This evening NPR’s show “All Things Considered” had a piece on the internet and the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the 2007 Cricket World Cup<\/a> currently being held in the West Indies.  Most of the cricket part was about watching on the internet versus watching in a movie theater with the live satellite broadcast.  But at the end of the segment the host made the comment:<\/p>\n

“By the way, the big news from the tournament today was: A South African player made World Cup history when he smashed six sixes in an over.  If you care you understand.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It struck me that this captures this, and a lot of other blogs, perfectly.  Just as this description of a cricket accomplishment is almost totally incomprehensible to me, much of what I write about is probably gibberish to many other people.  But, “If you care, you understand.”<\/p>\n

And now back to our regularly scheduled news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
