I have a special treat today, a picture of me playing Dance Dance
Revolution :) My mom snapped it off me without me knowing while at Islands of Adventure some
time ago, and she finally developed the pictures. Unfortuantly you only see the back of my head, and
you can't see my mad freestylin' skillz :) The guy playing next to me is my brother.
Two sports stories today. Now wait, I know what you're thinking: "A geek interested in sports?" But
yes, I do like sports, except for baseball, and golf is my favorite sport. Anyways, Tiger Woods
won the Masters
yesterday, completing his "Grand Slam" of the majors. He's the first person in modern golf to
accomplish that feat, and he's only 25 years old. This guy is just so incredible. He's the reason I
got interested in golf, and I'm still in awe of his incredible skills. He is truly one of the
greatest athletes in the history of sports. And on a different sport, Troy Aikman, Quarterback of
the Dallas Cowboys (my favorite NFL team), is retiring. He
had some great seasons, but health concerns are forcing a retirement.
Salon has a neat article
comparing the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey to our current times, and how accurate some of the
predictions really were. We have smart cards, screens in airplanes, and computers that can beat
humans in chess, which are all predicted in the movie. And I'm sure that even the spaceflights could
have come true if the US had continued funding the space program the way it was in the
1960's.
