Never seen that first one, but I love the second. It always makes those lists of top sports calls.

Sunday was the biggest day of the year in auto racing, and it produced three outstanding finishes. First, all hell breaks loose at the Monaco Grand Prix as the leaders approach a gaggle of slower cars in the closing laps.

[VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZc_u2lfOeo[/VIDEO] Finally, NASCAR's longest race meets a stirring conclusions as drivers stretch their cars' fuel mileage to its limits.

Unless you get screwed like I did.  The previous few years at MIT had featured then-president Bill Clinton, then-vice-president Al Gore, then-UN secretary general Kofi Annan, and the year before (which would have been my year had I not done a 5-year bachelor/masters program) were Click and Clack from NPR's Car Talk (MIT alumni).

My year was Carly Fiorina, who for all the importance of women breaking the glass ceiling in engineering and tech companies, basically oversaw dismantling HP from an interesting company into a commodity PC and printer company.  She's not even technically minded, she's basically pure businessperson, so really didn't have much connection to MIT at all.  Sure, she was the first female Fortune 20 CEO and MIT was (and maybe still is) trying really hard to encourage women in engineering, but she was about as far from an engineer as you can get so she didn't even work as a good example. It was really lame.  But I'm not bitter or anything.......

Tanner Hall's terrible fail

My cousin is the guy holding the camera in that video. He told me that was a pretty bad day for everyone involved....

I thought this was really funny:

Also, I recently discovered the Showtime series Dexter. It's excellent, save for maybe season three, which IMO is the only bad season, even though Dexter does take up golf in season 3. Here are my favorite instrumental pieces from the show. The music on the show is great.

"There are no secrets in life. Just hidden truths...that lie beneath the surface...."

"I wish she'd stop doing that. It's one of those weird mating rituals I just don't understand... But that bloodless body... this guy may have exceeded my own abilities."

"Score one for the little wooden boy."

Totally unrelated, but this song reminds of golfing:

Conditioning is so important.
