Addicted to Passions and Pulp
From the monthly archives:
Today’s Apple Special Event introducing new, fun products was kinda boring. No big surprises announced. Instead a revamped Mac Mini with an Intel processor was released along with the iPod Hi-Fi.

The concept of one team done right.
What makes this group great is they really understand the concept of ‘One Team.’ We play 12, 13, 14 guys every game, and nobody complains about playing time. Some guys know they’ll never shoot, but they’re content to set screens. We started off the season struggling a bit, [...]
