Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Bracketology
Leonardo Aranda's Bracketology - NCAA 1985 - 2009 "I made this chart because I was curious to see how brackets have behaved since they started using the current 64-team format.
I have compiled compiled these statistics over the years in an attempt to win the NCAA March madness bracket pools in which I have participated and just for the fun of studying the statistics. But I am green with envy as well as another appropriate color with admiration when someone takes data that I have kicked around and makes a striking visualization from it. Thanks for the link.
Again I am Salieri* to some Mozart. I recognize genius and beauty, but I can only produce mediocrity. (*the Amadeus movue version of this story, not the real one)

It's mostly because I knew you kept these stats and would be interested in it that I posted it. Glad you liked it.
