> Big day, yesterday. New Zealand made history by becoming the only country apart from the US to ever successfully defend the America's Cup (yacht racing, for those who don't know). In 1995 NZ became the first team EVER to wipe out the competition five-nil, and yesterday we did it AGAIN.


I saw the first race on ESPN2 (a sports network here in the States). It was pretty neat how they kept using something they called "SailTrack" to determine how many lengths separated the ships (even when they appeared to be neck-in-neck when the NZ one was like 7.2 lengths in the lead).
