Since we live on a city street with a small yard, if we want to go out and play baseball, we have to play Wiffle Ball. I was surprised to find that there are specialized rules for Wiffle Ball. We’ve never bothered much with rules. You can also order customized Wiffle Balls and Bats.

I think this page has been up for a long time, but I’d never seen it. The Inscrutable 8-Ball Revealed is a dissection of a Magic 8-Ball. It’s a more complicated object than you might expect.

I’m not sure why I like goofy road-trip stuff like this, but I do. Via Pop Culture Junk Mail, Welcome to America: welcome signs for all 50 states. Of course, I had to look at the signs for every state I’ve driven in (15 so far, and I’ve also been to Louisiana, though I’ve never driven a car there). That’s pretty weak, I know. Give me a break — states out here in the West are HUGE. You can’t drive through five or six states in one day out here.

Adam mentioned this wonderful review of the Songs For Summer I posted about here a couple of months ago. Buy it — the proceeds go to charity, and the songs are great, too!
