Is it me or are cell phones making technology worse? Yahoo Mail just got updated and it's the latest in a long line of sites that has made itself simpler and less appealing to the eye in order to function better on cell phones. Telecommunication has taken a step back, switching from phone calls to text messages. Twitter has replaced individual blogs with blurbs. Whodathunkit?

In an unrelated thought, Adrian Wojnarowski has a great article on Lebron James's uniform switch. He talks about how the move wasn't to honor Michael but to chase Kobe for the lead in jersey sales (Kobe went to #1 when he switched to #24). I really hope that's true because to move to #6 is a slap in the face to Bill Russell. Sadly, it's a slap that I could see Lebron making since he's much more the businessman like Jordan and is seemingly unwilling to really take a stand politically ala Russell. Sadly, the most influential quote out of an athlete in the last few decades is His Airness's line on why he didn't endorse a candidate, "Republicans buy sneakers, too."
I'm sure Lebron is a good buy but between his corny antics and his icon-chasing ways, I really can't stand him. I know, as a Celtics fan, that I shouldn't say this but I'd much rather see the Lakers win the title than the Cavs. Let Ron Ron, not Lebron, get his first title. Granted, I'm not sure it will even get that far; I don't think the Cavs are going to beat the Orlando Magic.
