Ronaldinho is a magician with the ball, or is he? (view the videos!)

Ah, the Irony
Via BoingBoing, I ran across this item, about how a supporter of the DMCA and DRM technologies found he couldn’t access 2 years worth of television programs on his own video recorder. For those who aren’t familiar with Mr. Giovanetti’s work, he’s a frequent and pugnacious commentator on intellectual property issues, and an avowed supporter
Immigration T-shirts Available
I followed through and created the t-shirt, you can get yourselft one at my zazzle store. This is the “Original Illegal Immigrants” t-shirt.
Latino Facts
Via Cafe Hayek comes this link to some basic facts about Latinos. I’d love to write more about the current immigration debate, but so far all it has inspired me to do is want to make a t-shirt with a picture of either the founding fathers or some pilgrims with the caption “The Original Illegal
Is water a human right?
I’m not sure what to take away from two links I came across this morning.

DC United Decades best XI

The early keepers had such solid defenses in front of them that it’s almost not fair. Advantage: Scott Garlick, cause he’s been a
I don’t care what color Bull you give me.
The atmosphere in the stadium was great, better than I remember last year’s home opener against Chivas. Kudos to the Metrostars for putting their short busses to use. It felt like playoff game at times, especially as DC equalized in the second half. Eskandarian, I’m so glad you scored and scored early. I was afraid
Convey & Hahneman in EPL
Reading thumps Derby County 5-0 to win the Coca-Cola Championship, one week after earning promotion to the Premier League and with 5 games to spare. Reading midfielder Bobby Convey, one of my favorite players during his time at DC United, also earned a Player of the Month award for March. Next season, Reading will be
