We drove to see the scheduled space shuttle launch. Clouds rolled in and the launch was scrapped. Traffic and long drive back.

Original Dunlap 1776 copy of the Declaration of Independence discovered in the British National Archives. Announced the last day of work before the July 4th holiday weekend. Pretty fun.

The French Open is in its high drama with a potential Soderling-Federer final. The storyline of the champion in search of his one missing trophy versus the surprising clay explosion giant-slayer who dealt Nadal his first loss in 32 matches at Roland Garros. Makes for great tv!

The side with the buttons. You can make or receive calls, and use the speakerphone. If you want to open your address book, just press the right buttons and guess which entry you’re calling.
Hilarious to see a friend using half a phone. Soon she must cave and get a new one.

Now here’s an exciting ending to a playoff series. Game 7, season life on the line, with 1.5 minutes left the Carolina Hurricanes were down by one. Not only did they tie it up, they scored twice to take the game and series win.

Carolina won game 4 in similarly spectacular last second fashion. Jussi Jokinen broke a tie with 0.2 seconds left. The Hurricanes sure can make it exciting!

It’s fun to root for the underdog, to see people overcome the odds stacked against them. and we don’t mind importing those that are fun to watch, because right now the most fun story is that of Susan Boyle from the UK. Frumpy woman living with her cats comes onto the stage in the hopes of getting a late start to a singing career. Hard not to laugh at the unlikely prospect. But within one line she had everyone hooked, her voice full of indescribable emotion that we as an audience connect with. Instant superstar!

iPhone apps are awesome when someone really puts the resources and expertise into developing a tool. the Masters app succeeds at that. Video, easy to read leaderboards, and info on each hole. It’s simple yet perfect.
