Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

If you went to the U2 concert at Rice Eccles Stadium May 24, we hope you smiled. You were on camera! The U2 360 FanCam images were taken after The Fray’s performance. It appears they used a solution similar to Pictometry, a law enforcement tool. Visit www.u2.com/gigapixelfancam/110524. You can zoom in and move around the stadium [...]

Sometime in the fall of 1991, I heard Nirvana’s  Smells Like Teen Spirit.  The music hit me in the face like a brick. After one listen I was hooked.  I bought the CD almost immediately.  Nearly 20 years later the song still reminds me of some great days in college. Today’s thought is about how [...]
