Sports + Graph = SportsGraph! “How many minutes has each team led in the Stanley Cup?” my friend Drew wondered the other night as we were watching the tail end of Game 5. Using the Sparkline feature in Excel 2010, I have looked at the minute-by-minute scores and the results are interesting. Despite the series […]

I’m running for charity at this year’s Broad Street Run, a ten-mile race in Philadelphia. I’m going to start at the back of the pack, and collect donations for every person I pass. This way, it incentivizes me to run faster, because every person I pass means more goes towards charity. The charities I am supporting […]

Long time, no post. Back in November of 2009, I decided that I needed some kind of fitness goal. I was involved in intramurals and used to walk a lot around campus back in college, but since that point my daily exercise now normally consists of video games. I decided that the Broad Street Run […]

Really, who needs a made up holiday? I resolved that instead of sulking around and thinking about being alone and heartbreak and girls on the […]

I’m introducing yet another serving of awesome on my site called “This May Only Be Interesting To I”, or TMOBITI for short.  Yes, it’s not grammatically correct, but TMOBITI is much better than TMOBITM (“This May Only Be Interesting To Me”).  Maybe I’ll come up with a snazzy logo soon. Now, for your first ever […]

I’m currently watching Game 3 of the World Series of the Phillies vs. the Rays, and they keep touting this stat of “100 season of futility” referring to the fact that in 25 years, the four Philadelphia sports teams (Eagles, Flyers, 76ers, and Phillies) have not won a national championship since the 76ers did it […]

Did you know that there are 5,726,805,883,325,784,576 possible combinations of ten-pin bowling games? More bowling stats here: http://www.balmoralsoftware.com/bowling/bowling.htm Also, did you know that there was such a thing as five-pin bowling?  Neither did I.  It’s apparently popular in Canada.  You have five pins set up in a V-shape (Think “Flying V” from Mighty Ducks).  Different […]
