Senior Night

In case you didn’t know, Thursday night was Matt’s last game at the Marriott Center as manager, so I asked Greg Wrubell via Twitter if he could give him a shout out on the air. His response:

And he did! In case you missed it, here’s the audio from his pregame segment about Senior Night:

So congrats to Matt on being involved in a big way with BYU Hoops, and thanks again to Greg!

How Rebounds Work

So, for my brothers not on the twitter, Kirk Goldsberry of Grantland.com did a cool analysis of where rebounds go, depending on where on the court the ball was shot from, according to 95,000 rebounds as tracked by the NBA’s new SportVU system.

There’s an analysis of how rebounds work, along with a really cool interactive feature where you move your mouse to different points on the floor and it will automatically show you where those shots end up getting rebounded.

Check it out!

Relative Finder

So, inspired by Steve’s post, I made an Extended Freeman Family group, so if you and your spouse both join, you can see how closely you’re related (if you dare)! Ex. Andrea and I are 9th cousins, 4 times removed.

So you (and your spouse) should hover over “Groups,” and select “Find” and search for “Extended Freeman Family.” Then click “Add,” and it will ask you for a password, which is “Freeman” (case-sensitive). Then go to “Relatives” and select the applicable box and “Show Relatives” to see how closely-related you are.

Freebie for American History buffs

I received a link to this freebie audio download page all about Benjamin Franklin–it is put together by The Homemaker’s Mentor (a Christian group that makes and sells various homeschooling curriculum and tips and ideas for keeping a good home and raising kids with good values).

It looks like some good stuff–there is a range of stuff applicable to different ages.

Will and Trish, maybe your kids would like this or you could use it to supplement some of your curriculum for this coming year? Also Justin and Laurie? I saw this and thought of Malachi!

This download is ONLY available through this Saturday the 21st! So hurry if you want it!
