For a change in those coming from Galt
Maybe I haven’t been looking hard enough but Galt needs some more stories of those who have graduated from college. My friend Rob, who I didn’t give a strong chance of finishing, just graduated from San Francisco State with a major in International Relations.
Not happy with just a Bachelor’s degree, he is continuing on this fall to work on a Masters and soon thereafter a Doctorate degree in Political Science.
Anyway congrats!

Star Wars mashups and 30 year History Channel special
Along with the news that Lucasfilms will be providing Star Wars clips to be used in mashup and derivatives, the History Channel will present a two-hour special on Monday May 28th titled “STAR WARS: THE LEGACY REVEALED” Some of the people who were interviewed about the movies’ lasting appeal include Newt Gingrich, Peter Jackson, Dan Rather and Nancy Pelosi.
“Through interviews with politicians, academics, journalists and critics - all of whom weigh in on the enduring appeal of George Lucas’s creations - the special demonstrates that Star Wars isn’t just a high-action adventure in space. It’s a remarkably complex and sophisticated story about power, politics, sin, spirituality and redemption-almost Shakespearean in its power, humor, presentation and influence.”

Professional soccer coming to the San Francisco Bay Area
On Saturday (April 7th) I got to watch a great game in town - the California Victory against the Fiji National Team which the Victory won 3-2. A highly partisan Fijian crowd was treated to a high energy display by their countrymen but a couple of defensive mistakes opened the door for the Victory to sneak in two penalty shot goals and the win.
The Victory will be playing their home games at Kezar Stadium which will rawk! I can stagger home if necessary.
