jumbotron shaming


I love it!  Here's a new feature in the Galen Center - "Oblivious Cam."  It finds someone in the audience who is - shall we say - Absorbed in their little screen, and runs a clock (this guy is at 17.8 seconds at this moment - he went to about 23 ...) before the person realizes that they're actually on the big screen above the arena.  Of course this works best at a morning women's volleyball tournament match against a non-ranked team (in this case Chicago State) when there are plenty of gaps in the seating.  It wouldn't have been so effective tonight against BYU - a stunning 3 set victory.  From which ... you'll gather that the WVB season is under way, and this intensifies the pain of leaving LA (temporarily), since USC has been playing so well this last couple of days - a team revivified ...

But of course - this does, also, function as a pretty searing commentary about those who prefer their life second-hand ...
