Biblically speaking, last night's decision turned the Cavaliers into a pillar of salt. LeBron James, former pillar of the community, has opted out of Cleveland for one simple reason, and I quote:
"Miami gives LeBron James the best chance to talk about LeBron James in the 3rd person, because most people there don't understand the language anyway."
Sorry big man, Ali you're not. And Elvis was the King. You may take over Miami as Archbishop or Archduke, but right now you're the arch-enemy to a lot of former fans. Your massive talent seems to only be eclipsed by your massive ego. For all the fans you gained last night, you lost a thousand-fold more. The LeBron James Comedy Hour proved to be as unwatchable as 8-hours of Super Bowl lead-in. Redundant, self-serving, and all in the name of stacking the deck (your opinion) against the league. People rooted for Mr. James in the past because he seemed like one of the good guys, but his self-interest in being bigger than the game and bigger than the average beat was pathetic. There's no "I" in Team, but there's no "LBJ" in Team either. Mark it down, the infighting will begin sooner rather than later. I suddenly find myself a huge fan of, eh, EVERY OTHER NBA TEAM! Correct that, I actually hate the NBA but now I have reason to watch if only to see Mr. Big slip from the mountaintop. Somewhere, P.T. Barnum is smiling.
A Canadian film-maker is trying for a new perspective in the movie business, trying to have a REAL eye for his subject matter. Rob Spence lost his right eye when he was 13 years old, in an accident playing with his grandfather's gun. The now 36-year-old Spence had the eye removed in 2005 after years of deterioration, and had a prosthetic inserted. Now he's replaced the prosthetic with a wireless video camera that runs on a tiny 3-volt battery. The camera has a wireless transmitter that allows him to transmit what he is seeing directly to a computer. It's reportedly a weak signal right now, but he's working on a stronger transmitter. Spence says he's hoping to use his camera eye to record "truer" conversations than what would be possible with a handheld camera. The only down-side he's experienced so far is that whenever he goes to speak, only two sentences come out:
"Where is John Connor?" and "I'll be baaaaack!"
