Wimbledon got started today and DirecTV has court cameras now to watch all the matches! I have been quite on the tennis kick lately and really started playing again with some PM Lifestyle employee’s and other various friends. It looks like a great line up is in store, especially on the woman’s side.

I will be cheering on Maria Sharapova in the series. Ever since her shoulder injury she hasn’t been 100% but I have some high hopes for her over this tournament. She made it into the third round earlier this year at the French Open so hopefully she can do better. She is playing lucky loser Anastasia Pivovarova in the first round who is a fellow Russian. Maria enters Wimbledon as the 16th seed for women.

On the men’s side I have to be rooting for Roger Federer who I think has about 8/5 odds on winning. He is ranked number one in the world right now for men. I really want to root on someone who has more of a challenge making it to the finals but I cannot really bring myself to get behind and support anybody else on the guys side.

Who needs free speech in the Internet? A few months ago I mentioned that the second district court is holding people accountable for what you say in comments of posts. Now Senator Joe Lieberman is trying to pass the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PCNAA). Instead of writing all about it I pulled in some information from Switched. It’s quite a shame and hopefully we stand up for our protection from government censorship.

Connecticut Senator, and chairman of the Homeland Security committee, Joseph Lieberman introduced legislation last week that would grant broad new emergency powers over the Internet to the federal government. The Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PCNAA) would require broadband providers, search engines, and software companies to comply with emergency orders issued by the Department of Homeland Security under penalty of fine.
