A Horrible, but Amazing, Abuse of HTML

This goes out to all y'all web developers out there.  You know who you are.  In 1999 while others partied like it was...  1999, you slaved away trying to get your table-based layout working on Netscape and IE.  Thank goodness it's now 2007, and you can just grab CSS-based layouts from A List Apart. But off all the possible abuses of old-skool HTML, I bet you never thought of this one:  using table cells and bgcolor to build an image, one pixel at a time!

Extreme Japanese Sports, Nagano Makoto

I am not a very sports oriented person, as several people will tell you. In fact, I learn most all of my American sports knowledge from my mother-in-law. But, I do like extreme sports, like skate boarding, snow boarding, and the Ultimate Viking Challenge. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this challenge, this is possibly the most difficult obstacle course ever made. It was originally a Japanese show but now airs in the US on ESPN and in Europe. I don't often get the chance to watch the show, but when I do it's definitely worth it. Anyway, I am not writing about that right now, what I wanted to talk about today, actually to show you a video of today, is Nagano Makoto, the only person so far to get to the final stage of Viking, The Ultimate Challenge. He lost by running out of time in the last five feet of the course. Below is a clip (albeit of very poor quality) of Viking so you get an idea of what is going on there.

Either way, check out his video below from his appearances on Sasuke. He is amazingly graceful and agile. [youtube]QkBkZpK-fYQ[/youtube]
