Before I launch my expletive & irate diatribe against NBC, here are some observations on the opening ceremony and the first 3 days of London 2012: 1) When I saw the Madascar contingent, I expected Madagascar 2 and Madascar 3 to follow.

There was something really honest for the uninitiated and lacking in confidence for the well-trained tennis junkie, in what he said, when Rafael Nadal repeatedly tried to highlight the fact that Novak Djokovic had gotten the better of him 5 times this year already in a championship final, during his post-match interview at the […]
Stuff you can do with just an iPhone in your hand is amazing. Here is a Google Earth 3D video of a recent 5.08 mile run I did in Chicago. Just for kicks, here is the video…
