Checking In On Sunday's Game

Arsenal V. Chelsea. Turned out to be an anti-climatic way to give Manchester United the title. The game started out promising, with Arsenal building their offense and appearing to gain more and more control. The break came as Julio Baptista outmuscled Khalid Bhoularouz for a ball in the area, and the Chelsea defender swept his feet out from under him. Whistle. Penalty. Red card. Shot from the dot. Gilberto put the Gunners ahead.

Then, the Arsenal 11 took pity on undermanned Chelsea and began playing as if they had the man disadvantage, allowing the Blues back into the game. To be fair, Chelsea showed renewed vigor, particularly with Michael Essien in the 2nd half. Of course, this resulted in Essien scoring the equalizer.

From there, the Blues piled the pressure on the Gunners, and created way more shots on frame than a 10-man side should get. Arsenal should've done better, but in the end, all they could really do was hold on to a tie and pull themselves level with Liverpool for third. It was hard to get excited about this.

Wonders of the Internet
To really understand the power of the Internet, look no further than cheddarvision.tv. The website features a 24/7 webcam documenting the molding of a block of cheddar cheese in England. The cheese has more MySpace friends than I do.

"The fact is that most people think of cheese as being a little bit of yellow square in plastic wrap," [Cheese purveyor Patricia Michelson] said.

"Actually seeing the real thing in its glory, from start to finish. Watching it, live, in real time, growing and growing its molds and getting darker and literally, slowly aging is a phenomenon," she added.
