When Jeremy Lin signed with Toronto a few days ago he texted Jonas Valanciunas — who was a real fan favourite around here before he got traded away — to respectfully ask if it would be okay to wear JV's former number 17.

JV said cool, and now Lin is #17.

Plus, erasure poets go to NBA basketball games!

Twilight in the Eyeholes, or, How to Philosophize with a Hammer

"Weary thought, incapable of maintaining itself on the plane of immanence, can no longer bear the infinite speeds of the third kind that, in the manner of a vortex, measure the concept’s copresence to all its intensive components at once. It falls back on the relative speeds that concern only the succession of movement from one point to another, from one extensive component to an other, from an idea to another, and that measure simple associations without being able to reconstitute any concept."

(Gilles Deleuze, What is Philosophy?, p.214; quoted by Isabelle Stengers)

"The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play."

(Olympic Charter, as quoted by Google)
