Crimson find the range

PRINCETON, N.J. -- You've got to wonder what kind of team Harvard would be if the Crimson got into the flow of their games earlier.

Arson investigators get on their hands and knees to track how and where suspicious fires began. Then they have to find the fire-starter, who could be a flame-obsessed kid, a property owner seeking an insurance payout -- or even a firefighter looking for glory.

Over the last week, I've been writing about the disconnect between flow and rank. Paradoxically, sites that are ranked high don't always deliver a lot of hits when they link to you. On the flipside, there are some sites that are rarely on Top 100 lists, or talked about very much, that deliver substantial flow. Two of them stand out, one a veteran site, and the other a relative newcomer. 1. Daring Fireball is a thoughtful blog written by John Gruber that focuses on the Macintosh. Since I've returned to the Mac in 2005, and have been writing more about Mac issues, I've started getting links from this site, and when I do, they usually send between 1000 and 2000 readers my way. And they're generally interesting people with useful information and ideas. I follow Gruber on Twitter and have learned that he is a Phillies fan and therefore disappointed this year. His posts are interesting there too, and irreverent, which I like of course.  2. A Digg-like memetracker, news.ycombinator.com is in the same league as TechMeme, about 1000 hits for a highly ranked piece. I don't know much about the site, I'm not a regular reader, and I don't know much about the people who visit from this site.

Really cool blog post about hidden Java features.  These are little tricks that you forget about from time to time but that make life more pleasant.  This is a good one:  "Instance initializers -- I've been exploiting these lately to abbreviate list initialization (in unit tests only): > List triple = new ArrayList(3) { >   { add("a"); add("b"); add("c"); } > };"  I've been using static code blocks but this looks like it might be a better trick.  Example:  "public static List = new ArrayList(); > static {     list.add( "foo" ); }"  Also this final Closure  hack seems pretty cool:

Gabe: Pokemon League is tonight. Congrats to everyone that got their first gym badge at the last meeting. We're starting a new season tonight so I hope everyone worked on getting any illegal cards out of their decks. You can find the current modified legal card list here. I believe we're entering the Pastoria City season which means we'll all be playing for our Fen badges. If you have not registered on Go-Pokemon.com yet, be sure and do that so you can start earning points towards your badge. We'll try to get the matches started as close to six as possible. If you'd like to show up early to trade feel free. See you all tonight.  -Gabe out

The best offense in the first half of yesterday's Harvard-Yale game was the Crimson defense.

By Jake Gibbs  I WAS one of the winners of the Birmingham Mail's Harlem Globetrotters competition. I came second and received two tickets to go to see them at the NIA. I would like to thank you for these tickets as we had a brilliant time. Thanks.

I saw it when I popped the lid of the supers - I couldn't have missed it, being nearly the size of my palm.  A common orb spider, hiding in these old unused honey supers.  It and about eighty more of its kind have built webs all around my equipment.  I spent the most of a week fighting them.  Now I see that there are some important lessons to be learned.

Paul Pierce finally played last night for the first time in more than seven weeks. The result was no different than the last time he had worn No. 34 for real and the Celtics are now inching achingly, agonizingly closer to record book Armageddon.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- If they did not necessarily play better football, it was enough for the Harvard Crimson to play longer yesterday, spotting Lehigh a 24-7 lead midway through the second quarter before storming back with four straight touchdowns, then hanging on for a 35-33 win.

There was something eerie about Harvard's loss to Dartmouth last season. No squeaker, that game. Nothing accidental about a 30-16 score that ended the Crimson's six-game winning streak.
