West Ham have played down a half-time brawl between their fans and supporters of Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew in Ohio on Sunday.

6 Things You Never Knew About Oil
dihard:
1. Oil saved the whales from extinction. Oil’s first use was to replace whale blubber in lamps. That’s right, before oil, as early as 1645, whale oil was used to light lamps and blubber was used to make candle wax. Sperm whales had oil superior to other whales, and had larger heads filled with spermaceti, a waxy substance that made the best candles. By the 1770s, New England was...
Handwritten Typographers →
There’s great power in a typeface, but what’s always interested me more than the typeface is the designer behind it – why did they create the typeface? Where did their inspiration come from? How did they start?
Lately, I’ve been asking just one question, though. Something which has always intrigued me: these people that help us communicate … how do they themselves...

Urban Dictionary: Wassel →
Appearently my family has an entry in the Urban Dictionary. I guess to “wassel” is:
To dress up like a scientist just so one can masturbate while wearing a lab coat and safety goggles.
That’s just a typical Tuesday night for me… For once, Urban Dictionary nailed it.

Court: Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies →
FINALLY.
Wisconsin law bans sex with dead bodies, the state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday in reinstating charges against three men accused of digging up a corpse so one of them could have sex with it.
For the foreseeable future at the office, I’ll be working with Grails for a couple website redesigns. It’s not a sexy language by any means, but at least it knows how to use a GString and plays nicely with Elvis. (Harhar! I’ve been waiting to bust that out for a while now.)

Dope but I’m wondering what happens to the Wings traditional New Year’s Eve game that happens at the Joe every year. Guessing it will not happen this year.

Useless Baseball Stats
Watching the Tigers win in 15 just now the annoucers brought up Ichico’s stats against Todd Jones in his career. It got me thinking of all the useless information baseball announcers use in their broadcasts.
Do we really need to know how a batter has hit against a team in their career? I mean, nowadays, players turn over more than Paris Hilton on a first date. Why not just tell us their...

The Animation Show →
Went to see The Animation Show Vol. 4 tonight on the big screen. I had a great time watching every skit that was in it, although my favorite was a French skit called Raymond (watch it here). For a few laughs, I would highly suggest it. Check the schedule for a theater around you.

Larry Harmon, Longtime Bozo The Clown, Dead At 83 →
I remember watching Bozo every Sunday morning on WGN growing up. I always wanted to play the “throw the ping pong ball into the bucket for great prizes” game.
Umm, what the hell is this? →
Google has been ordered to turn over all of its electronic records of the videos watched by users on YouTube to Viacom. The 12 terabytes of data include records of every video watched by every user, including the user’s login name (if any) and IP address.
Two questions: Why does Viacom want this information and why is the court ruling in their favor?!

Laconica : Your own hosted Twitter →
Seems interesting. Open source project based off the Twitter “microblogging” model. I might try installing this myself. Take a peek at the test page.

It's 5:54am and I'm on Tumblr.
Why am I not sleeping? I should also note that I thought about making this post at 5:16am but I got too into reading my dashboard so here I am.

I think all us UM fans do as well. Brain did a great job on the redesign, the only thing I can hope is that Drupal doesn’t stand in the way of us getting our recruiting fix. As a person who has dealt (*ahem* fought) with Drupal I...
