Football excitement

I have made a few jokes recently regarding Wayne Rooney, and I now take them all back and apologize profusely and say Wayne, you're a God.

Just now in the Manchester Derby (pronounced Darby) meaning a game between two teams in the same city, in this case Man United vs. Man City. Rooney put in a goal that will be remembered for the ages. A cross from Nani found Rooney near the far post and he, well what can I say?, he just put it in. See image above.

I'm not a huge sports fan, but when I see something like this, I tingle all over. And I wonder why? I am thinking it's because we are reminded on a moment like this that humans can be really amazing, and thrilling and just plain fun. This can happen in a lot of areas, like art and science. But sport is so immediate, meaning right now, in your face and makes me throw up my arms and shout.

Thanks Wayne Rooney. Your life and mine are better for this amazing shot. Whoo Hoo.

Inspired by the clones on my train this afternoon

Apologies to John Lennon where ever he may be.

Imagine there's no iPhone
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Actually face to face

Imagine there's no Apple
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to spend or charge for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living in the present

You may say that I'm a dreamer
and I might be the only one
I hope someday you'll go away
and the phones will all be gone

Imagine no smart phones
I wonder if you can
But you can't really hear me talking
cause those buds are in your ear
Imagine all the people
talking man to man

You may say that I'm a dreamer
even though I'm the only one
I hope someday you'll wake up
and dump them all down the john.

Filling in the gaps

Just now on the TV news there was an item about the Vatican's new iphone app. It allows users to perform and track their confessions. Guidance is given regarding sin severity and penance and that is now being tracked. This information is then updated to VatGod, the Vatican's world wide Believer Information System (BIS).

This reminds me that I have been remiss in reporting the other side of this massive effort. There is also a Vatican project whose code name I have forgotten but to the insiders is simply known as GodNet. I have been following this for quite a while and have several insiders that feed me updates as important development occur.

So I checked in with one of these fellows, they're all men you know, for any news. The final sticky problem is, and has been for a while, the interface between BIS and GodNet into Him himself. There have been encouraging signs of contact and they are being researched and refined. Thanks to a generous grant from Google, the entire bible in all it's variations is being scoured for relevant knowledge.

The most recent breakthrough is based on data from 1 Kings 7:14. Bronze is prominently mentioned as the work required for King Solomon. Bronze, as we know has a resistivity constant just slightly below that of the copper that has traditionaly been used in electronic circuits. Substituting bronze in place of copper in the God Interface Module (GIM) has greatly increased the signal to noise ratio of the connection. He can be heard quite clearly now.

The final step is to simply hook up the GIM to GodNet and thence to the BIS. This will come soon. We can all look forward, at no extra cost, to the big guy, God, embedded and guiding our iphone use. What a glorious day! Please support this effort by sending $19.95 by simply texting to 78666 with promo code "count me in".
