Just printed this out for the bedside, sounds like the stuff of nightmares:
Swept out to sea by a riptide, a father and his 12-year-old son struggle to stay alive miles from shore. As night falls, with no rescue imminent, the dad comes to a devastating realization: If they remain together, they’ll drown together.
No idea how it ends. Read at your own risk. (via kottke)
How many weblogs sport a inaugural post that could save your life? Here's a video demonstrating how to save yourself if you fall through the ice. Our star (and my current hero) illustrates by skiiing himself into a icy hole in a frozen lake. There are at least five life-saving tips in that video that never would have occurred to me.
They really should tell us how he got his skis back though.
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is my weblog. It's mostly links to stuff I find interesting (here are some of my favorites), but some stuff is mine. I also created Listology in the previous millennium (raised it from a pup but I stopped playing with it and I felt bad so I gave it away to a good home), and the fitness weblog Lean & Hungry Fitness, which is gone, subsumed, but it was a cool domain while it lasted.
If I don't post often enough for you, you can check my delicious account for the only slightly less good also-rans.

I've turned off comments, but I'm not a complete recluse. I like email (feedback, tips, suggestions, etc.). I am also, tentatively, on Twitter.
