I’ve asked ten people for ten random subjects that they would like my opinion on. Here’s installment #1, courtesy of Carlo Casuga.

….
1. Hockey>NFL>MLB>NBA. Strongly disagree.Based on the percentage of the season I pay attention to each sport, the order is as follows: NFL: Entire regular and post season, NBA: Most of regular season and all of playoffs, MLB: August-October but only until the Giants are mathematically eliminated OR Yankees v. Red Sox in the post season. NHL: Only when the Sharks are past the first round of the playoffs and there’s nothing better on.
2. Iconia. It’s like a iPad / Laptop hybrid. Looks cool but I don’t think it will catch on. You don’t need two touch screens, especially if it seems like one is going to be used for mostly menus and a keyboard. Plus, nothing can replace the efficiency of a real keyboard.
3. Future Tech (after Kinect). I don’t think that holographic imaging is in the near future. I think that idea might explored a little bit but will soon die. A lot like 3-D movies in the 70’s and 80’s. However, a few decades down the line it will be something that is revisited with better technology. A lot like 3-D movies now. Will it last? Who knows. I don’t have any intention of buying a 3-D television set.
4. Remifications of human cloning. Have you seen the movie Multiplicity?
5. MMORPGs.I’ve never got into it, but they look to be very addictive. If I was more of a gamer and didn’t like real life interaction as much as I do, I might get hooked to something like this. I’ve seen it eat up a lot of my friends’ social lives, so I’m not really interested. But then again I said the same thing about ecstasy until I tried it.
6. NES Comeback. The nostalgic value of video games is cool but I don’t think that technology from 25 years ago can “come back”.
7. Home school. No. No. No. No. I understand the reason people do this, but I don’t think its fair to the children. Home schooling deprives them of valuable social interaction with their would-be peers as well as a chance to develop their own personalities and opinions. You’ve got to be a real control freak of a parent to do this to your child, and that’s bullshit.
8. Pong. If we’re talking about table tennis, I’d play for hours if I could. Light-weight sandpaper paddles favor my style of play. If we’re talking about the ping pong show in Thailand, I’m down with that too. The classic video game was a tad before my time, so I’m leaning towards ‘no’ for that.
9. Obama. It’s been a couple years and I’m really surprised that no one’s tried to kill him yet. Not that he deserves it. I think he’s doing great considering what he was left with. I don’t like conservative thinking so I’ll be pressing ‘re-elect’ button when it comes time.
10. Mexicans. I used to call them “the kind that can” because they CAN do stuff (i.e gardening, handy work, sell fruit on the side of the road, make awesome tacos). They reproduce fast. If you want to know what makes them tic, ask Jose. I’m sure he will provide you with a list. I’m almost certain beans and rice are on there, but I can’t verify that. I’m not being racist. I’m just saying.
