Andrew Sullivan aptly likens the ton-of-bricks-on-the-head trick to the work Obama has ahead of him. No doubt, especially doing it in bare feet. The price of failure is high.

• If you only read one, read this one: Mark Sisson on The Primal Blueprint.
• Ross Enamait on The Power of Patience.
• Art De Vany notes the potential benefits of High Intensity Exercise Before Sports.
• Straight to the Bar collects some interesting medicine ball workouts and videos.

Suddenly juggling is popping up the fitness weblogs I frequent. First I noticed Ross Enamait posted a piece, Juggle Your Way To Improved Performance, and then Straight to the Bar posted a link to the YouTube of juggling sites, JuggleTube. They have a terrific old video of Francis Brunn on the Jack Benny show. I then searched for a Kris Kremo performance I'd seen before, but they didn't have it. Good ol' YouTube to the rescue!

My Inbox has been very fun over the last 24 hours. It all started with a recommendation from a coworker of this Weird Al video ("not for the crappy song but for the amazing Flash animation"). I had to reply with another Flash video with the word "Creep" in the title: the Radiohead acoustic video that made the rounds awhile ago. Worth a rewatch if you caught it then, and if you've never seen it, click through now. The same coworker then kicked in this sketch by Rowan Atkinson doing the naughtiest roll call ever (NSFW). How he pulled that off with a straight face I'll never know.

Okay, new coworker, new paragraph. His contribution was this unique juggling routine, Conic. YouTube then recommended other routines by the same guy: Orthogonal is fantastic, the Hemisphere preview is enticing, and may lead you to the full award-winning routine. Finally, a little playful bit: Nestled Boxes.

All reminiscent of Michael Moschen's work (certified genius). In particular check out Triangle, Threeball, and Light (yes, he was David Bowie's arms in Labyrinth).

Last, from an entirely separate quarter, a friend passed along this link: Lords of the Logistic. I've seen a few things like that in person, and it stopped me in my tracks every time.

It's a large file, but oh-so-worth it: Kris Kremo juggling (AVI, 75MB).
