Instead of the multiple post attack like I did yesterday (4 different posts) I am going to try something different. As I come across a link I will add it to a single post, then post all of the links at the same time. I will also put up another Poll asking for feedback as to which approach works better.
Interesting article on the future of electronic communication
This hits home for me as I am kind of a bridge between my semi-technophile family, my technophobe in-laws, and working for a tech company. So I have become fluent in all of these forms, although I don't do the text message thing much if at all. It's one of the reasons why I am concerned about my kid's ability to become comfortable with a computer, because long term, that will be the portal for communication. And I really like Facebook, I think there there are some real possibilities in using it.
I am inviting loads of people here, I think it would be a great way for folks to keep updated with family and friends. I have also created a Family Group as well which can act as a central repository for family news, phots, etc.
Just a fascinating paper on College football polls
Is it better to lose early or late? Is it better to beat a strong or weak opponent (or lose to same)? Does margin of victory really matter? In a college season where we have seen a return of the 70+ point wins, and where coaches get into near fist fights over decisons that can only be construed as runing up the score, and where all of the unbeaten teams appear to have little chance of winning the mythical National Championship this is just fascinating.
Story on one my favorite sports writers
Dan Jenkins is one of the writers most responsible for my love of sports and appreciation of the art form. I haven't always agreed with all of his views one every team, and since I'm not a Texan I certainly don't have the same love for all things Texas that he does. It's always nice when you see how someone else has the same appreciation for something you love.
