Technically speaking, of course!!
Life changing events? Technology advances faster than the average human can keep up, and frankly should for that matter. By the time we invest hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on the latest gadget, the newer version is on its heels. Well, if you are a sucker for the latest and greatest gadget, this story should appeal to you. Look for these six innovations to hit the market in the year(s) to come. I’m particularly fond of high-speed Internet being integrated into household appliances. These ideas are great, but what I really want to see is the ability to program my DVR from my workplace. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to set my DVR to record a show. If I could hook it up to an Internet connection, I could program it from anywhere in the world and not miss any shows. One can only dream, I guess. Read More >

Off topic: Go back to college Living in Denver, I’m a Nuggets fan. I’m elated that the powder blue and gold wrapped up forward Carmelo Anthony for a long time to come. Face it; he’s the best thing that’s happened to basketball in this town since “The Stiff” was roaming the sidelines. I, like many other Nuggets fans this week, gasped when I heard the news that ‘Melo hurt his knee in an exhibition game playing for Team USA. As it turns out, he’s going to be fine, but that’s not the point. I know there is a push to show the world that the United States is still the dominating force in basketball, but it’s coming at a high expense. The NBA is the premier league in the world, and the players should stay put. I want the players to be fresh and injury free when February and the playoff push comes. Letting the NBA’s brightest stars play in exhibition games during the summer exposes them to so many risks. I realize that players can get hurt anytime during the off-season playing pickup games, but exposing the stars to game-speed conditions makes them more vulnerable to injury or fatigue. A note to USA Basketball: Develop a team of college superstars and regain our dominance with amateurs, like we did many years ago. Read More >
Be a man and take responsibility for your actions I want to offer a word of advice to former Broncos (and I use that term loosely) running back Maurice Clarett. Whew, I’m glad he was only in Denver for a very, very short time. It’s time to grow up and starting acting like a man. In your short, 22-year life, you’ve ran into your share of trouble. Your act is getting old. You abused the privileges you’ve earned by being a stellar athlete. You did not take advantage of your God-given ability and have gone in the other direction. Instead of going down in the history books as possibly one of the best running backs of your generation, you’ll forever be remembered as a thug. This is a great story on ESPN by writer Tom Friend, detailing the events leading up to Clarett’s latest run-in with the law. Read More >

Well I made it, Bush. Forgive my silence yesterday. I would have written. I was counting on wi-fi connection at the airport and it wasn't available at Burbank; by the time I got to Denver, where I had my stopover, my mind was weary and befuddled to put any cogent thoughts together. The journey was an odd one: easy where I expected it to be hard, and hard where I expected it to be easy. Isn't that the way? A lesson to be learned again and again. Forget the expectations. Be in the moment as it comes. A great Buddhist wisdom.
The easy part was getting to Burbank airport and through security, I was all prepared for traffic jams, accidents on the freeway and allowed more than ample time... Nothing. Plain sailing, I expected the usual problems parking. A dream. Drove up, left the keys with one of the parking guys, strolled back across the street to the terminal. After the terrorist episode in London a few weeks ago, I expected longer lines than I've grown used to at security. A breeze. I was through in minutes. With an hour and a half to wait, I switched on the laptop and tried for the wi-fi connection. Nothing.
The flight to Denver passed, as they say, without incident. I made, as planned, the long trip to the terminal to meet with a fellow writer of similar interests--more of him and his work in a later entry, Bush--and chatted away, still on Los Angeles time, until he reminded me that this was Denver, and I had only fifteen minutes left before boarding. A race back through security to catch the train back to the concourses, with what seemed like an interminable wait at every station, then a dash down the long concourse to my boarding area--arriving out of breath to discover that the flight was delayed. Then came the hard part. I'm not the best person in the world when it comes to waiting. I waited and waited. An hour, two hours. Our plane had a faulty generator. We waited for the needed replacement. It didn't come... and didn't come.
And never cane. Finally, three hours later, they found us a new plane and got us off the ground. Arrived in Springfield three hours later than I had expected. A wonderful greeting, though, from Tom, a medieval art historian with a special interest in The Fens! Just up my alley, having spent my undergraduate years at Cambridge, where I studied, amongst other things, medieval literature. It seems a long time ago now. It WAS a long time ago. But we enjoyed a good glass of Scotch, a good glass of wine, a lively conversation...
And today... the speech. The reading. The lecture. The presentation... We'll see. I haven't been following your deeds, then, Bush, but I have gathered from glimpses of news reports that you've been busy promoting your war on terrorism. In the other war--Iraq--the volume has been turned up on that analogy with Wold War II, as though this mess were the latest noble war, the crusade of the 21st century. I don't buy it Bush. To paraphrase the late Lloyd Bensten in his famous vice-presidential debate with Dan what-was-his-name: you're no Winston Churchill.
