As I have read stories and articles from around the world that don’t seem t have any significance I have to admit that this thought has always been in the back of my mind since 2001. Especially when you start to look at the pipelines from the Caspian and where our leadership came from. There’s so much information out there that links together but without proper context is seemingly unconnected. It is tricky to put together but this article does a very nice job.

I was at CES all day today and saw quite a few things on my 6+ hour hike of the show floors. One of the weirdest things I came upon was the Blue Ray and HD-DVD pavilions. They happened to be right next to each other. I can only guess that with the WB announcement and rumors of Paramount and Universal going to Blue it kind of killed the buz at the HD-DVD pavilion. Blue Ray was swamped and HD-DVD was…. well, not. There were people there but all the reps I saw in the booth were pacing back and forth and had a “dead man walking” expression on their face. I can only assume they’re thinking of getting their resumes together.
