Click here to see a perfectly weird goal. This is a truly silly statement on international football. Might expect this type of goal at a high school game.

Air Travel … better enjoy the ads
When I compare intra-Europe flying to continental US flying, the two major differences for me are that there are many more direct flights from city to city in Europe (no hub & spokes) and that it is harder to feel the (economic) pinch on European airlines. While...
Photosynth… courtesy of Microsoft
Now, you have to be impressed with this new technology from Microsoft (shared in Monterrey in March 07). Thanks to my good friend Ned in Montreal who sent me the link, here is Photosynth software which is basically able to create complex hyperlinks of multiple images...
The Stanley Cup Finals & American Sports Leagues
Sometimes, when I watch North American sports, I cannot help but wonder what it is all for. You battle all season, then come the playoffs. For sports like baseball (162 regular season games) and basketball (82 games), the regular season seems endless. Then, according...

Women in Art
My good friend Brenda in Montreal turned me on to this You Tube sequence (2min52). See this serenade of women in art. As Brenda says: "Mostly white women, male composer" and worth the watch.
Desperate Housewives – a Soap Opera?

Believe in UFOs?
My pal Bob from New York sent me this link about a UFO sighting at O'Hare (that has since been taken down!). Seems like too many people saw it not to consider it. Was it Richard Branson playing a joke with his new airline? What do you think?
Media panel at Yale University
At the Yale Reunion this weekend, I attended--thanks to a happy acquaintance with an '82 Yalie--a media panel entitled "Meet the Press". The panel consisted of four '82 grads from Yale, featuring Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota Senator -D), Richard Greenberg (NBC), Maggie...
Air France to New York
Ce billet concerne mon vol de Paris à New York la semaine dernière. A titre privé, j'ai voyagé à New York sur mon propre budget et donc en économie, pour assister à ma 20e anniversaire depuis que j'ai quitté l'Université de Yale. J'ai voyagé fréquement sur...
