Yes, yes, it has been a long time but I’m back and ready to start a new blog season. Perhaps, I have slacked off over the past year, but I promise this time, I’m for real. Keep a watch for all of my blogs, interesting or not, and kick back some comments. I’d love to hear from you all. So, please, sit back, in front of your computer screen and enjoy the show folks.

As I was chatting with my friend the other night, I came across this really cool messanger program. No it wasn’t another AIM with a different email server, or another email client. Its name is Trillian. One of the greatest messaging softwares I’ve ever seen, I believe it might be one of the hottest products of 2006. Not only does it create separate messanging accounts for Yahoo, AIM, MSN, and other Trillian-supported messanging programs, but it has a very user friendly environment. In its options menu it carries many colorful tabs, and really makes it easy for those computer illiterrates. It easily allows users to manage all their different messanging accounts . Moreover, it is awesome.

To get Trillian, go to www.download.com and search for Trillian 3.1 – the latest version, I’m not kidding it is very good 

Today, President Bush handed out his annual National Technology Award to people who contributed greatly to the fields of Science and Technology. Established by Congress in 1959, the National Science Foundation picks the recipients. President Bush stated, “”The spirit of discovery is one of our national strengths,” at the ceremony in front of White House’s East Room. He continued to say, “Our greatest resource has always been the educated, hardworking, ambitious people who call this country their home.” IBM came out on top as a company to win this award. IBM, as you all probably know is one of the world’s top computer, data storage, and internet technology companies.

As I find myself watching the olympics and ESPN almost all the time, I see one glaring headline: KWAN OUT OF OLYMPICS, DOESN’T SPECULATE ON RETIREMENT. All of a sudden I feel a brain impulse (it happens a lot): Why does everyone care so much. Don’t get me wrong here, I love Michelle Kwan. She’s always been my favorite skater by far. But, when the Olympics relates to teamwork and nationalism, people are downright depressed with Kwan’s exit. I won’t say it’s unwarranted but I would still stress get back on track. There are a lot more interesting story lines than Kwan. To start with the US Women’s Ice Hocky Team is in the semifinals and are trying to advance. Bode Miller only finished 5th, to my dismay, after all his fanfare. we had a peculiar gold finish in 5000 meter Speed Skating by Hendrick. The list is only getting better. Whatever you are rooting for, lay off of the exit of Kwan. It only takes away from what the games stand for.

By the way, if any of you are missing out on all of this action, watch the NBC networks (NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, etc..) and USA Network (Trust me, you’re not the only one)

How ya doin everyone? I’ve been kind of busy over the last few weeks, so I wasn’t able to update my blog, but from now on I should be able to give an entry almost every day. Thanks a lot for staying in tune.

As you all probably know, Intel runs its annual Science Talent Search, this year with a field of over 1580 students. Out of those 1580 students, one of my best friends, Sauhard Sahi, won the honor of Semifinalist, as he looks to make it to the next round. He is one of only three hundred people. Not only did he get $1000, the school also received a $1000. The finalist results will release tomorrow

It certainly wasn’t the matchup that I was hoping to see. But nevertheless, it will take place, whether we believe it or not. All that running and sweating and “tiring” is all a waste for most NFL players, as the 32 teams have become two in this great stage of “glory.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers are definitely a team to be reckoned with. As Ben Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu (Sorry if I spelled it wrong Troy) lead their respective sides of the ball, they must worry about the disputed NFL MVP, Shaun Alexander. A week after a concussion, Alexander busts it with 34 carries for 132 yards and two touchdowns. Despite the four yard average, what else could a coach fear. The Steelers will step up as they have the whole playoffs. If Alexander however doesn’t do well, the Seahawks hopefully will have a plan B. Because, w/out Alexander, the Seahawks are insignificant on the field. The Seattle defense will have to step up as Ben Roethlisberger is finally coming “into his own” as he played extremely well these playoffs. Matt Hasselback, despite being selected to the Pro Bowl, hasn’t really showed that he belongs there. He hasn’t led the team. Hopefully he can prove something. This game is an easy decision.

“Dr. Y’s” Predictions:

31 – 11, Steelers over Seahawks
