Apple's big annual keynote was earlier today, and as reported by others, it was a bit of a letdown. But at the same time, it confirms to me how smart they are; they recognize that consumer spending is down (way down. way, way down) and as a result, aren't bringing anything that dynamic to the table. While it's disappointing to us enthusiasts -- we all want the "new, new thing" from a macroeconomic standpoint it makes perfect sense. So calm down everyone; I have a feeling that they still have plenty of cool products up their sleeve. And oh yeah: everyone should leave Steve Jobs alone now and respect his privacy.

On a completely different note, after what has seemed a lifetime, I think it's safe to to finally say that Michigan basketball is back. Our program has been virtually dormant for so many years it isn't funny. We went from Fab Five to doormat and it seemed as if things would never get better. Last year we brought in John Beilein from West Virginia, and suffered through our worst season ever; 10-22 (or thereabout). Despite our crappy year, this guy is one of the more innovative coaches out there and as it turned out, our guys simply needed time to learn his system, which is exceptionally complex. I think we have surprised everyone this year and at 11-3, and having defeated Duke AND UCLA (and Illinois) thus far, our chances for qualifying for the NCAA tournament seem bright. It's nice to see the program moving in the right direction and I genuinely believe that we will see our football program follow a similiar path of progression next year.
