I’m booked the week after next for another life-and-death battle of North Idaho paintball.
What can I use to get an edge on the competition?

Funtastics Adventure Racing Team
I set up a website for our newly formed Funtastics Adventure Racing Team.
The FARTs are those training for the Funtastics Adventure Racing Team. Chief FART evangelist is Dave Adlard from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
Five of us so far are training towards a race in California, September 2008 called Big Blue Adventure, Tahoe.
Adventure racing often includes route finding, running, scrambling, biking and paddling as a team for 6, 12, 24 hours or even longer. Obviously, we have to get in shape. Or be relegated to “support vehicle driver” … or “website editor” or some other loser job.
Our site is a central suppository repository of all things FART.

Tiger Looking For More Competitive Golf Tour
UPDATE – Mike Weir came back to beat Tiger this weekend.
ATLANTA—Following his dominating performance at this year’s Tour Championship, in which he not only ran free of the field with an overpowering eight-shot victory but also took home the first ever FedEx Cup Championship, 13-time major winner Tiger Woods told reporters Sunday that he is looking to participate in a more competitive golf tour during the 2008 season. “Don’t get me wrong—I love to play golf, I love to win, and I’ve loved the time I’ve spent on the PGA Tour, but winning this easily isn’t making me any better,” said Woods, … “It’s not about the money, as I’ll play for free if I know I’m being pushed to even half of my ability.” Woods added that he would consider playing certain PGA Tour events next year if Commissioner Tim Finchem allows him to spot the field 10 strokes, play at night, and use only a single golf ball and a 2-iron.

Digg the next Facebook?
I check the social networking site Facebook everyday.
Digg, the social news site, not nearly as often.
But I may get more into Digg now that they’ve added social networking features that look a lot like Facebook, but better.
The Digg team is excited to launch new Digg user profiles later tonight, the first of many cool new features rolling out this year.
We’ve completely revamped our profiles from the ground up – making it easy for you to share your favorite stories and discover new interesting content by seeing what your friends are digging. It’s also even easier to find and add friends on Digg.
To see what I’m talking about, watch the short video tutorial on the Digg blog:
