Comment on More Olympic Controversy … Underage Gymnasts? by Brett

Hey Won! Brett McCracken here. I found your blog via gmail status message…
I’ve been writing about the underage Chinese gymnasts myself (and I have no doubt several of them are no older than 13). The best twist that I’ve heard in this whole saga is that one of the girl’s supposedly authentic passports has her birthday as Jan 1, 1992… which makes her eligible for this year’s Olympics by ONE day! Born a day earlier and she’d not be able to compete. How convenient!

Pau’s excuse was super lame. he tried to blame the photographer who suggested they all pose that way…

i rejoined facebook because it was an easy way for me to put up pics and connect with friends who i haven’t seen in awhile. unfortunately, there hasn’t been much followup to the initial “hi, how are things, we should catch up”…pretty sad but what can u do when you spend over 40% of the 24 hr day behind a computer or commuting to and fro the workplace.

thats why you gotta come over and play some cards or we gotta ball sometime. =p

Comment on Brendan Fraser Needs a New Agent … by Jon

Won, i still think Jet Li is the man and is not an anachronism.

he should be in every big martial arts/ action movie that holly wood releases. He is much cooler than Steven Seagal who still releases movies. (yes, I watch them.)

Michael Bay needs to direct a movie w/ Steven Seagal and Jet Li. Maybe they’ll fight the bad guys on an exploding oil rig.

i have to agree with much of what you say. i hope no one substitutes real community with what you get in a social network site, but it’s important to stay abreast with what kind of world our kids will grow up in. interestingly enough, you and i just connected online… so there is some benefit to this thing Al Gore created.

I have to disagree with you Wonki, I cannot embrace the social networking phenomenon that is happening with sites like Facebook and MySpace and the like. I feel that sites like these create a false sense of community and strip away real face-to-face interaction that man needs. It will indeed be interesting to see kids grow up totally connected socially on the net from birth on. Not all online communities are equivalent however: sites like Wikipedia, Mozilla, Slashdot, and dare I say Flickr are purpose driven and healthy forums that thrive with user contributed value and moderation. Though I love blogs, such as Wonkitime and Eatclub (shameless plugs), IMing, and Youtube, joining FaceSpace is where I draw the line.

online-communityless and proud,

bruce
