Louisville Chose Well When Selecting Strong

Not that there ever was any doubt, but it's clear Louisville Cardinals Athletic Director Tom Jurich is quite a bit smarter than me. A few weeks ago I suggested Texas Tech football coach Mike Leach could be a great fit for the Cardinals. Today it's apparent Leach is far from being a worthy candidate. Charlie Strong is an outstanding choice. Let's just hope we can keep him.

New Apple Tablet?

The Internet is rife with rumors Apple is going to release a new tablet computer next month. If details are true regarding a new tactile keyboard that's part of the actual LCD screen, Apple will have another hit on its hands. More on the rumored details can be read at Cult of Mac.

Disappointing Books

Just finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. I thought the book held tremendous potential, but the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel lost my interest.

I also found Cory Doctorow's new book Maker's disappointing. That's surprising, as I thought his last novel, Little Brother, was outstanding. There may well be nothing wrong with Maker's plot, character development or themes; I just never felt connected to the characters the way I did reading Little Brother, which pulled me in from the start. I suspect the suspension of belief required in Maker's simply accelerated too quickly, at least for me.
