Thanks to the festive season, I’m currently enjoying being in the middle 14 straight days off from work for my “real world job”. And as usual, I went into the break with wild expectations of how productive I would be on the blog. But thanks in large part to family activities and obligations and catching up […]

  I feel like it’s getting a bit redundant when I say there was a lot for us to talk about this week on the Pondcast — a new nickname for the podcast that we’re adopting thanks to clever /r/soccer user TommyShambles — but once again it was true. Even though the Premier League featured a bunch of […]

Back during the World Cup, in addition to all of the articles and podcasts and events hosted, I made a World Cup wall chart that proved pretty popular with the kids on the internet. Some printed it out the bracket and pasted it up on their cubicle walls. Others went and hung them on their refrigerators. One guy […]
