This is a Tesseract

(Per Wikipedia)

In geometry, the tesseract, also called 8-cell or octachoron, is the four-dimensional analog of the (three-dimensional) cube, where motion along the fourth dimension is often a representation for bounded transformations of the cube through time. The tesseract is to the cube as the cube is to the square; or, more formally, the tesseract can be described as a regular convex 4-polytope whose boundary consists of eight cubical cells.

Neat Webpage

This is a very cool page with inconic photos recreated as if it they were in a computer game. The FAQs on this page about how they were created, what each image is, etc. is also pretty neat. Below is Quang Duc burning himself in protest of the Vietnam War.

A Joke Heard On Halloween

Senator Bill Frist dressed up as Groucho Marx and handed out candy to kids that trick-or-treated at his house. Nancy Pelosi dressed up as Karl Marx and took the candy from the kids who worked hard to trick-or-treat and gave it to those kids who stayed home.

UK Upset Highlights

Below is the game winning pass, with Tom Leach's play by play. This is classic.



Another video of the pass. Note how incredibly loud the crowd is in this one. Unbelievable.

UK Upsets Number 9 Louisville!

What a game. Unbelievable. Andre Woodson to Steve Johnson on a 57 yard pass with 28 seconds left to take the lead. Here is a highlight montage from ESPN.

Takled the Number Right Off

I don't think I have ever seen this before - Alabama linebacker Rashad Johnson (49) had the numeral 9 knocked off his helmet during this play. My immediate inclination was to dismiss this photograph as one of the many photoshopped pictures floating around the internet - but this picture was taken by an AP photographer. Its the real deal. Nothing like a little hard hitting, SEC football.

NFL Coverage Maps

Here is a link to a pretty neat web site: NFL TV Distribution Maps, which shows which regional games will be shown in what parts of the country. Though I'm not nearly as passionate an NFL fan as I am of the college game, I always find these coverage maps interesting to see.

Checking In

Right now I'm in the ATL airport with a few free moments until I have to hop on a plane. I just spent the past week in Greenwich, CT - possibly the most ridiculous town I have ever seen. I've included a small sample of pictures that neatly sum up the area. No kidding, as I was walking back from dinner last night, I passed two Corvettes, two Porches, a Lamborghini and an Aston Martin. The majority of the money comes from the ubiquitous hedge funds which are seemingly in every other office building. The last several weeks have been pretty rough for a lot of the "quant" funds, but most of them will be able to escape from the sub-prime mortgage mess.



Two weeks ago I was in Boston, and got to catch a sweet game at Fenway Park. Though I am a staunch opponent of the Red Sox, any sports fan has to recognize the special environment at Fenway.

The week before that, I was out in San Diego, and got to stay at the Torrey Pines Hilton, where my hotel room looked out upon the 18th fairway of the Torrey Pines golf course. Again, I am not a huge golf fan, but looking onto a perfectly manicured course is something anyone should be able to appreciate.

Hopefully my life will slow down a bit and I will be able to get back to posting here regularly on the Julep. Thanks for still checking it out.
