Congrats to Emily Silver!
Just wanted to throw out a hearty congrats to Emily Silver, the daughter of a colleague of mine, who came in 5th during Friday’s Olympic Trials in the 100m freestyle, qualifying her to go to Beijing as an alternate. She broke two fingers on Saturday’s semis for the 50m freestyle, but is still all set to train starting this week and head out to Beijing. Very awesome!
No Americans At Olympics?
I’m not sure if this is a reality, but American Olympic star Mark Spitz thinks so, according to an article at Scotsman.com.

wow - didn’t even get around to posting yesterday - what was I thinking?!? long night at the olympics last night, with the canadians seemingly getting screwed out of the gold medal in pairs figure skating. who would’ve thunk it - figure skating controversy…. that never happens. oh well. all that matters is that the usa apparently owns snowboarding - maybe we’ll get a gold medal in something other than it, perhaps? who knows. so i actually got the car from hell back last night - they managed to put a bad alternator in it a while back to replace the bad alternator that it already had. hmmm. hopefully, they pulled out a “good” alternator for this time around…
so - good topic i like from the topics blog, “Macs or PCs? Netscape or IE? Pepsi or Coke? WHY?”…. i’m definitely a pc person, though i just haven’t had that much experience with macs - i’d love to have one at some point, though they canned the “cube” model, so i dunno if it’ll happen anytime soon… i prefer internet explorer to netscape, just because it seems to flow a little better. netscape just seems jumbled a lot to me, and it seems to crash out a lot. (hmmm, powers at work here?) i always used netscape in college, but now it’s just not as flowy… definitely coke. i think pepsi tastes too much like candy, and coke has more bubble type stuff going on… though i sometimes prefer wild cherry pepsi to cherry coke… not sure what i’m thinking - probably because i’m after the “sugar” taste at that point. how about you?
