Okay, I've finally given in to the immense pressure from nobody and decided to make this blog more user-friendly... I am accepting your feedback in the form of, get ready for it, comments!

My first topic of discussion is Google's attempt to buy Twitter. Having already bought giants Youtube and Blogspot, the internet is basically becoming property of Google - we're just lucky enough to use it free of charge. I remember registering my GMail account 5 years ago and thinking "What does this search engine website think they're doing?" Soon after I discovered GoogleEarth, Picasa, Docs and iGoogle, I knew that this was no ordinary web site. My life is positively changed because of their products, and I owe them. I'm considering giving my firstborn the name G00glè (gü-glay), or at least as a middle name. And yep, those are zeros... representin c/o '00 whodi!

Witness the first 24 hours of life

With a newly developed microscope that uses a sheet of light to scan a living organism from many different dimensions, scientists were able to track the complex cellular organization of a zebrafish embryo as it grows from a single cell to 20,000 cells.

I'd say we're a long way from having another NBA draft in which multiple Hoosiers are chosen in the 1st Round (2011?), so I turn you to YouTube so that you may enjoy the memories...

Hoosiers in the 2008 Beijing Olympics

Aarik Wilson took first place in the triple jump at the US Track & Field Olympic Trials yesterday, setting the record at Hayward Field (Eugene, Ore) with a jump over 57 feet. A-Dub was a 10-time All-American while at IU.David Neville (pictured above) qualified for the Olympics by placing 3rd in the 400 m with a career best 44.61. The five-time All-American was a BigTen Champion in both the 200 and 400 in 2006. He forfeited his collegiate status when he signed a professional contract with Nike, but later graduated from Indiana University in 2007.

Christina Loukas won a spot on the Olympic team, thus joining six other divers with Indiana ties. The national training center moved to Indy after the Americans failed to win a diving medal (in Athens) for the first time since 1912. Other notable divers include Thomas Finchum (18) of Indy, David Boudia (19) of Noblesville, Mary Beth Dunnichay (15) of Elwood, Kelci Bryant (19), Ariel Rittenhouse (17), and Haley Ishimatsu (15).

Rare Double-KO at LFC 25 in Indy

LFC (or "Legends" of "Fighting" Championship) #25 was held in Indy this weekend. This YouTube video shows two rookie fighters simultaneously getting knocked out within 10 seconds. If you're scoring at home, that's 0-0-1 lifetime for both.

If you were wondering what I've been up to since my last post, here it is:


That's Coach Travis Houghton's 8th grade team versus my alma mater Fall Creek Valley Bearcats. And yes, it was filmed in Nightvision mode. Be sure to catch halftime speech at the end.

Jeff Foster does what Conseco security can't

You'd think that having a half-empty Fieldhouse would allow security and ushers to corrall this kid, but Kyle Spear's favorite Pacer (#10) saves the day.
