Dear Me – Athletes Writing to Younger Selves

There are some particularly good letters among the tens published by ESPN.

Derek Jeter is a Horrible Defensive Shortstop

So says the Fielding Bible backed by four statistical studies.

Things like this are interesting. Advanced statistics are just now coming to hockey too, and they're equally interesting there.

Shark Week Promo Rehab Seal

Natalie thought this was a real newscast. 😛 😀

Driving Tips with Nate Doss

The Golfer and the Goose

This is the 4-minute animated short that Andrez Aguayo and I completed for our senior capstone class at DePaul University.

Feldberg Disc Driving Tips

Two good videos. These complement the one I posted yesterday.

Using the Core in Ultimate Frisbee

Moraine State Park

The last round of the PFDO is at Moraine State Park for amateurs. I will probably play MA2, for my first disc golf tournament.

Above is a video of "Mike C" (whom I've met) playing Moraine (quite well) with his buddy.

PFDO at Knob HIll

The first two rounds of the PFDO are at Knob Hill for amateurs. I will probably play MA2, for my first disc golf tournament.

Above is a video of "Mike C" (whom I've met) playing Knob Hill with his buddy.

Toad the Wet Sprocket’s New Album

I'm not kidding. I've backed it. It's on KickStarter.

Update: The new songs are pretty good. A second listening when I can pay more attention is definitely required.

Heel Striking More Economical?

It turns out it may be, but most likely isn't.

RunBlogger has more on this. With more here.

Are Coders Worth It?

Yeah. Of course! 😀

But it's still worth reading this article.

My Questions for Tim Cook

My questions for Tim Cook by Horace Dediu is a good read.

My favorite? The fourth.

Android’s Market Share is a Joke

The joke:

Two farmers bought a truckload of watermelons, paying five dollars apiece for them. Then they drove to the market and sold all their watermelons for four dollars each. After counting their money at the end of the day, they realized that they’d ended up with less money than they’d started with.

“See!” said the one farmer to the other. “I told you we shoulda got a bigger truck.”

The rest (actual information).

Media Consumption

Wow.

In 2009, according to the media research company eMarketer, the average U.S. adult consumed about 10 hours and 32 minutes of media per day. (That's including multitasking, so if you spend an hour browsing on your iPad while watching TV, that counts as two hours.) By 2012 that total was up over an hour to 11:39 per day. That's almost eight hours more per week, per person. Now multiply that by America.
