New Comm. Tech. Blog Post One

As communication technologies become widely available to the masses the immediate effect is a shrinking of perceived distances on the planet.

One hundred years ago telephones were first becoming popular and common. Even then though, a call could not be made from Whitewater, WI and connected with someone in Tokyo. For long range messages, the telegraph was still the predominant message transmitter.

Over the years telephones became cheaper and millions more lines of cable were laid to connect all the telephones on the planet.

Now we can go one step further. Not only can we call anyone on the planet we'd like, we can also see them on the computer with the use of webcams. Businesses men and women no longer need to fly to meetings with clients, they need only connect to the internet and turn on their web cam.

It'll be interesting to see where new communication technologies take us in the future. Perhaps live hologram images are next?

A dream is a dream

Last night I had an interesting dream. I don't remember much about it other than I was in some dark, dank and dilapidated building in which there was some kid who had been kept there his entire life. Maybe he was a ghost, I'm not really sure. I experienced the same reality and events in the dream twice. Both times I was with a handful of people, at least one of whom was a police officer, and we'd hear this god-awful tormented shriek and we'd go in search of it. We knew it was this boy/ghost. I wasn't afraid rather concerned.

Mike Cameron was in the dream as well. Except the part of the dream that he kept on showing up in was not in that run down building but in front of the Regent Appartments here in Whitewater.

Dreams are interesting. Really interesting.

Last night I bowled the best game I've ever had. 143. I know that's just hitting .476 but it was awesome. I used to not bowl much at all but over the last six months I've been getting quite a bit better. It's fun. I draw my inspiration from San Antonio Spurs forward/center Tim Duncan. Whenever he's up there making a free throw he's always so intent, focused and seeing himself making that shot. I take a couple of seconds longer than most people when I'm standing up there getting reading to make that bowl. I see the pins, I see myself making the shot, I start moving and it flys down the runway. BAM! strike

LIFE IS GOOOOOOOD
