Technology and the Olympics

Technology and getting online was a big help for me during Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.  Looks like I will be using technology more than ever during 2012!

The fans, the Olympic committee, the athletes and the sponsors will be tech savy as they post, navigate, check the maps and tweet away.  In Beijing six million were using Twitter, that figure will be at least 140 million during the London Games.

With so many portable light weight devices the London fans will carry them into the stadiums and catch the action close up even if their seat is far away. No doubt the athletes and fans will be tweeting away.  Fans around the world who are unable to attend, will be able to interact with those attending the games; their family, friends or just folks they follow.  There is nothing more exciting than the feeling of being right there, but 'almost being there' where it all happens will be a close second!

Wimbergs Proud of Our Family Winner

Opa!  Our Lindsey Petrosh became Miss New Jersey this weekend.  Lindsey's mom, Joyce Wimberg Petrosh, my first cousin, is a Wimberg from Egg Harbor City in Southern part of NJ.  Egg Harbor, our family, and the entire state is bursting with pride!
