Sculpture has been my favourite art form since I saw Michelangelo’s work in the Louvre, 1976.

the Final 4 – in Chess
It’s March Madness. The NCAA basketball playoffs begin. For many sports fans this is the biggest and best event of the sitting-on-the-couch-drinking-beer sport year.
More interesting to me than baseketball is the Final 4 in chess. Is this the year that lowly Miami Dade Community College takes it all?
The team is made up of Cuban refugees and immigrants. They already upset Harvard in December and are gearing up for this year’s Final 4 next month in Dallas.
A front page story on the underdogs upstarts appeared in The Wall Street Journal’s Weekend Edition, March 4-5, 2006.
The perennial University chess superpowers are worried about the t-shirt and flipflop clad Cubans.
Happy Birthday ET !!
All the best Elaine. Thanks for everything.
What is Web 2.0?
To oversimplify, Web 1.0 was commerce. Web 2.0 is people.
Increasingly online users generate or interact with content — blogs, podcasts, music, video — rather than simply consume it.
The web rather than the desktop will be the dominant platform. Interactivity is key.
I’m agree. These days I hardly ever open Word, Excel or Powerpoint.
I update this blog online from any computer, for example.
top economies in 2026?
Economist magazine predicts China will almost certainly overtake the USA. The top 4 nations in 2026: China, USA, India, Japan.
Other nations with good potential include Russia & Brazil.
Listen to free podcasts on the Economist website.
Want to become a podcaster?
Rockin’ Ronnie dreams of becoming a podcaster. Perhaps even a video podcaster. Always ahead of the trends, Ron posted a video clip last spring — called BSTV (Barbecue Secrets TV)
As another example, Ron bragged on AMANDA CONGDON, the anchor of a mock TV news report shot on a camcorder, edited on a laptop and posted on a blog called ROCKETBOOM, which now reaches more than 100,000 fans a day. Yowser!
I subscribed to her video podcast (vlog — video weblog) from the iTunes store immediately. Quite good, I thought.
One day everyone will have a blog. Everyone will be able to publish photos, music, video as easily as we can download them now.
Personalized content will be king.

World Fantasy Convention 2008 in Calgary
No, you cannot yet buy your tickets.
Cowgary unexpectedly won the bid November 6th. My brother Randy was as surprised as anyone — and he was the man pitching cowtown.
You see Calgary had just finished hosting a very successful Western North American Science Fiction & Fantasy conference: Westercon 2005 – Due North!
Enthusiasts from that event decided to make a bid for the Worlds, last minute. And they won.
You can countdown the days on the World Fantasy website.
