The worst kept secret is now public.

Will the video iPod move mainstream video off of cable? Maybe not. But it may be the trigger for mainstream video blogs and pod casts, downloadable TV shows, live video. Something big is going to happen. It will also be interesting to see if/how Sony reacts with their PSP.

There may be an opportunity for a bloglines-like app for notification of new video content -- an RSS based TV guide. Or maybe a Flickr for home video?

I had the pleasure of witnessing a high-spirited basketball match between the McMaster Marauders and the Western Mustangs last weekend. These young women play hard and look good doing it!

Of course watching paint dry would be exciting in the presence of two beautiful girls. Thanks to Kate and Suzan. ;-)

What is a marauder? Or a mustang? Neither moniker seems very appropriate.
