What's Good?
The week in sports- and snacks- technology news
Happy Friday! What's good?!
Apologies here at the outset that I don't have a lot of news to share with you today. I didn't pay much attention to the Internet over the holiday weekend — a weekend that Kin and I extended through Tuesday to deal with relocating our RV trailer. (Spoiler alert: this task was not successfully completed. But that’s a story for my personal blog, not this newsletter.)
Elsewhere in cereal stories, food-technology writer Larissa Zimberoff discusses breakfast mascots and other "cereal lessons." And in other food news: "Training for the Olympics of Cheese." "How New York’s Public Hospitals Cut Carbon Emissions: More Vegetables."
And from the world of sports: "11,000 runners DQ'd from Mexico City Marathon, per report." Via The Atlantic: "How Men Muscled Women Out of Surfing." "In 'brutal' US Open heat, Daniil Medvedev warns during his win that a player is 'gonna die'." I am genuinely curious how many sports — in my case, running — are going to continue with the extreme heat and climate change. Lord knows we’ll still have football, which apparently started its season last night. The Washington Post on "The Maestro: The man who built the biggest match-fixing ring in tennis." In case you were wondering, here are some details on "The Sylvester Stallone Workout: Sculpting a Rocky Body." Jay Caspian King has thoughts on "Why 'Alone' Is the Best Reality Show Ever Made."
