the world's moving pretty fast out there
merci beaucoup to kfan for forwarding along this story from the NYTimes about HiMpact Sports a new technology that "reduces a three-hour baseball game to an eight-minute experience" by cutting out all non-action that takes place during a game. not that i'd want to watch every game at that pace, but for fantasy or highlight purposes it could certainly be helpful and enlightening (e.g. was Scott Rolen's 0-for-4 last night that bad or did he just hit a lot of balls right at people?; or how far did that Richie Sexson homerun go?). as Marc prophesized less than 3 weeks ago, "it would be like your own personal 'baseball tonight.'" i would get up 10 minutes earlier every morning for that.
on a side note, can anyone read the Circuits section of the Times without that creepy, cloying, only-child from the commercials popping into your head saying "...and what's happening on the web." i think it's starting to drive me insane. thank the sweet lord it's only a once a week section otherwise i may have knifed myself in the brain by now.
