Plastic canvas meets the 21st century. Sweet! I wish I’d thought to make the connection to computer pixels.
Woot, my knee-jerk don’t-overthink-it pub-quiz answer was Iran which seems to be [✓]. I ‘knew’ it was more populous than…

Week 8 distance: 12.25mi (19.6km)
Week 9 distance: 21.65mi (34.7km)
Week 10 distance: 11mi (18km)After really pushing it last week, I had a planned cut-back week to recover. My lower back pain has returned a little bit, which is probably due to me NOT doing the stretches and exercises the physio gave me. (Yes, I suck, and I’m going to start again.) I may go see him again if I can’t resolve it on my own. Other than that, I’ve got the usual litany of minor running ailments: a couple niggling pains in my shins and knees, and a slightly tender hamstring. More worrisome is the sudden pain I felt at the top of my right quad as I was finishing my 45-minute run this morning. I put anti-inflammatory gel on it, and I’ll be doing some icing tonight. It hasn’t bothered me at all while walking, so I don’t think I’ve hurt it too badly. I just have to hang in there for five more weeks…

Name Explorer
Baby Name Explorer. Pretty neat little graphs! “Kristine” peaked in the 1950’s, oddly, but poor “Rodd” doesn’t even show up on the list.

Fingerprint Art
Fingerprint Art. Hmmm… I’m actually envisioning that on the front of a sweater. Sort of a Kaffe Fassett meets Big Brother type of thing. Could be cool.

Dirty Dahl
Hat tip to Andrew for pointing me to today’s Australian, which features a story about Roald Dahl’s sexy adventures as a “World War II spy.” *snort* Look, the guy was no angel, and he certainly got around a lot when he was younger. But he also has a documented history of embellishing his wartime adventures after the fact. I take all this stuff with a huge grain of salt.
And by the way, what a crappy article! It doesn’t even mention the name of the new book which apparently prompted the piece. If I was the author, I’d be annoyed.
