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.

Measuring The Universe
Bad Astronomy wrote a short article The Universe is expanding at 74.2 km/sec/Mpc. I thought it was nice introduction to how we measure distances in the universe. The comments are also interesting and entertaining.
