Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” as visualized by Nick Jr. (née Noggin). I’m not a reggae fan, and I never considered Bob Marley to be children’s music, but I’ve always loved this song, and it’s an absolutely perfect kids song. Adding this to my Songs to Sing to Ike repertoire.

Fantasy baseball players are less than one step removed from throwing a 20d and wielding a battle axe.
It’s true. Fantasy baseball, if you’re an avid player like myself, is all about crunching numbers and developing formulas that help you decide which players should be on your team. And there are a LOT of numbers at your disposal, ready to crunch, just like in Dungeons & Dragons. So many stats, it sometimes causes my numbers-loving head to a splode.
I wasn’t quite sure what to do with this stuff once I found it, but I wanted to make sure to capture it somewhere. Lucky you. My fantasy teams are usually built by tracking a number of run-of-the-mill player stats, and now I’ve found this resource that helps explain a lot of the lesser-known stats (to me at least) as well. My teams won’t be the same this year.
“On the Shoulders of Giants: A Compilation,” created at Lookout Landing, is a collection of resources explaining all obscure baseball stats so even I can understand them.

Gathering all the stealth at my command I nosed the closet door open and silently stood behind him, clutching the sash—not an easy feat for a creature without opposable thumbs.

Three and a half years is entirely too long for a band to go without a new record. In the mean time, enjoy this John Roderick video from the excellent giveseattle.org compilation. /via MBV

But where do you get the hole punch then?
Muji + Lego, together for the first time. Should have happened a long time ago. I want one of these right now. But I need the hole punch, too. /via @andremora, who apparently found it @wired
