Simple Viewer

I like the slideshow that you can create using Simple Viewer. It looks good, works well and is easy to use, plus with the right tool you can customize it to a certain degree. It's free and the free version does the job very well. I saw it first on the Oakland Tribune newspaper site and was a little surprised that they use the free version. Actually I was a little more surprised that the Oakland Tribune was still around, but couldn't they afford to pay the $45 for the pro version and add some custom features?

Year round football

I never noticed it until this week, but pro and college football don't have any weeks off on ESPN now. They have the NFL Live show on all year. It seems like the NFL draft was way overblown in terms of coverage, but after that it hasn't slowed down. You have mini camp, trade talk, the lead up to the pre-season and then the season and playoffs. It pretty much never ends. I guess the same is true with the NBA and with soccer worldwide.
