Geoff Huegill on Ian Thorpe’s comeback
I’ve been in a minibus with this guy and Eamon Sullivan as late as in Stockholm in October, it was even more mini with them in it :-)
Also in these news, Eamon Sullivan is surprised that he maybe gets to race Ian Thorpe already now … and calls butterfly a ‘weird event’ :-)
“I had not even thought about it,” Sullivan said, with a laugh. “I did not even know he was doing it (freestyle). I thought he was just doing IMs and all weird events.”

EyeSwim, a personal video system for people who swim
Interesting concept, and thankfully both cheap and simple, see www.eyeswim.com. Now, personally I’ve always wanted a simple instant and automatic video replay system with slow-motion like what we sometimes see on fun rides. For start practices and stuff, preferably in a plug-in-and-go package, please go invent that ! :-)
