NCAA and Summer

March 25th, 2008

Who would have thought the Michigan State Spartans would actually get some consistency and win out the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament?  Not me and I’m an alumni that wants nothing more than Drew Neitzel to get as far humanly possible in his last run at the NCAA.  Taking on Memphis won’t be easy, but hey, MSU SHOULD have beat UCLA (#1 at the time) back at the beginning of the season but ended up shooting themselves in the foot a few times.  If they can stay our of foul trouble, keep up a good pace to the game, and make foul shots (because Memphis is the worst free throw team in the NCAA) then this could be a very close and exciting game!  Go State!

At work I started an NCAA pool all via ESPN.com.  It’s 10 to play, winner take all.  I started soliciting co-workers about this a little too late, like 2 days before the first game so there are only 4 of us playing.  Whatever, I’ll take a +30 dollar win (I’m currently tied for first).  Hopefully I can pull out the victory.

 This past weekend I got a Bluetooth wireless headset, to be specific, the Jawbone.  This thing is intense.  It has some crazy military grade noise cancelling technology and it’s rated the best Bluetooth device on the market right now.  It uses the vibrations in your jaw to notice when you’re talking and to cancel background noise.  It’s about $130 bucks if you buy directly from the company but I ordered one through amazon.com for about 80 bucks, not to mention PGP picked up the tab!  I love gadgets, but I love free gadgets even more.

It looks like the snowboarding season is just about finished here in Utah.  It’s been in the 50/60s everyday for the past couple weeks in downtown Salt Lake City (40-50s in Park City).  I went snowboarding at Park City Ski Resort this past Saturday and the snow was horrible, icy and hard.  It was a pretty good season though, other than making me broke financially, it definitely stepped my snowboard game up.  No longer a beginner, you can call me a novice.  Next season I will def. look into getting a season pass for the Canyons.  Now I can start looking forward to camping in Utah!  So excited for summer.
