TIME Magazine Cover: Linsanity! - Feb. 27, 2012 - Sports - basketball - Jeremy Lin - NBA @jlin7

via time.com

For what it's worth, a weekend shout-out to "brother" Jeremy Lin for making the Time Magazine cover. Yup, I'm a relatively late bandwagon jumper.

The stat on the cover is amazing.
So is his record: 7-0 in his first 7 games for the New York Knicks, who weren't winning so much before the Linsanity.
By many accounts, a solid example on so many fronts: doing what you do really well & taking care of your own stats, at the same time getting your team to win, giving Tebow-esque appropriate props to God & Christian faith.
I wish this guy well. Me and a whole lot of the Internet.

Was kinda wondering why Sulu was making me crack up so much on FaceBook. I was looking for something else (the fridge one) but this'll do... And here's the deal on Takei-san...

"Best known as Mr. Sulu from 'Star Trek,' George Takei has new role, but it's not on TV or in the movies, it's on Facebook. Each day, Takei with the help of his fans shares musings from all over the Internet. ("Star Trek" and "Star Wars" jokes feature prominently.) His posts are showing up in newsfeeds more and more and the actor has more than million "likes" on his Facebook wall, out ranking even Captain Kirk himself."

I ripped this off the Baltimore Sun:
