Watching friends play a physically aggressive soccer game.
- dalas: This game combines two of my least favorite things: running and being scared.
- Mike: It's like a horror movie!

I listened to a bunch of archived episodes of a radio show last month, then called in to the show and got on the air. It was like watching a DVD box set of Seinfeld, then calling Jerry’s apartment during an episode, and seeing him answer.

Our health care system is something like an old and slowly sinking cruise ship. Passengers on board the ship are having a reasonably enjoyable time. The food and entertainment are pretty good, and everyone still gets clean towels every day. However, in order to keep the ship afloat, from time to time the crew cancels the tickets of a few passengers and tosses them overboard. At first most of the passengers were not aware this was happening. Or, if it was happening, passengers rationalized that the people tossed overboard must have done something to deserve it. But now enough people have been tossed overboard that most passengers were at least acquainted with one of the tossed, and knew he or she was not a bad person. Further, it is dawning on many that the selection process is random and could fall on anyone at any time, not just those in the cheapest cabins. Meanwhile, slowly and imperceptibly, the ship continues to sink. The passenger-tossing strategy is just postponing the eventual drowning of everyone on board. So even though the cruise is pretty sweet for those remaining on the ship, there is a growing sentiment that there ought to be another way to keep the ship afloat.

THANKS FOR MAKING DIRECT MESSAGES A PAIN IN THE ASS, TWITTER
Building a fancy graphical email to deliver a 140-character direct message is like giving someone a pair of scissors wrapped with a box and a bow. And leaving a typo in it (did you write your site copy on an iPhone?) is like using Christmas paper on a birthday gift.
Also it’s real convenient how you stuck some boilerplate text before the actual message so I can’t get a gist of the content on preview.
