First Post! (Score:-1, Offtopic)

So this RSS blog thingy is going live on Friday and they say I need to have a first post in it when things start rolling. I guess not having an initial post would be like, well, hmm, I don’t know exactly but I’m told it would be bad.

That being said, I’ll start things off with a list of all the neato things I learned at Apple’s WWDC this year.

1. *Item removed per non-disclosure agreement*
2. *Item removed per non-disclosure agreement*
3. *Item removed per non-disclosure agreement*
4. *Item removed per non-disclosure agreement*
5. *Item removed per non-disclosure agreement*
6. In Russian, the same word is used for “foot” and “leg” while in English there are two distinct words.

Since I can’t talk about items one through five we’ll skip directly to numbers six. Yan and I walked all over downtown San Francisco one afternoon shopping around for high priced tourist junk to bring back home. When we finally sat down he said something to the effect that his legs were killing him. Having just recruited him not too long ago for my indoor soccer team I was a little concerned that a leisurely stroll had caused such a condition, namely I was concerned what condition he’d be in when we have our first doubleheader.

I replied that my legs felt fine, but that my feet were tired. He then corrected himself explaining that he really meant feet but that in Russian (his first language) that “feet” and “legs” share the same word and that he still applies that line thinking sometimes when speaking in English.

I of course then asked how one could tell the difference, say if you were trying to tell the doctor that your foot hurt. He claims that in context it all makes sense. I decided not to press the issue but I still wonder if that means:

soccer == futbol == football == legball

Something to ponder I suppose.
