural icon Don Cherry. Kevin and I watched plenty of his videos back in the day, so I've long had love for Don Cherry. If you're not familiar with him, check out one of his latest Coaches Corner segments.

Coworker Dave sent me this story about an Outside Magazine journalist who learned about performance enhancing drugs by actually taking them. Pretty fascinating stuff, both for the its insight into the history of doping as well as the eye-opening results:

After a few weeks of the HGH, I began to notice subtle changes. My skin started getting... better. Sun blotches that I'd had on my arms for a year faded away. One morning I woke up and a scar on my forehead—which I'd gotten from a mountain-bike endo two years earlier—was more or less gone. Even though I was training like a madman, I looked more rested. Younger. A little fresher.

Then I started to realize that my eyesight really was improving. I'd been thinking about getting glasses to read fine print on maps, but now there was no need. The glasses I used for night driving stayed in the glove compartment, unused, unnecessary.

Now $92k gets you 250 horsepower, a Lotus-spec chassis, and 0-60 in 4 seconds flat. Not the best deal, until you consider that it also gets the equivalent of 135 mpg. The car is the Tesla Roadster, and it's a shockingly sweet electric car.
