Until 2 years ago, I was never really into watching sports. Growing up, I watched some hockey with my dad but as I got older, I stopped tuning in. It just wasn’t for me; I didn’t like the violence or the stigma that surrounded certain players and teams – it was just all to aggressive. It wasn’t until my sophomore year of high school when I subscribed to NBA on Youtube on a whim that I actually starting following a major league sport. I just really liked the basketball highlights. They were dramatic, athletic, and oddly relatable but I didn’t have time to watch a full game. That being said, watching NBA highlights just weren’t a time commitment. I could do all my work, talk to my friends and then go on youtube and catch the highlights.

Thinking about how technology has impacted how we watch sports in general, it’s hard to ignore the dwindling attendance of sporting events. With the advancement of instant replay, watching a game at home almost makes you feel closer to the action than when you go and see it live. Sitting on my couch watching the Packers play, I get instant replay, ariel views of the stadium, great commentary, and I don’t have to freeze my ass off watching a night game over Thanksgiving. I think it was genius for the Cowboys to put in a giant screen in their stadium because it brings some of the advantages of new technology along with the excitement and atmosphere of stadium. I don’t think that people will stop going to games, but if other owners don’t take this account soon, I see ticket prices falling fast.

I got into basketball by watching the highlights but over time as I started to know the teams, I started to care. Now, trying to full me a way from a basketball game during the playoffs is one really tough task.

FYI if you haven’t seen this, it’s worth watching. I almost had a heart attack: 

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day and realized how much technology has changed and how behind I am. I just recently upgraded to apple products last November and this would mark my year with an apple product. I now have three apple products which I honestly barely know how to really work. The updates just keep coming and I just don’t find time to actually play around and be tech savvy. It is a sad thing, but I was never really someone who invested her time in technology. I was always a busy body only using my phone to talk and text and occasionally surf the web. Apps always helped as well with anything that I really needed from my Droid that I had. I just wanted the simple things in life from my phone.

When I got into the Apple world, it was something totally different to me. I was a Droid and Windows type of girl. Switching to an iPhone was really confusing at first. I got the basics down, but I still had a lot to learn. Up to this day I am still learning about the many things that I could do with my phone and computer. I can say I am impressed with Apple’s improvements over the years and the collaboration between the products that they have going on with iCloud. I’m still a bit iffy with the new updates that were released for the iPhone and Macs. I’m scared of the changes that might take place and I’d be lost without the friend that helped me get through my struggles.

I’ll be back home soon though with my friend to calm me with the updates so I will conquer my fears! Oh Apple…

I’ve been posting but I don’t know why they didn’t go through!

Anyways pounced on this hilarious article.

http://www.chicagonow.com/dad-all-day/2013/11/man-sues-wife-over-ugly-kids-and-wins/

Basically a man married a woman and they had 3 kids. However, after the kids were born the man accused the wife of having external affairs due to the ugliness of their children. Turned out that the wife had plastic surgery without the husband knowing. Things got out of hand and the husband actually sued the wife in court and won!

What do you guys think about this ridiculous incident?
