When I restarted my Netflix subscription, the first thing I wanted to see was Mad Men. Not only is it one of the best television dramas I have ever seen (ranking up with Six Feet Under and Lost), it easily has the coolest opening credits sequence.  All in all, well worth the time investment to watch it.

8 gold medals, 7 world records broken. We might never see an achievement like this again in our lifetimes.

How are swimmers smashing so many world records?
I was discussing this with my coworkers today. It’s really quite incredible how dominant the swimmers are in Beijing. I do want to believe that Michael Phelps is just that good, but my true fear is that news will emerge concerning his use of performance-enhancing drugs, either during the games or afterwards, á la Marion Jones. Lets hope that never happens.

I don’t know how I used the Web before Inquisitor. The new version is particularly nice, and is a must-install for Safari users.
