Late Links

Back in the Queen City (more on that Chicago trip in the next few days) and back to the links if a bit late... 

• Chris Sims continued to be awesome - 18 Best Batman Panels (special shout out to #5 which comes from an awesome and underrated comic) and Ask Chris #13 (including a great run-down of Superman's powers)
• Sound Opinions - solid, hour-long discussion show about music from WBEZ in Chicago...gonna sign up for the podcast right now
• Revisiting Bill James's Best Player Debate - amazing how thoroughly Bonds dominated and how Pujols has solidly held the crown since...nice methodology, could use better visual presentation
• I am a Host at the Olive Garden - nice, finite web comic
• Wooden's Values Learned in the Heartland - I can't possible add anything to the emotional outpouring from the passage of John Wooden, so I'll just redirect you to this article
• Adidas in a galaxy far, far away - if you haven't seen the Adidas/Daft Punk/Star Wars commercial yet, give it a try
• IBM Muppets - Turns out Jim Henson made a series of training films for IBM early in his career.
• Movie Cliches - it's just a text list, but it's funny
• Startup Redesigns the Textbook - in light of tomorrow's post, this might not be a direction in which I want to head, but it still looks like a far more useful version of the iPad
• Beck and Charlotte Gainsbourg has this week's freakiest video..."Heaven Can Wait" by Keith Schofield
• Greatest Celtic Team of All Time - Greatest Lakers Team of All Time - The Celtic team (McHale, Bird, Russell, Cousy, Havlicek) would be unstoppable...the Lakers team is weak at power forward (Hairston was my pick) but has to have the greatest three-deep center position ever (Chamberlain, Kareem, Shaq)
• Six Degrees of Black Sabbath - connect any two musical artists automatically
