Life…as it relates to Technology.

I have very few regrets in life. I believe you make decisions and you live by them – whatever the outcome. Yet I regret rushing home, barely acknowledging my family, and tuning in to ESPN to see “The Decision” last night. I was looking for the Pony, hoping against hope that somehow it would be [...]

Alternate titles I considered:
Tim Lincecum is Washed Up
Tim Lincecum’s Time is Over
Lincecum will Never Hit 90 Again
….and so on.
Let’s face it: he’s at least in a slump. Everyone is quick to dismiss it. “It happens, he’ll be back.”
He’s had a phenomenal career thus far. There’s no debate there. But I want to go on record [...]

I like Oden. He’s had plenty of time. We’ve seen how he’ll perform in the NBA. He’s not terrible, but he’s not a #1 overall player. Hopefully, he’ll get a full season in somewhere before injuries force him to retire. It’d be great if he could make an all-star game.
Tonight he fractured a knee cap [...]

Oh man, I had hoped this would all blow over and turn out to be a couple gold seeking liars. Unfortunately, it looks like Tiger is/was the one who was lying. TMZ is reporting that a FOURTH girl is coming forward and has already retained a Florida based attorney.

I’m fascinated with the excessive media coverage of the Tiger Woods’ car crash.  Right now, it appears as though the Florida Highway Patrol is going to press charges – careless driving - apparently because Tiger was using prescription medication at the time of the crash. I believe Tiger’s team handled this very poorly – from all [...]

A couple days ago, I wrote a favorable review of the Newton Stability Racers. About the same time as I bought the Newtons, I also bought a pair of Asics Gel Hyper 3’s. I haven’t logged near as many miles on the Asics, but I like them almost as much as I like the Newtons [...]

Everyone loves new gadgets. I’ve read several times about how the yellow Spira shoes were banned from the Boston Marathon (internal springs), but it was another yellow shoe that caught my eye (and my wallet). After looking carefully at the shiny yellow Newton Men’s Stability Racer, I decided to purchase a pair ($150) and try [...]

Okay – quickly – had to post this and some thoughts I’m struggling with…..
Until I witnessed the video below, I thought Michael Phelps was the most incredible athlete of these Olympics. Then, Usain Bolt broke the World Record for the 100 Meters while LETTING up toward the end? As a former sprinter, I have a [...]

First off, I confess to not being an Oregon fan (see voidgame.com), but the sportsman in me hates to see any athlete suffer and injury – much less an injury that will in all likelihood knock him out of contention for the biggest trophy in College Football!!!!
Dixon’s left knee buckled under him when he planted [...]

A friend of mine called me on a hobby I have listed on ScottDriza.com. I list “Golf, Weight Lifting, Writing, Peak Bagging, Running” in that order.
After reviewing that list, I realized it is not quite accurate. Instead, it should read:
Lunchtime Driving Range Golfer
Occassional Lifter of Weights
Fledgling Writer
Purchaser of Expensive Hiking/Mountain Gear
Treadmill Runner
Different companies are offering their services [...]
