Train Wreck Woods

Train Wreck Woods!

The full story of Tiger Woods accident isn’t still clear. Woods is only making this problem worst for himself. By not telling the story of where he was going at 2:30 a.m. is making things bad. People and big media outlets are making up their own versions. Woods keeps only saying that it’s a private matter, which may be true. But when your in the spot light for being the number one golf player in the world people want to know. And now he’s hired an attorney, so it makes people wonder what is going on. If he has nothing to hind, what’s the problem, just tell us what’s going on. The longer Woods wait’s, people and the media will just keep making things up, true or not. It’s a PR nightmare, hopefully he’ll come clean soon.

2009 AL MVP

2009 AL MVP!

This year the American League Most Valuable Player Award goes to, Joe Mauer, catcher for the Minnesota Twins. I read that he was the second catcher in 33 years to win the AL MVP. And he almost got all first place votes, 27 of the 28. His total points cast by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America was 387. I personally feel that the Baseball Writers’ Association of America got it right. Mauer is one of the greatest MLB Players to ever play this game. He may not be a slugger, he doesn’t get a lot of RBIs, what he does do is get on base. He’s also one of the best catchers ever to play. The next closest player to him in points was Mark Teixeira 225 points, Derek Jeter 193, and Miguel Cabrera came in forth with 171 points. He also won this years AL Gold Glove. I sure hope that the Minnesota Twins find away to keep him, and not trade him to the Yankees, but you know the Yankees got the money, and will pay to have him.

Search For More!

So what did you guys think about the video of the fairly new search engine leapfish? I liked it, I think it’s a great way to find information. Most search engines out there only return information from within their system. With leapfish, you get information from across the Internet. For an example, if you select to do your searching in real time for, let’s say a dog, you get results from Youtube, Twitter, Digg and a few other social media sites. Or you can so a regular search to get search results from the big G, Google, Bing, and Yahoo. And they don’t stop there, you can search using categories. Again, you can type in the search box “bikes,” then click on the shopping category, you will get results from places like eBay, Amazon, and a few other to purchase a bike. Then if you want an image of a bike, click on images, and guess what you get, images of bikes. I’ve personally have never seen this type of searching before, I like it a lot. I will definitely be using these guys again. The layout of the site, and the information that you get from your searches is amazing. So consider leaving who your using know, and make the switch.

Closed Captioning

Closed Captioning!

Google Inc. today is introducing automatic, machine generated captions for the videos on YouTube. This is a forum of a new service from Google. They launched this week for only a few of their top channels on YouTube. A few of those channels are PBS, National Geographic, as well as for a few schools. This new technology is intended to make online videos accessible to the deaf and hearing-impaired. Although there’s video’s already with captions YouTube would like to see this feature on all of them. People that upload video‘s right now are adding captions manually, which could take time for the user. This will hopefully save time for the user, and space for YouTube. And another thing to think about is, with this new speech recognition technology this could give YouTube more of the market share, which would mean for money from advertisers. After all that’s all Google really cares about, right, or I’m wrong?
