Yes, I agree with the thoughts expressed in this article. Federer/Nadal, Wimbledon 2008 has to go down as one of the greatest sporting contests. The skill, will, physical conditioning, die on this court determination to win, is something all sports fans are aware of, but seldom get a chance to observe. They only dream of being a participant in such an event

Now this is how a tennis match is supposed to be played. If you watched the first point of the match you knew this was going to be special. This was the best two tennis players currently playing the game, at the top of their games, playing for the biggest prize tennis has to offer. They didn’t disappoint. The match more than lived up to its hype. We won’t see a match like this for a while. Or maybe we will, like next month

Jasperdo (Flickr User Name) has posted a real find for people interested in Los Angeles history. “This 48 page pamphlet was put out by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in 1928. It offers a fascinating look at Southern California during the 1920’s.” Jasperdo has posted all 48 pages on his Flickr account. Thanks Jasperdo. I love old photos and Los Angeles history.

I am quite sure that nobody thought Federer would lose 1-6, 3-6, 0-6. This is Federer. He might lose, he might even lose in straight sets, but not by that score. Unbelievable, but there it is. Reading the post match statistics is equally unbelievable.

This is interesting if you are a tennis player. Nothing most tennis players don’t know already, but well done and a little unique.

An interesting article. I suspect something that most of us could do better at.

Article in the editorial section of the WSJ discusses the relationship between the GDP, income tax rates, and income tax revenue to the government.

This article says that the reason old people seem to be forgetting things like names, etc. is because they are processing much more information than their younger friends.

I like it, so I’ll believe it. At least until I forget it tomorrow
