Notes from conference on NY Games community - (USA)
Following are my notes from the first panel of Friday’s min-conference, “GAME THEORY/PLAY MONEY”, sponsored by DIGRA-NY. This is a new initiative to bring together the NY games community. The conference looked fascinating, but I unfortunately had to leave after the first panel. BIOGRAPHIES OF SPEAKERS: James Grimmelmann is Associate Professor at New York Law School and a member of its Institute for Information Law and Policy.

Your Friend and Mine, Mad Dog - (USA)
Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that 11.9% of all adult American males are known by the nickname “Mad Dog”, while the remaining 88.1% have a friend or are related to another adult American male nicknamed “Mad Dog”. We know these figures are correct because if you add them together the resulting sum is 100%. A Mad Dog, Muncie, Indiana. Viewed from the point of view of American females, 100% of ”Mad Dogs” are undesirable vestiges of your bachelor life, when your abilit

Leisurely: Broomball - (USA)
This is the start of a new column for us here at We Love DC. We’re going to do pieces on a lot of the different “leisure sports leagues” that are organized here in this area. Sure, some of them will be more leisurely than others, and our starting sport is certainly one of the more intense ones. Are you in a leisure sports league? Are you interest in fame and fortune, though legally we can guarantee neither? Email us with your story at tom at welovedc dot com. Swinging by tbridge The drive u

Cake or Death - (USA)
I was reading Mrs Jones' blog earlier tonight, and enjoying it very much. The lady can write, she has excellent taste in music, and she knows her Molesworth. I often want to slip into Molesworth mode on this blog, because I often do so in my head, but I always fear no one will get it, eheu. Mrs Jones wrote this rather amazing post about the day she nearly died.She asked if other people had had brushes with death. I've had a near miss, and as I started writing about it, it quickly got too long to

Learn How to be Super fit Using 10-Minute Exercise Bursts - (USA)
by Benedict Hunter The recommended amount of exercise determined by fitness gurus and physicians is 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. This may be more than you have time for, especially if your job is demanding or you have children.

Paranoid vs. Optimistic: Corporate Fans - (USA)
Every Jets fan has two sides. We are all schizophrenic; we alternate between paranoid, neurotic, sobbing Suzys and rabid, take-on-the-world hope mongers. That’s why I think it’s so interesting to look at our prospects for the season through the lens of the paranoid fan, and through that of the optimistic one. The Jets aren’t just having trouble filling seats in their new stadium, they’re having trouble filling seats in their current stadium. It appears that with a recession, rising ticket p

10 Odd Discontinued Olympic Sports - (USA)
With softball and baseball having their last showing at this year’s Olympics, it seems apt to look back at some of the events that have graced past Olympic Games. As you will see, some of them are extremely bizarre and one wonders how they ended up at the Olympics in the first place. 10 Swimming Obstacle Race A highly unusual, yet undeniably fun race, swam over 200 meters. Competitors first had to swim to a pole, climb up and down the pole, then swim a bit, clamber over 2 boats, swim under

Summer Style: Decorate With Summer Sports - (USA)
This weekend, while shopping at the Alameda Flea Market , I nearly bought a beautiful vintage croquet set. Now, when I see how the set has been used in this space, I'm kicking myself for not making the purchase! This foyer is practically bursting with Summer spirit. To cultivate a similar sense of fun and spirit in your entry, add an often-used Summer sports set to your foyer. Pile bocce balls in a sturdy metal bucket, or artfully arrange croquet mallets in an umbrella stand. It'll add some f

Take it away, Big Dood: This weekend marks the preliminary final contests for Australia’s National Rugby League Championship.

In a Missionary Position - (USA)
The negativity is rampant here at Gheorghe lately, and I've been guilty of it myself. Not sure if it's because we just had Tax Day (and if you took a beating like I did despite not making a fortune, I feel your pain), if it was the Masters meltdown, or just "Dancing With the Stars" not going the way you dweebs want. But the frenzy of "I hate ____", "I wish ____ would die," and "_____ is a pasty, goofy, upstate New York Spicoli wanna-be with huge feet, a five-year-old's diet, and a wardrobe like

Millions of golf enthusiasts who will watch the Masters Tournament this weekend have waxed endlessly about the game's mystical power and its hold on the human mind.

I am not sure if I was so attracted to the Optic collection that I missed the Campus collection or is this a new 2(x)ist collection for 2009? I don't see it on Skiviez yet, so I think 2(x)ist is quietly introducing this new collection. But how in the world that I did not even see it? The Campus collection is adorable! It is only available in contour pouch brief, boxer brief, v-neck tee, trunk, and square-neck tank. Sorry, no jock. Here is the description from 2(x)ist: "2(x)ist turns to a

The Free-dom Of Summer - (USA)
One of the things I love about summer is the simple fun you can have without spending any money. Sure, you can spend tons and go to a water park or any number of things if you want to and that’s fine but if you don’t want to spend a lot you really don’t have to. Summer, in comparison to the other seasons, has SO many more fun things to do for FREE. Yesterday I took the three girls to a family member’s camp on a lake. We spent most of the day there, where they played in the sand, threw about 5
