Some early Saturday ramblings

Wow...my bid for sleeping in lasted until 8. How I miss the days of high school -- when there wasn't work or something else going on -- when you slept until 12 noon or 1 in the afternoon! Now, well, it's time to play catch-up on some things around the house.

After going through some news this morning, some things caught my attention:
-New way of thinking about baseball statistics from the NY Times. A new system is being developed that will be able to measure exact distances for hitting, throwing, etc... (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/10/sports/baseball/10cameras.html?em)
-The "UFC" was front page on the LA Times this morning (http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-ufc-fertitta11-2009jul11,0,3089419.story)
-by the way, for movie fans, LA Times also has a piece about The Blair Witch Project turning 10 years old (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-witch11-2009jul11,0,4594569.story)
-The fact that there were some Picassos hanging in Austin is amazing. Story discusses the theft of 8 Picassos from a home in Austin of a former gallery owner. http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/2009/07/11/0711stolenart.html

Hope you have a good Saturday. Enjoy.
