    They did that stunt one time here in the Faroes, serving live Norway lobster at a fish fair, resulting in a police report. Delicious or not, I would never. Ever. Video found here.

    Ate live shrimp tonight with brown butter emulsion. Crazy but delicious! Noma is insane! @ReneRedzepiNomaless than a minute ago via HootSuite Favorite Retweet ReplyGarrett Weber-Gale

    The Copenhagen 2011 international swimming blogosphere top summit went OK, me thinks, with me and Chris coming to a preliminary agreement about how to divide up the world between the two of us. Notice the coffee cups, and follow him on The Swim Brief.

    This looks interesting, maybe USA Swimming exclusive but inspirational when it comes to giving everyone something to strive for. Nice mobile app too, see www.usaswimming.org/deckpass.

  • Diana Nyad forced to abandon her big swim

    Attempting to become the first person to swim between Cuba and Florida, Diana Nyad was forced to abandon roughly halfway through her journey, struggling with ocean swells, shoulder pain and asthma. Still shell-shocked from Faroese media’s coverage of the World Championships, I’m sure that the gutter press will write “Nyad gives up, only manages to swim 55 miles in 29 hours,” clueless as the are. Good one Diana!

    Sunday evening August 17th at 19:45.10 ET, 61-year-old Diana Nyad started her 103-mile swim from Cuba to Florida, attempting to set a new long distance world record in ocean swimming without a shark cage. You can follow her progress in near-real-time here on CNN, and read more here on diananyad.com.

    Yeah, it is a bit quiet here. Last news from Pál was that he was lying in the sun somewhere with his girlfriend, listening to Led Zeppelin, reading Dostojevskij and enjoying a gin-and-sprite. I myself am witnessing how the financial crisis is developing in Sweden, forcing them to abandon garbage vans (or whatever :-)
