Second Half

Here's another image from fotoglif, the photo service site. They saw yesterday's post and suggested that the ads look different if I have a registered account. So, today I registered and now proudly present you with this rather muscular photo of Gael Monfils. Let's see how it looks.

Now that I've posted and seen it, I definitely prefer this form of ad (embedded within the image, and close-able to boot). It's far better than the non-removable google ads below the image. I'll have to give this some more thought and see if they have sufficiently "current" images for what I'm trying to achieve on the new site.

Fotoglif is (like picapp ) a photo site that lets you embed their photos on your site. They claim to have a large number of sources of images. Let's see how this one of Juan Martin del Potro looks. He had a 5 set match today at the Autralian Open tennis tournament, beating American James Blake.

Update: Regrettably, fotoglif ladens the photo with ads just below it...fine for a blog, but not fine for a news site.

Sandra and I are incredibly excited as we make our final preparations for the upcoming winter Olympics in Vancouver. We hope to see you there.

Roger Frederer did indeed drop some sweat, getting lucky in the 3rd set, but then closing it out convincingly in the 4th. I'm glad to see him through.

Roger Federer is ready to start his 1st round match at the 2010 Australian Open tennis tournament. The image below is from his practice session earlier in the day.

Federer's opponent, Russian Igor Andreev, is the girlfriend of Maria Kirilenko, who just yesterday took out Maria Sharapova in the first round. According to reports, she told her boyfriend that it's now his turn to "make some noise" at the tournament by taking out Federer. We'll see about that. Andreev is a solid player that took Federer to 5 sets at the US Open in 2008. Federer prevailed in that match.
