CBS may have added TNT’s Charles Barkley and Kenny “The Jet” Smith to its NCAA Tournament Selection Show, unveiled a new set, new graphics and a jazzed up theme, but it was the same old, same old when it came to unveiling the teams for the expanded 68 team tourney. We had an energized Greg […]

I’m at a FedEx office in Cambridge, MA using its free wi-fi and taking every advantage of its LapNet Station. I could go all out and start using the copiers and printers, but free wi-fi is enough for me. I’m a happy blogger when I can connect from outside the office. It means you deserve […]
