Quoted: Scientists are studying sled dogs that run the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in an attempt to understand why the dogs are “fatigue-proof.”

Quoted: A new cricket league is trying to spin off India’s colonial inheritance into a money-making symbol of a brash, emerging nation.

This is a handy feature of Google Docs I didn't know about...

Quoted: A new (to us) item in the Edit pulldown menu lets you apply standard CSS styles to your Google Doc. A Google Group exists to help you work out any kinks in the process, and a Googler offers a beautiful resume template (available for you to copy into your own Docs account) all styled with CSS.

Looks like a great site about Wordpress and blogging in general.

Just trying to find some new lunch places near our office. Reviews are mixed for this place -- but that might be because they apparently try to make their food healthy.

Quoted: Just got back from here, and I thought it was pretty good. The teriyaki chicken bowl had tasty tender pieces of chicken and very good steamed vegetables. They give you a lot of chicken, which is good because I got full and didn't finish the rice (bad carbs!).

Quoted: Scientists pinpoint a reason why people with Indian ancestry may be more prone to weight problems.

Quoted: Is it just me, or do the announcements we hear from Salesforce seem to just make a lot more sense than a lot of the tie-ups we hear about on the consumer side of the Web? Last month, the company announced a deal with Google to launch Salesforce for Google Apps, and from what I’ve seen in my brief tour of Visualforce, we’re about to see a lot of really useful applications being cranked out by developers in the Salesforce community. It certainly adds more credence to the theory that Facebook apps are just for fun.

Quoted: Small sites (less than 1M page views/month) earn 3x better on their remnant ad inventory than medium (>1M page views/month) and large Web sites (>100M page views/month).

The trick, in my opinion, if you are a larger site is to slice your inventory into smaller (and higher CPM) pieces.

An accurate comparison imho...

Quoted: Should we be worried the Mariners are baseball’s equivalent of the Bush Administration? Fiscally undisciplined with negligible positive returns? Check. Marketed as veteran leadership despite any veterans with leadership experience? Check. Sloppy management reinforced with sloppy execution on the ground? Check.
