In a step to avoid being blocked from competing in the NCAA championships, today the University of Utah has changed their mascot from the historic “Ute” to the running “Jaffa”. As the Jaffa are a race of alien beings that are not from this planet, they stand in no danger of being boycotted by the fair and balanced NCAA sports management office.

Very interesting read. I’ve not even heard of half of these sites. As I didn’t really live in San Francicso, none of them would have been very practical for me.

I have to say this guy makes some interesting points. However disturbing some of the games out on the market are, sensorship is even more disturbing to me than violent games. IMHO, parents should be those who filter activities in which their children participate. The fact that goverment is trying to dig its grubby hands into what we are able to do with our lives is not comforting.

I came across this article on one of my techno-geek e-newsleeter subscriptions. Without hearing all the ins-and-outs of this case, she has a pretty good chance of crushing the giant.

Subject: GLOBALIZATION

Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer: Princess Diana’s death.

Question: How come?

Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by an Englishman, using Bill Gates’s technology, and you’re probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals…..

That, my friends, is Globalization

This is an old article but I thought it worthy of noting on the site. A new health alert over chemicals used in make-up, shampoo and soaps.
