It's Robbie Cano, don't ya know?
A lot of baseball-themed stuff recently. I suppose that when you’re trying to watch as many games out of 162 as your time allows, it might embed itself in your brain a bit. Last night’s Home-Run Derby didn’t help, either. A intriguing story for those that missed it: not just that Robinson Cano hit 12 in the final round, breaking the record, but that his father, who pitched a...
Falling Up.
Recently, I suffered a somewhat frightening accident; eight weeks ago, I fell approximately twenty-five feet, or the equivalent of two-and-a-half residential stories. I won’t dwell on what happened, because most of the people close to me already know, but suffice it to say that the incident was jarring in both the physical and non-physical senses of the word.

The NHL, of course. The only American professional sports league to ever cancel a season due to labor diputes might secretly be wishing the...

Where's Marty?
Watching the New Jersey Devils this year has been excruciating, and not because they’re a terrible team. In fact, they’re a talented team in a tough division (Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York) with a good mix of wily veterans (see: Elias, Patrik) and exciting young players (see: Zharkov, Vladimir; Fraser, Mark) that just seems to lose focus and catch some rotten luck. However, the...

Separation Anxiety.
Now that tumblr is back up and running, I can post something from the end of last week. Personal politics aside, I find the recent disregard for the separation of Church and State particularly unsettling.

Go!
After making my own interpretation of a classic typographic element for the blog link, I couldn’t resist playing with it a little bit more.
