Tiger Woods

Over the weekend there was an incident where Tiger Woods ended up swearing at a photographer who snapped a picture during his backswing. People were offended that Tiger used some foul language to yell at the guy. As a fellow curser I can say that while the language is not the best, it is still not the worst thing in the world. It was in the heat of the moment during a tournament in which Tiger was in the hunt for a win. People shouldnt be taking pictures of any golfer during their swing. And if you feel the need to take a picture walk away and use the zoom so the golfer wont be distracted. It happens all the time in any sport where foul language is used. Its not the best decision but it is what happens and we need to just accept it and move on.

Baseball Season

Its finally here. Baseball season has offically began with the Boston Red Sox and the Oakland Athletics playing a two game series in Japan. While I am excited about the start of the season I think its stupid that they have to start all the way in Japan. The first problem that I have with this is that due to the time difference the game starts at 6 am, which means that I am unable to watch them because it is humanly impossible to wake up that early. The second problem I have with this is that once they finish this short two game series they fly back to LA for more preseason games. Even though this current format is slightly messed up it is still great that baseball season is back. GO SOX!!!!

Upsets

So now that the tournament has started its time that everyone fills out a bracket. Everyone picks an upset, thats just one of the rules of filling out a bracket, like never put all 4 number 1's in the final four beccause that has never happened. There were some surpirsing upsets in the 1st round this year that I didnt even think could happen. San Diego over UCONN was a huge upset. There were very few people out there, I believe that called that one. And Western Kentucky over Drake was another one. There are, however, several upsets that people expected. Siena over Vanderbilt was one that people expected although I picked Vandy. And the Villanova over Clemson.

NCAA Tournament

Thank god its march again because this is with out a doubt the best time during the Sports year. No other event causes as many people to be so unproductive. Its a proven fact that during these best 3 weeks ever productivity in companys is cut in half. I love that I get so into my brackets that this is all i can think about for the next couple of weeks. I love hearing the inside info and breaking down my picks. Its an awesome time of the year for picks and non stop college basket ball. My final four: North Carolina, Kansas, Texas, and UCLA

Technology Getting Smaller

So I was looking on the internet at some new technology and I came across a few interesting articles. I was reading about the new blue tooth phones things and they said they are making them even smaller. So now I am wondering how much smaller is technology going to get before we stop. Those hand held computers we looked at in class were so small. I think technology has gotten small enough. Like i am a big guy and all these little devices are hard for me to use. Those crazy little computers that you cant even push the buttons. I think everything is small enough and like why make things smaller because they are so expensive and the smaller they are the more likely people are to lose them

TECH

SOmething crazy that is technology and fairly new I believe is blogging. Everybody has one it seems. Most of them are kinda weird and out there but just the fact that there are so many of them out there on the web is kind of amazing. Even sportstars are getting into it. Curt Schilling of the Boston Red Sox (Best Team Ever, Screw the Yankees) has his own blog where he discusses topics about the sport of baseball, politics, and will even offer his own interpretation of the game he just pitched. Blogging is definetly an amazing technological advance.
