Typos

I thought this blog of note was interesting.
http://librarytypos.blogspot.com/  Typo of the Day for Librarians: "a group of librarians from all over the world with a common interest - keeping our online catalogs free of errors". What a unique idea for a blog.

Best of Us

The International Olympic Committee in partnership with YouTube has launched a new site called The Best of Us Challenge. The Best of Us Challenge is designed to give average people a chance to test their unique athletic abilities against those of real Olympians. Through The Best of Us Challenge, participants "compete" against Olympians in unique physical challenges such as spinning an umbrella or balancing a stick your foot. To enter, select a challenge, create a short video of yourself completing the challenge, then upload the video to the YouTube The Best of Us Challege page. Winners of the contest can win t-shirts, video games, posters, and possibly a trip to the 2010 Winter Olympics.  http://thebestofuschallenge.olympic.org/




The video below is Asafa Powell's challenge to balance a stick on your foot.
