As seen today on BusinessWeek.com . Let's say these balls are all they are said to be. What predictable impact could this have in World Cup competition? Is weather an issue in Germany, what's the typical summer like over there, amount of precipitation to be expected, in what region and so on (e.g. are all stadiums open?). In wet conditions, this should favor fast, run & gun teams, and hinder

Going to the big apple for a few days. Can't wait. Been there many times, but it's been a long time since last time I went, pre-9/11. Get ready for some pictures! [update: I've put a photo album on facebook]

According to a survey conducted by Popular Science magazine, Minneapolis ranks numero uno in U.S. cities when it comes to technology. The criteria -- connected citizens, transportation innovation, high-tech jobs, education, use of energy, hospitals & emergency response -- are interesting. Some things are familiar to all who know a little about this city, like medtech (e.g. Medtronic) innovations,

Tonight Green Team opened a can o' whoop ass upon Bitch Better Have My Money, the head ref's team. Apparently, tonight wasn't Mr. Pimp's payday. I must say it felt really good to beat that cocky s.o.b. who the week before, and I quote, had told me 'next week you will feel the wrath of my team'. We beat 'em 7-0, in the first half no less, so the game ended by mercy rule. Not bad given that we

The smoking ban in Minneapolis will be effective starting March 31st. Not that it matters, but here's my 2 cents worth...Whose 2 cents is this?As a recent ex-smoker still trying to shut down triggers and the cravings that one gets now and again, these days I welcome anything that reduces my exposure to other smokers. My biggest trigger is alcohol, that's the only time I really crave a smoke, late

My girlfriend Johanna suggested I watch a movie called The Man Without a Past. No particular reason besides the fact that it's a Finnish movie and she's from Finland. She's a good ambassador to all things Finnish :) A few impressions on this movie: Very atmospheric, I mean ambiances and tones are felt, almost brushed. Very slow paced, mostly about character development. Something very sad, a

Looking back at it, I'm still baffled as to how the Democrats managed to lose the election. Against such an apparently weak incumbent. Not so weak after all. But it's obvious that the country is polarized, party lines mean something again after being blurred for a number of years. Reconciliation isn't on the horizon, even on a clear day.

According to the U.S. Metric Association (talk about about being misunderstood!), the kelvin (K) temperature scale is an extension of the degree Celsius (°C) scale -- itself devised by dividing the range of temperature between the freezing and boiling temperatures of pure water at standard atmospheric conditions (sea level pressure) into 100 equal parts -- down to absolute zero, a hypothetical
