Profile: Timothy Ferriss



















I read this ridiculous article in the New Yorker a few weeks ago profiling Silion Valley self-help guru Tim Ferriss (4-hour Work Week, Escape 9-5, etc.) This guy seems like a tool but has found his niche and is making good money doing it.

Check out HERE.

Do Americans Hate Football?


















That's the question the New Yorker attempted to answer in a brief "comment" recently. Just to be clear, we're talking here about Euro-style footie, not the NFL. As the World Cup draws to a close (congrats Spain!) I thought I'd wind down my coverage as well. This great piece discusses the linguistic origin of the word "soccer" (it's British btw) and general American attitude toward the sport.

Bottom Line: "Soccer may never be 'America’s game' (though it’s already one of them), but America is game for soccer." Sounds like progress to me.
