Fantasy Formula 1

March 4, 2010 4:15 pm

For those of you who are interested in Formula 1 – come and join me at Reality F1, a fantasy F1 league game. It does look pretty fun: you “buy” a bunch of cars and “hire” a bunch of drivers and get points depending on how well they did on the races during this 2010 season. I have opened a mini league just for readers of this blog – it’s unsurprisingly called “lostfocus league” and the password to join is wroomwroom.

I also started a league for my co-workers – if you’re one of them, ping me for the URL and password.

Crazy or Disciplined?

"Sometimes our shared memories don't even feature the same mammals, themes, or points. The scary part is that we don't realize these differences until we have some reason to compare memories, which doesn't come up that often. Every now and then there will some independent way to verify whose memory is accurate, and it is sobering to discover how many of the problems are on my end."
