Toronto Maple Leaf Bryan Berard took an errant stick in the eye last Saturday. He'll probably lose his sight in his right eye, which I guess would end his young, bright career. What can I say? I don't know. That sucks.

While cleaning up my filters today, I found Usersville, which certainly LOOKS great, design and content-wise.
It's a Manila site, hosted by Eric Clerico's weblogger.com service. It looks like his designers worked on this site.
