chainlove.com

Sounds dirty. It isn’t.

chainlove.com is one of the many woot-like sites that offer a single deeply-discounted shopping offer at a time. Chainlove.com is bike-oriented. steepandcheap.com is the same idea only dedicated to camping/outdoors products. You can just check back on the throughout the day because they update a new offer when one sells out.

Any of you guys use either of these before? I don’t know anything about their shipping costs or reliability but I have a sinking suspicion that I will find out soon enough.

This doesn’t happen very often.

Mike Singletary is in the NFL Hall of Fame as a player because he was crazy and fearless, but mostly crazy. These are important characteristics of a professional linebacker. They don’t translate as well to the job of coaching professional football players.

I admire his old-school “play hard and shut up” mentality but I think they are going to kill him in the Bay Area press. Still, it’s refreshing to hear this sort of public shaming of the new breed of over-entitled, me-first, ‘I’ in team, modern athlete; even if I don’t think it will fly.

The photo blog at boston.com continues to highlight some of the best news photography on the web. If you’re a fan of photos you owe it to yourself to spend some time at The Big Picture. The most recent featured photos are by Yann Arthus-Bertrand from his series Earth From Above. Really amazing stuff.
