Midway through 2009, I wrote of a “year’s worth of action in six months time.” Flip the calendar 12 times, here we are again. The first half of 2010 was as busy and meaningful a stretch to MMA as any during its steeply inclined rise to prominence. While plenty remains to be settled as summer devolves into winter, the following fighters, fights, submissions and knockouts could all make a good …

Deconstructing Denim Part 1: The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, and Big Boi
Thursday, July 8th, 2010Since the first Memphis picker laced up his boots and buckled his belt, denim has been an ever-present player in rock ‘n roll. Of course, pants aren’t all there is to it.

"The Cylons were created by man …"
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010In a world where our Internet connection has become the equivalent of a junkie’s “fix,” Karel Capek’s work enjoys the virtue of far-reaching prescience. His 1920 drama R.U.R. (aka Rossum’s Universal Robots) did far more than introduce “robot” — a derivation of the Czech term for slavish labor, robota — into the lexicon. It foresaw a future in which survival is at the mercy of machinery and …

Cris ‘Cyborg’ Santos: The Female Fedor Has Arrived
Monday, June 28th, 2010Simply put, I don’t see any scenario in which Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Champion Cris ‘Cyborg’ Santos will be beat…or even challenged. Santos’ latest dominant effort on Saturday against an overmatched Jan Finney was just another notch in her title belt, one that is going to expand a lot more than the two defenses she has thus far. As if you needed a reminder of her dominance, here’s a …
