1. Kako iznervirati navijače u 60 koraka - sjajan tekst o istoriji Golden State Warriorsa, o tome kako nikada nisu propustili priliku da propuste priliku:

That concluded a 20-year run  (1977-1997) with the following lowlights: five playoff appearances; 13 playoff victories total; three no. 1 overall picks and two other picks in the top three; eight players traded who ended up starting for a championship team or making a first- or second-team All-NBA (McHale, Parish, Webber, Hardaway, Richmond, Williams, Wilkes, King … and that doesn't include Payton), three future Hall of Fame coaches who passed through on their way to a better place (Popovich, Karl, Adelman), two valuable bench guys buried in Golden State who thrived elsewhere (Mario Elie and John Starks), an All-Rehab Starting Five (King, Richardson, Mullin, Washburn, Lucas) and a Hall of Fame Absolutely-Coulda-Drafted-Him Starting Five (Bird, Garnett, Kobe, T-Mac and Payton, with McHale coming off the bench).

2. Nekog lika nije mrzelo da u jednu sliku stavi sve svemirske brodove kojih se setio, iz filmova, serija i igara, kako bi se jednom za svagda rešile rasprave o tome koji je najveći. Zaključak - po svoj prilici, najveći je onaj iz Independence Day-a.


4. They are they, we are we - priča o Vujadinu Boškovu sa sajta In Bed with Maradona.


Wiseman speculated that what we call luck is actually a pattern of behaviors that coincide with a style of understanding and interacting with the events and people you encounter throughout life. Unlucky people are narrowly focused, he observed. They crave security and tend to be more anxious, and instead of wading into the sea of random chance open to what may come, they remain fixated on controlling the situation, on seeking a specific goal. As a result, they miss out on the thousands of opportunities that may float by. Lucky people tend to constantly change routines and seek out new experiences. 

Uzgred, zanimljivo je to da u srpkom jeziku postoji jedna reč "sreća" sa dva potpuno različita značenja - luck i happiness. (Slično važi za vreme - time i weather, ali to nema nikakve veze sa postom.)
6. Hrdjanje jedne civilizacije, sjajan post sa bloga Nekompetentna reakcija. Iz zaključka:
Svijet vjerojatno neće propasti sutra. Nema izvanzemaljskih osvajača koji će ga spaliti zrakama smrti. Ali neće biti ni ljepši. Civilizacija je krhak mehanizam koji hrđa ako ga se ne održava. Zapad je odustao od podmazivanja.
