Who doesn’t want to build a really smart robot? The trouble is, many people don’t think outside the box enough. Me? I don’t think it needs to be a box. I say we start designing for the possibilities soon to come instead of holding ourselves back.

Like many of you, I’ve had many different jobs in my life and I’ve had many people in the workplace I’ve had to answer to. Like some of you, I’ve been in that other place…being the person in charge of others. Whatever side of the relationship you are on, it’s an interesting ride.

Some people just get picked last. It’s their destiny. How do I know? I’m one of them. People who aren’t left as …

One aspect of basketball games really bugs me: the amateurish attempts to distract foul shooters. It’s shameful how a partisan crowd, especially university crowds, are unable to get their act together to enact some sort of coordinated plan to distract opponent foul shooters. Shameful.

The 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, like any 64-team tournament, holds the promise of many interesting games. Games that will be competitive. Games featuring teams I want to watch. This tournament is touted by ESPN as having all the games available. Well…perhaps for some.

As a vehicle to let us see John Connor (finally), this was the episode. The story itself tied up a lot of loose ends, helped confirm and deny fan speculations, but most of all it revealed, for the first time, that John is bigger than the events he has to deal with.

The concept of soul ages isn’t exactly new or unique. Religions that espouse reincarnation are built on this very concept. But can you tell? Is there some say to determine if a person’s soul is young, old, or somewhere in between? What does it matter?

Michelle Obama, First Mom of the United States (and gracious First Lady, as well), spoke with kids (and parents) about how important it is to instill a sense of personal responsibility about life and education early.

As season 2 of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles reaches its revelatory four episode climax, we are left considering the larger issues of this universe: who is good, who is evil, and what is going on this this war? Is it bigger than John Connor?

I live in the United States desert southwest. As the name “desert” broadcasts, our major resource headache is water—or, rather, the lack of water. We are fast approaching a situation where the effect on national food supplies as well as population health could become an issue.

Money flowing out. Body self-destructing. Worry. Stress. Resigned. Patient. Tired. Just another typical week. Oh joy.

I’ve never been a fan of conventional tournament brackets. They are essentially set up as coronation runs for the top seed.I think the best course is a little bit of “favored nation” combined with a bit of randomness to make things interesting. I suggest a tiered system.

The Bracket has been announced. The question is, will this be a coronation of UConn, or will someone be able to rise up to stop their run?
