pAfter hearing it was fantastic, I started watching IFriday Night Lights/I–and the recommendations were right. I have little interest in American football and the show still sucked me right in./p
pWatching anything to do with American football, whether real or fiction, you quickly realize that the specter of permanent, career-ending injury hovers over every player, from high school to the pros. After doing a little research, I found that paradoxically, it seems the improvement of football padding design has actually Iincreased/I the amount and severity of injuries; when players are armored up and feeling secure, they have a tendency to hurl themselves into other players with much greater velocity and ferocity than they would if they were playing, say, unprotected rugby.br /

Outside of what we use to feed meters and buy penny candy, we’ll admit we don’t know a thing about the United States Mint other than that they make those shiny pieces of metal. That’s apparently the problem they’ve been having and they’ve hired branding firm Siegel + Gale to fix it. Launching a new branding campaign called “Connecting America Through Coins” (pdf), the firm has focused their first efforts on both a new logo, featuring a mid-air flipped coin, and redesigning the Mint’s Annual Sets, annual collections of coins that are “a significant portion of [the Mint]’s retail business.” We dig the new look of the box sets they’ve redesigned and would buy one if we had any coins of our own. Other than selling these sets, we’re still not entirely sure why we need to be more aware of the Mint, but we were happy to hear from them and see that they’re making the effort. Now please send us 20 boxes. We need them for review purposes.

pUS-based artist Sergio Garcia’s 50″-tall tricycle is the kind of thing you give to your kid after they’ve been bad, as a sort of psychological punishment. What would be really awesome is if your little hellion not only learned to ride it, but powered it down a hill and completed a loop-de-loop at the bottom.br /
