A buddy of mine encouraged me to hit up YouTube for some Roberto Carlos clips, and I’m glad I did. First up is the physics-defying free kick against France HQ. It must have been disbelief that kept the goalie pretty much pinned in place. That post should not have been fair game. This top 10 goals compilation is also pretty good (alas, not in high quality). I think the goal at 2:57 is actually more impressive than the free kick, and if the soccer itself isn’t proof of his athleticism, check out the air on his celebratory leap at 0:40.
Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is stuff I found interesting that I thought you might like too. Here are some of my favorites if you want to start there. Mostly I link to other people, but some stuff is mine, like:
- A list of my favorite action scenes
- A bunch of movies I liked that are available to watch instantly on Netflix
- Fun with Bic pens: the Earth Pen and the Fridge Pen
- My very own oatmeal recipes that sound totally gross but are actually good
Spillover
I am loving Instapaper, and use if to sock away stuff to read. Here are a bunch of articles I read recently and liked.
