» Welcome to The Noosphere |

Funny word, noosphere. When you first see it, you want to prounounce it new sphere. Natural enough, but incorrect. To learn more about this unusual word and why we have built our site around it, click below.
Careful, though. Once you go Noosphere, you may never go back . . .

Common Sports - Uncommon Games
Alone.
Largely in the dark, with only the flickering light from our gas driven fire warming the ceramic logs and 55 inches of high definition art providing a view into what is most often some far corner of the world.
Night after night I sit ignoring the phone, e-mail, text messages and two very persistent family dogs. I am left up, alone in my living room with Mary Carrillo, long after my wife has gone to bed.
If you think that sounds a bit destructive, you might be right. I have a problem. I’m an addict, a junkie, a freak.
My name is Bob and I am an Olympiholic....

The Storm Part V - Denouement
And so the ground war, as quickly as it had started, was ending. There was no grand pronouncement signaling hostilities were over. There was simply a subtle shift from being prepared to mow down anything that moved to resisting that impulse. We’d gone as far north as the Kuwaiti International Airport, found there was simply no one left interested in a fight, and had ground to a halt. Then came the official word - President Bush had issued a cease-fire.
And a merciful cease-fire it was. We had executed Schwartzkopf and Powell’s masterful ‘left hook’ assault, a lightning fast westward flanking attack, to near perfection. We had outmaneuvered and surprised the Iraqi forces, and were in the process of decimating any that elected to resist. Most did not. Those that did paid a horrible price....

Go Speed Go
Last week my official training began. Oh, I’ve been running for a while now, but that was just building up the base so my legs wouldn’t fall off when I really started training. Last Monday I started running intervals to increase my turnover, which should, in theory, help me run faster. On Thursday my long run went up to seven miles. This week it goes up to nine.
And I have to say so far it’s all going swimmingly. If only the temperature would go down a little. It’s been 95 degrees or so for the past three weeks and I haven’t been able to run outside at all. My last attempt was about a month ago. I had planned a nice seven mile jaunt around Lake Braddock, a picturesque little lake 2 miles from my house with a nice flat, and oftentimes shady 1.5 mile trail surrounding it. I figured I run out there, do a few laps and run back. Trouble was that when I got to the non-shady parts of the trail I almost collapsed from heat exhaustion. I only made it 6.5 miles before I had to hang my head in shame and call my wife to come pick me up and drive me the rest of the way home. The entire following week my legs ached and my knees hurt and I decided I was never running in such awful heat conditions ever again.

A Proper Sendoff
Dear Humans of 3020 AD,
With science and medicine accelerating at the dizzying rate it is, it is not inconceivable that death is as archaic a notion to you in your time as ritual human sacrifice is to us in ours. Part of me certainly hopes so; a sentiment made all the more keen as I grieve the sudden loss of a man, friend and brother ...
