Quote of the Day

"There are two kinds of truths, small truth and great truth. You can recognize a small truth because its opposite is a falsehood. The opposite of a great truth is another truth" -Neils Bohr

This is a Packers fan.

Wayne sold his house in Sydney and moved his family to Green Bay, so he could follow the Packers for one season. He is attending all the games , home and away.

If you are a fan of the Packers, The Once In A Lifetime Fan.com is a must visit.

What is the NFL thinking?

One of the great things about blogs is that your opinion is captured and, if people are listening, is heard.

The National Football League has a near perfect product; one that is designed for television, one that advertisers want to be a part of, one that is wonderfully unpredictable. I could go on.

This game in London today and Goddell floating the balloon about staging the Super Bowl outside the US has me wondering if the League has completely lost its mind. I don't understand why you would takeaway home game from a team and its fans. NFL Europe didn't work; that should be a hint about the viability of American Football in the Old World. And then you are going to take what is turning into the single most important yearly sporting event and hold it in another country? You don't see the Premier League saying, "Let's stage a match at the Meadowlands."

Each of the major sports leagues seems to be forgetting to ask a simple question: "Is this what the fans want?" In the end, it is the only thing that keeps the machine running.

Trying out Tumblr

Tumblr is an interesting site that pulls together information from the wide variety of sources where you may be storing it. You can take your flickr photos, twitter messages, blog posts, and del.icio.us links and put it in all one place.

I used to try and put everything up here. You can see by the lack of material that that strategy is not working.

For family and friends, you probably want to watch my tumblr site going forward. It will be a better source of information about what is going on with me and the family. If the experiment fails, I will direct everyone back here.
