My Prediction

Posted on by
Several folks have asked me to tell them who I think will win the Stanley Cup Finals this year.
 
Here is my answer: I believe the Pittsburgh Penguins will win the Cup this year. I think it is “their time”. I think they are younger and faster and bigger and have gained playoff and Finals experience.
 
I think they are very healthy and will be well rested. The schedule sets up well for them as well since back to back games are a good thing for the Penguins.
 
As usual, it will mostly come down to who has the best goaltending. But from firsthand experience I can tell you that the Penguins - right now - I believe are the best team in hockey and I believe they will win the Stanley Cup.

TV Makes You Unhappy

Growing up my mom never let me watch more than one hour of television per night.
 
She literally forced me to read; to play sports; to hang out with friends; to socialize; and to get out of the house. She hated television and she didn’t want me to become a couch slouch and waste hours aimlessly watching what she called “the boob tube”.
 
Moms always know best, don’t they?

I was really surprised when I saw this design for a new Google communications platform called Wave. Click here to see the prototype. It is a mash up of mail; messaging; search; social networking; Twitter; dashboard; and Flickr. You name it - it is here! And now on sale, for free! :-)
 
Google won in a broadband Web 2.0 world because its design was simple, elegant and non intrusive. It did no evil.
 
I always commented that in irony of ironies - in a broadband rich media world - a dial-up 2400 baud design won out! Grey. Blue. Light. Fast. No photos. No load time.
