superbowl sunday

it's been a fun run this year with the seahawks. for me, the best part of today's game was the first quarter -- not a single first down for the steelers! a 3-0 lead! then it went downhill fast with bad plays and bad calls.

back from travel --> back from usc, where the annenberg school has a big and interesting initiative on online communities. i saw some friends and colleagues and met a lot of really sharp people. it will be interesting to see what comes out of this and larry gross certainly seems to be the kind of person who can make big things happen.

one of the trip's highlights was seeing my sister cara, steve, and their boys will and dolan. my nephews grow like magic weeds.
