Apparently DARPA is working on a pretty amazing project. If something like this gets to be fairly accurate, then what will our world become. I read (and reviewed) the book, “1984” by George Orwell. This technology could easily make a reality of what Orwell portrayed. The ability to translate on the fly is amazing technology…

Recently, I’ve been frequenting TigerDirect.com for all my electronics/gadget needs. I used to be a huge fan of Buy.com, but TigerDirect seems to usually beat Buy.com’s price. There is occasion when I still purchase from Buy.com if the free shipping will compensate for the higher price. One of the features that I really missed from…

Is it just me, or are the BYU football games getting boring? The last 4 or so games, I have watched, but not really enjoyed. There are some good plays, but very little along the lines of great or amazing plays. There is no drama because they are blowing out their opponents. This last game…

I ran across a few articles [1] and web sites [2] that are trying to position Mitt Romney as a presidential candidate for 2008. And although they claim it’s very possible, I just am not sure someone like Romney will be able to win the Presidency.
So I just finish “1984” by George Orwell. It’s a pretty amazing and unique book. I think there are many people familiar with this book. If you haven’t read the book, I’m sure you are at least familiar with one of the main concepts in the book: Big Brother.
For years, I have been a huge fan of the Broadway production of Les Miserables. The music is amazing and the story is incredibly moving. So at the urging of my brother, I took the plunge and decided to read (listen to) the full, unabridged book by Victor Hugo. Now, after 76 hours of listening…

To make sure you all don’t start thinking this is a BYU only blog, I figured I would post about something else. I ran across a very cool application the other day. It’s classified under “Edutainment.” That amazing class of applications that are both entertaining and educational.
Wow! What an amazing game for Mendenhall and the BYU Football Team! Talk about a ground breaking and fantastic game. Of course, this being one of the most important games in recent BYU football history, I didn’t get to watch it. I was still at work. We released a new version of our product this…

This wasn’t the most exciting game and to be honest, I didn’t watch all of it. I missed several parts and didn’t really care much about the game. I knew (or at least expected) it to be a blow out. Just a few surprises. The USU running back, Marcus Cross, had a very admirable game…

I failed to write a summary for BYU’s loss to Boston College. My prediction was somewhat close although I was not expecting double overtime. I was disappointed in the play of BYU. They looked really pretty good the first half. Everything seemed to be flowing as expected. There was nothing spectacular, but definitely consistent. The…
