Here is a visual of all the teams that have been in and out of the English Premier League (the soccer/football league across the pond for those of you who don’t follow the sport :). As you would think, teams like Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United are multiple time champions and have never been relegated (sent to the second division). Aston Villa, Everton, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur have never been relegated but have also never won the Premiership. Swindon Town was in the Premier League for a cuppa tea in 1993-94 and have not touched it since. And sadly, my Newcastle United club was relegated this year for the first time since the EPL’s first year in 1992.

No Traffic
The other day I was checking out Google Maps and their new traffic monitor feature. I wanted to see what sort of traffic was happening here in the wonderful Garden State over the Labor Day weekend. And as I looked, I saw nothing but green, meaning clear roads ahead. So as I expanded the view of the map, all I saw was more green on the American roads. So I guess on this day that I was looking at Google Maps, there was no traffic in the US.
MJ Hits The Hall

Today, Michael Jordan is being inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, along with C. Vivian Stringer, Jerry Sloan, John Stockton, and David Robinson. ESPN has put together a compilation of the 23 best moments of MJ’s career (Note: ESPN could have done a better job of this page by making the videos play continuously instead of the way they have it, which requires the user to click on every clip).

Old Bunkers in Bremen
Architect Rainer Mielke has convered several old bunkers in Bremen, East Germany into new buildings and houses. What is pretty neat is that with the walls of these structures being so think, they naturally keep the inside spaces cooler than outside.
