Two Dishes But To One Table

Web as Drudge

Web surfing is almost non-existant now for me.  I only use the internet for extremely utilitarian purposes.   I miss the old days when I would make the rounds, follow specific places hang out on certain sites.   Now its used for checking grades and writing email. 

You can see what your most frequented sites are by going in Firefox to History/Show all history/More than 6 months.     Then in the column of "Number of Visits" click the top to sort the visits.  

The only interesting sites I see in my top 40 are ones that I forced myself to watch by making them my home page at various times.  

July Sports in Europe

The easiest one-stop way to get LOTS of coverage of Tour de France and Women's World Cup 2011 is to go to The Guardian UK.

The Tour is being led by a Norwegian named Thor, pronounced "tore" (no "H" sound). (standings here)  (Guardian coverage here)   They racers have already ridden almost 400 miles in 4 days.   Over mountains!   I can't even imagine.

There are still games to see in the World Cup which has been going on for a week or so.

The Women's World Cup is still choosing which teams will go on to the bracket stage.  Here is the bracket so far:

The Women's World Cup finishes on July 17th.  It is actually easy to find tv coverage of most of the games on ESPN2.  Standings here.   Guardian coverage here.
