I’ve got nothing, but it looks like it’s about time for one of these, so have at it.

Not sure what my plans are tonight. Somehow or another I pulled a muscle in my back and have been gimping around all day. Might just sit on an ice pack.
Finally, a djvu reader for iPad
This is not intended to start a pro-Apple/anti-Apple flame war. I am one of those people who likes both Apple and Google, which I realize is like supporting both the Israelis and the Palestinians, or liking both Art Garfunkel and Solomon Burke.
Anyway, like many people in math, and, I suspect other academic areas, I have hundreds of copies of books in djvu format, and it’s been my life dreams to carry a few of the classics with me at all times. Now, finally, there is a decent djvu reader for the iPad, called Stanza. Transferring the books is a little slow and it doesn’t support searches yet, but the formatting and readability are off the charts. For me, it’s game-changer for tablet computers.

I’m so old that what little I know about soccer I learned from reading Whistle! in translation, but I’m all in favor of anything that makes so many people happy. And by “makes people happy”, I mean “Shakira videos”, of course.

So… anybody got plans for the weekend that don’t involve futbol?
Open Thread: Thursday Night Menu
Take it away, Bad Horse’s Filly:
It’s been a dizzying week, so I almost forgot is was Thursday. I’m hoping for a much quieter Friday and relaxing weekend. Anyone have any exciting plans? I’ll be gardening, cycling and vegging out to DVDs and a good book. Pretty typical for me, not much excitement here. Some nice flavors tonight, a spicy sweet salmon with a tangy salsa served with rice. If you’re lucky enough to have a crop of fresh peas, well it gets even better.

Fed and freshly furminated, his royal highness has decided on an early evening summer nap in front of the oscillating fan:
I’m pretty sure that right now he is plotting my death.

Apparently every conference in football is about to explode, and I have nothing to add because I have no clue what is going on.
Also, I’m a little pissed that you all did not fully appreciate the effort that went into my “All About the Binyamins” title. I think you all are getting spoiled.
