Tiger Woods

Over the weekend Tiger Woods won the match play event. This was his 2nd win this year in 2 tries. What was amazing about this win was that he came back from 3 strokes down with only 5 holes to play. People are saying that Tiger is now more dominate than ever and that he has a real shot at winning every tournament he enters this year. He reacently passed Arnold Palmer for 4th on the all time wins list. I feel that he will win every tournament this year as well as win all 4 majors. This would be an incredable feat, but Woods is an amazing athlete and he just seems to dominate any field that he enters.

Satellite Shootdown

Something cool that I just saw that has to do with technology is that the US is going to try and shoot down a spy satellite. I thought this is really cool, just because I always wondered what they did with that equipment once it was broken beyond repair or no longer needed. I always heard that NASA just left the out dated ones in space, but no one ever told me what they do if they start to fall to earth. Now I know that what they do is shoot them out of the sky. I only hope they have good aim and dont miss. I wonder if they do miss will they have enough time to re-aim and fire again or would the satellite impact the ground, and what kind of damage would it create if it did crash. I am sure though that the government is a good shot and will not miss.

College Basketball

The other day the Kentucky Wildcats played Vanderbilt in a college basketball game. The significane of this game was that Kentucky a perennial basketball powerhouse scored only 11 first half points. The team is in a tranisition phase after coach tubby smith left to coach in Minnesota, but coach Gillispie is not a new coach. This team is 6 and 3 in the SEC and apppears at this point to make the NCAA tournament which starts in a few weeks. Its just suprising to see this type of a team of such a high standard is only scoring 11 points in a 20 minute half.

Hockey

So how about that guy this weekend from the Flordia Panthers that got his neck slashed with a skate. That was about the strangest thing I have ever seen happen in hockey. The only thing in all of sports that might be stranger was when Randy Johnson hit a bird with a pitch. Basically what happened was this guys teammate fell over going after the puck and Zidnik was trailing the play and when his teammate was falling over his skate went up in the air and hit him right across the neck and cut his corated arterey. Lucky for him the training staff was very quick to act and helped him out right away and they were able to fix the artery and save his life. I do not think that there will be any measures to help prevent this from happening again just because this is such a rare occurance in hockey that it probably and hopefully wont happen again for a while.

New Apple Laptops

I just saw the commerical for the new apple laptops. This is the new computer that is super thin, and fits inside a basic folder. I think that this is a bad idea. The computers continue to get thinner and thinnner, and at the same time lighter and lighter. I feel that this could be a problem. The prolem is that the lighter and thinner they make these computers the more likely people are to break them. What they need to do is make a super heavy duty computer. One that like you could throw through a brick wall then run it over with a truck then open it and it still works fine. That way people do not have to worry about breaking their computer just by looking at it.
