Domination: (n.) The 2008 USA Olympic Swim Team

I predict that we'll find out (either during these Olympic games or in the future) that some of the Chinese gymnasts were too young to compete and USA will get the gold.

Let's wait and see. Here's a story on it:

More questions about Chinese gymnasts’ ages

Update: An investigation is under way now. Just go to this article below and look at the picture of that girl. There's no way she's 16. More like 9 years old. What the heck, China?

I was looking at what items people were buying on the MadisonClick Shopping site and found some funny t-shirts and aprons and stuff made by a company. Here are my favorites:

• "Be Nice to Me or I'll Poison Your Food" Embroidered Apron
• "Grill Sergeant" Embroidered Apron (a good gift for a military person)
• "I Run with Scissors" Embroidered Apron
• "Caution, I Run with Knives" Embroidered Apron (a nice twist)
• "Never Trust a Skinny Chef" Embroidered Apron (reminds me of my friend, Thom Petty)
• "I Fix Seven Dollar Haircuts" Embroidered Apron (a good gift for a hair stylist)
• "I'll do the grilling, you do the chillin" Embroidered Apron (my second favorite)
• "Captain Cook, arghhhhh" Embroidered Apron (definitely my favorite)
• "I'm the Chef, That's Why" Embroidered Apron
• "I'll Cook, You Clean" Embroidered Apron (that's a plan!)
• "More Wine Less Whine" Embroidered Apron
• "Stressed backwards is Desserts" Embroidered Apron
• "You Kill It, I'll Grill It" Embroidered Apron (nice!)
• "Watch out, I burn water" Embroidered Apron (another good one)
• "Liver alone Cheese mine" Embroidered Apron (ugh, I hate liver)
• "I'm still hot, it just comes in flashes" Embroidered Apron (good gift for a lady with a sense of humor)
• "Too Many Chefs Not Enough Dishwashers" Embroidered Apron (right on!)

Remember these around Christmas time. It's fun to give funny gifts to people.

Aussies crack cancer secret

That's great if it's true and I suspect it is. You know, I heard like maybe 10 years ago that someone working at a major drug company had the cure to "some major disease" sitting in their fridge at home but the company wouldn't release this cure because they were making too much money off of the drugs that treated the symptoms. They chose money over people (greed). Maybe that's an urban legend or conspiracy theory, I don't know, but it sounds like it could be true and makes you wonder why the Australians found the cure first.

Anyway, let's hope this does the trick for cancer patients. This is very good.

I think that we've seen a plateau in technology for the last 10 years or so but I think we're about to see another giant upward curve again. The 1980s had the personal computer and the 1990s had the Internet. We didn't see major things in the 2000s except for a lot of improvements on existing technology but it seems like there is a lot of research going on and I suspect we'll see the fruit of that research very soon and the whole world will change again.

Just look at hybrid fuel technology. Look at the opening of the Olympics (wow!). And now advances in cancer. Things should start to get pretty exciting in the world of technology.
