- It’s always fun to check in with my colleagues in the Suspicious Cheese Lords, the male a cappella ensemble (specializing in Renaissance music) of which I was a member.

- In other Virginia Football related news, I just realized (thanks to the College of Arts and Sciences alumni newsletter) that I am, as they say, one degree removed from the oracles who decide the Bowl Championship Series rankings. Wes Colley, UVA Physics 1993, runs the Colley Matrix, a simple iterative calculation that starts with a team’s win-loss record and then factors in the win-loss records of its opponents, and on and on until the records converge.Interestingly, Wes’s story is also the story of how college football, in the form of the BCS, doesn’ |

- Looks like the Fresno Bee’s reporting wasn’t quite on the money. The Cavaliers will not be returning to the Independence Bowl; instead, Virginia accepted an invitation to the MPC Computers Bowl against a yet-to-be-named opponent. |

To make better sites — sites that are functional, beautiful, and "usable" — we have to break our design problems up into small independent chunks based on the real issues within our requirements.

Nothing wrong there. This is pre-election marketing material, and it expresses someone's personal view. It also does it in a stylish way. |

- From The OnionIraq Adopts Terror Alert SystemBAGHDAD—The Iraqi Department of Homeland Security recently released a 10-level, color-coded homeland security advisory system that will alert citizens to the risk of a terrorist attack within Iraq's borders. The country's current threat level is elevated, or Code Yellow-Orange. Citizens living in towns with populations of 1,500 or more should prepare for the smoke of burning vehicles to obscure the sun and expect hostages to be tortured for several days before being killed. Should the terror risk level rise to Code Orange-Yellow, it is likely that hostages will be left alive only long enough to dig their own graves.Oof, this was just too funny to pass up. |
