AC Results
On February 14th, Team Oracle BMW, USA-17 beat out the reigning champions, Alinghi, and brought the Cup home. Victory for America!
Overly Subjective
I'm not quite sure how figure skating is scored in the Olympics. I was caught up by the love story of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo, the Chinese pair. They ended with a record breaking score of 76.66 and I was certainly happy for them. I'm torn though, I feel that the Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig had a truly outstanding performance with such grace, flawless synchronization, and most of all, an apparent energy that radiated. They not only had fun on the ice, but they did so beautifully. I am disappointed by their score of 57.86. I think they deserved better. I hereby step of my soapbox.
Ultimate Ski Car
Nissan and Black Crows have teamed up to create a special edition Nissan Cube. The Cube comes in only Red or Blue, with the Black Crows logo on the door, and a pair of complimentary skis.
Epiphany
"... as my eyes closed, I vowed never to forget,
which is to say remember,
because to remember is so much more a worthy effort:
that for every action there is a reaction,
there is a positive to counteract the world's negatives,
that where hate resides, perhaps love may soon return."

Fashion Scouts
Apparently, Boy Scouts are fashionable now.
Quenchcloud's 2010 Spring/Summer collection, "Follow Me, Boy" is based on the BSA, all the way down to the fleur-de-lis on the hat.
Scratch Lower Post
Valentine's Day sucks. It should be renamed 'Single Awareness Day'.
Everyone looks so cute holding hands and leaning on shoulders. And then there's me.
Technical Difficulties
Time to pull out the snow machines. Seems Mother Nature is having some technical difficulty in producing proper weather for Vancouver's Olympic events. Apparently numerous events have been postponed for the time being.
P.S. I am rather undecided on this whole global warming thing, but I do want to draw attention to the fact that Fox News was attempting to mock the theory by taking a picture of An Inconvenient Truth in the east coast snow storm. So ummm, yeah...
