Baseball Pitches Illustrated | Lokesh Dhakar

Ever wonder what the various pitches in baseball mean and how they look from the batters perspective? I am a baseball fan and even I have a hard time keeping track of it all. This excellent collection of infographics will help greatly. (via Kottke)

I know it has been a while again since my last post. What can I say, I am busier than you <smile>. Once again, I give you the roadside attractions I have captured while driving around the intertubes in my big truck…
David Seah takes a turn with the Inka Pen, a highly portable pen that can attach to your keychain. He seems to like it a lot, despite the fact it gets him stopped by theTSA because it looks like it could be part of a bomb makers toolkit.
Looking to lead a “paperless” life? Well, that is impossible but you can reduce, digitize and organize it better. This is the best article/whitepaper I have seen thus far on how one person gets their paper on, and off. It’s 43 Folders so you know it’s legit.

The RoundCube Webmail Project

Nice looking webmail frontend. Recommended to me by Emory.

Chank Fonts Across America (via chankfonts ) – Our friend Chank is a You Tube star! I was a big fan of his work long before I met Bethany. When I found out he was a long time friend of hers, well, I though she was just about the coolest girl on the planet (and I still do).

Wality 52: My new, cheapo, fountain pen. Fine nib. Good writer for the cost (I paid about 15 bucks). Recommended to me by Ryan from Brassing Adds Character.

Google Flyback for Linux

Wow, this is kinda cool. Someone has hacked together a Time Machine type application for Ubuntu Linux. Since most (all?) of the technology is already there, all it needed was a nice GUI.
