- Happy 14th birthday, Google!
- Here's a good tip from DD: don't store your unused coffee in the refrigerator!
- Google added street view for the ocean, which is pretty awesome.

- A day in the life of Aaron Ramsey is a boring day.
- Enjoy Jimmy Fallon's history of TV theme songs.
- Is your profession one of the 10 listed that needs coffee most?
- Bristolmetrics.
- This post on the shitty NFL is good for a few quotes: "The three-plus hours that a standard game lasts is 50 percent advertising, 25 percent weirdly protracted replay reviews, 20 percent Phil Simms ritually murdering the idea of communication, and 5 percent football."
"I settle for the NFL’s bullshit because they get me high enough not to mind. But during the ample non-football interludes caused by players getting carted off the field, TV timeouts, Chris Berman, replay delays, and other incessant reminders of shittiness, I think more and more about how I spend one of the two days I get off work every week, for a third of the calendar, watching something shitty, just because it reminds me of football."

- Meet the new SBNation.com. Man does it look better than the old. Except the font is a little light for me.
- Well, now I want a baby gibbon.
- Yeah, time to die, HIMYM.
- The White Sox announcing team of Hawk and Stone (OK, essentially just Hawk) is the most biased in baseball. Shocking!
- Funbag.

- Free wifi in the city is a good thing. How about adding it to Metra/CTA as well??
- I enjoy seeing Ozzie struggle in Miami.
- The 30 (or 15, really).
- Chicago is on its way to saving pedestrian lives. And annoying drivers.
QotD: "We've asked the league to make sure that there is a sideline concussion expert at every game and - believe it or not - they're fighting us on that, too. So where we come out on this is, one, we will continue to make sure that our players are informed and vocal about their opposition to having second-rate people on the field to make sure that their health and safety is protected. And we continue to look at whether or not we've got legal claims against the National Football League for violations of the CBA or violations of their obligation to keep the workplace as safe as possible." - DeMaurice Smith, NFLPA executive director

- I generally find Jesus Diaz really annoying, but I agree with him here. That's not to say he isn't still being annoying, but I think he's right that you don't need a case for your iPhone. His analogy to wrapping your couch in plastic is spot on. Unless you plan on re-selling your device later on, which I'm pretty sure most people don't, then why bother?

- Did you know that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Yarrr!
--- Language Log is getting in on the fun!
- Here's a view on the referee lockout in the NFL, and its relative place among the other issues the NFL faces.
- Oh look, Chris Ryan is here to talk about yesterday's match between Man City and Real Madrid. It's like the Reducer only not the Reducer. I miss you, Reducer. I miss you like I miss an annoying twitch once it's gone.
- Play this fun game where you guess what old electronics used to cost when they first came out. Really makes me reconsider shelling out hundreds for the latest smartphone when I know that 15 years from now it will be in a game like this.
- Bristolmetrics.
- Meet Zeus, the world's tallest dog.
- I should write some slam poetry on my love for Nick Offerman. But for now, his on bacon will have to do.
--- Speaking of Parks, watch this long video!
----- Annnnd here's the Hangout.
- Cool dog on trampoline! [via Matt]

- I sure do love the Streisand Effect.
- The White Sox will travel the least among AL teams next season, which means they will at least make it to the World Series.
- I'm not sure why I hadn't concluded before reading this article that many NFL fans only exist because of fantasy/gambling. After all, gambling's the only reason I care about the NFL. Also, this guy is totally Brian:
"When he missed it, I cheered a terrific Cardinals victory, but a guy behind me groused. 'I got Gostkowski on my team,' he said. 'I need those points.'"
- The 30.
- Remember when Jay Mariotti disappeared for a while? Yeah. Those days are over.

- Here's definitive proof that Apple (and other companies) can just crank out the same thing year after year and most people wouldn't notice.
- EPL is on Fox three times in the next three months! But they'll be tape-delayed... LAMESAUCE.
- For those of you not familiar with the concept of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, read here first. Got it? OK, now go to Google and type in "bacon number" followed by the name of an actor. For example, bacon number nick offerman.
- eBay has a new logo. I think it is unoriginal and sucks.
- This week's Jamboroo focuses on how "football is the hardest sport to explain to children and stupid people." I really don't remember learning the sport, but I definitely agree with that statement. I also think that statement helps explain why football is a stupid sport. If it's difficult to explain, then it's not intuitive. If it's not intuitive, then it's stupid.
- Finally someone answered the question we're all dying to know: what if baseball's foul lines ran on forever?

- The iPhone 5 was revealed today - see how it stacks up against the competition. I'm kind of disappointed. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the 5 doesn't seem revolutionary in any way.
- Along with the new iPhone came iOS 6. Here's what you need to know, if you need to know anything at all.
- Oh my god, Notre Dame, just fucking give up your "independence" already. Nobody likes you!
- Star Wars Day at US Cellular Field/Sox Park/The Cell/The Joan/Comiskey Park.
- A weekly series from The Classical on Arsenal? YES PLEASE.

Sorry for no post yesterday - blame GoDaddy.
- Comparing payroll to wins in baseball is always a treat. Especially when you see that the highest spending clubs don't necessarily do the best.
- Pass some time by playing the kerning game. I got 100 four times, and an overall score of 86 (that one 60 I got really hurt!).
- Seattle's working hard to get NBA and NHL teams. Good!
- Funbag.
- Poor, poor Astros.

- How does your team rank in the Ultimate Team Rankings? White Sox are 69, NICE.
- Of course Chris Berman isn't going anywhere. We all knew that!

- Ice cream nachossssssssss.
- Parks and Rec bloopers! Bloopers always make me wish I were on the shows. They look like they have so much fun.
- Will Cesc come home? I think that'd be pretty weird, but I'm OK with it. I'd take back all those mean things that I've said...
- The Jamboroo is back. Did you miss it; Bristolmetrics.

- Funbag; EPL Power Rankings; The 30.
- Meet the carnival game ringer.
- Interesting article on Portsmouth and their attempt to stay alive.
