Entry for 2/16/06

This article touches on something that is so very, very true about communication over the internet.

Optical Illusions are pretty cool. These pictures take that to a whole different level with using simple paint in the right places:

A Lot of people don't even know how to drive their cars, and yet somehow we feel compelled in inventing technology so that they can fly them???

Finally, I heard this morning that last night's episode of American Idol received much better ratings than the Winter Olympics. Not a surprise really. Americans want to be entertained. They want to be entertained when THEY want it. Not when the network wants it. NBC holds up all of the good coverage until later on in the evening, and after most people have exhausted their ability to stay up. Add that to the fact that the results are easily discovered on the internet or the local news. Not much entertainment coming from the Olympics with all of that against it.
