"GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — NBA coach Phil Jackson accepted an honorary doctorate from his alma mater, the University of North Dakota, and asked the school to think hard about its Fighting Sioux nickname. In his 20-minute speech during Monday's ceremony, Jackson did not specifically say UND should do away with the nickname, but he asked officials to ponder what could be gained by keeping it. Jackson said he had been asked by his Lakota friends to speak out against the nickname. He said UND has a chance to embrace change. Under a settlement reached last fall with the NCAA, UND has three years to win the approval of North Dakota's Sioux tribes if it wants to continue using the name without sanctions. The NCAA considers the name hostile and abusive, but school officials dispute that." - Roshan Vyas via Bookmarklet

You do realize that athletes are very susceptible to placebo effects, right? These tapes don't do anything other than to play with your head. Very expensive way to do that, but if it makes you feel better, go for it. Just don't expect miracle results. - Robert Scoble

I have a hard time suggesting individual songs, but anything from these albums makes good traveling music: Smokey & Miho's self-titled album, Radiohead's "The Bends," Arcade Fire's "Funeral," Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," Los Amigos Invisible's "Arepa 3000," Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois," PJ Harvey's "Stories from the City/Stories from the Sea." Erykah Badu's "Mama's Gun." - Omar Gallaga
anything by guns and roses - David Thomas
MIAs Paper Planes has been good to me on the 21 flights I've taken this year. The gunshots are a good stress reliever when the other passengers are bugging you :) - Roshan Vyas

It's really interesting how the current UI, not having undergone any "Wow it's all different" iterations, is so similar yet different from where we started. - Kevin Fox via Bookmarklet
It reminds me how much I dislike JPG for screenshots :) - Paul Buchheit
It took me a while to figure out what was going on here, until I realized you'd Bookmarket-ed a blog post from *2004*! That's ancient history, man! - Paul Wilcox
Great to see you had a Prius label in 2004 :) - Roshan Vyas
I am so glad it hasn't changed. - Steve Rubel
There's something to be said for good clean design. Tweaks are fine but not major overhauls all the time. I've always liked this layout. - Al Stevens
it would be fun to see one of the early caribou screenshots for additional historic context :) - Natala Menezes
Archive is nice :D it is very interesting to see the evolution. Thanks Paul :) - Harun Baris Bulut
I love the fact the delete button wasn't introduced yet. I tell people about this and they don't believe me - Derek Coatney
not being able to delete was a bit strange, I remember. - Josh Haley
Delete was there from day one -- it was just in the "more actions..." menu. - Paul Buchheit
Is there any important feature in today's Gmail that hasn't been envisioned from the beginning? - Ionut
That's an interesting question. I guess it depends on your definition of "important" and "beginning". In the very beginning, the only definite vision was to make something "better". However, pretty much everything in there today had been prototyped or at least talked about well before launch (see the chat integration in http://www.techcrunch.com/wp-c... for example). As usual, coming up with the ideas is easy, but fitting them cleanly into the product is hard. - Paul Buchheit
The funny part about this is I was being sort of snarky but didn't really mean for Kevin to post the thing about the bandwidth. I had a legacy server in the Google datacenter from the Blogger acquisition that I was using to host shellen.com and evhead.com. Kevin went ahead and made screenshots of that thread anyway. :) I got a few angry comments from people on my blog that I was 'stealing from Google'. This is why the internet needs a sarcasm mark. - Jason Shellen
Yeah, I actually recalled that faux pas when I reblogged this now. 'Oops!' Psst, you don't still have that server in a Google datacenter, do you? FriendFeed could always use some free bandwidth... - Kevin Fox
I just assumed FriendFeed was being hosted from servers in a Google datacenter anyway. They wouldn't really miss the bandwidth anyway, would they? ;-) - Tony Ruscoe

Where? where? - Roshan Vyas
Unless you're in Rochester NY I think you're going to miss out on this one. The place literally a few hundred feet from my apartment sells these crazy large slices for $4. - Benjamin Golub
I was going to recommend Fat Slice of Berkeley, but their Web site says "Happy Holidays". http://www.fatslicepizza.com/f... - Louis Gray
love Rochester, NY... where is this place? - Stewart Rogers
Pizza Stop? - Jason Carreira
http://rocwiki.org/Piatza%27s_... Not the tastiest pizza in the city but definitely the largest - Benjamin Golub
I lean towards Pizza Stop and Brandani's myself - Aprille
I have always wondered about then. Drive by there CONSTANTLY on the way back from pre-K. Exactly how big are the slices? And how bad is the pizza? :) I'm a Guida's girl myself. - Cyndy
Guida's has the tastiest Pizza in town... Pizza Stop is close, but too inconvenient if you don't work downtown - Jason Carreira
We've got King Slice in Toronto if you're in the mood for a huge slice http://www.kingslice.ca/Histor... - Kevin Cearns
Cyndy: the slices are crazy huge. It is far from the worst pizza I've had. Better than the big chains. Definitely worse than say Great Northern or Pizza Stop. I go there mainly because it's a 2 minute walk from my apartment :) - Benjamin Golub
