Random thoughts

Jeremy Levy back with you. Lately I have been posting a lot about Colorado radio. This week I am going to post something different. This week I am going to be sharing my thoughts about the Rockies season and a little about the Bronco’s season thus far. The third thing I am going to share is about a new piece of technology that I have discovered which is the Echo Dot. Finally, I will talk about one of the podcasts podcast I listen to.I thought it was wonderful that the Rockies went to the post season this year. I really liked how they put together the team. My 2 favorite pitchers this year were Jon Gray and Chad Bettis. Chad Bettis’s story is a very inspiring. Chad was diagnosed with testicular cancer in Spring Training. He wasn’t back until the end of July after surgery and chemo. Jack Corrigan did a very moving interview with him when he came back, and it was wonderful that he could return to playing the game he loved so much. I think the Rockies have started to do impressive things and I think they have some excellent building blocks to do some great things in future years. Next year I hope that they can play Tom Murphy more at catcher. I am also hoping that they can keep Johnathan Lucroy as a catcher as well. I don’t know what they are going to do with Carlos Gonzales yet. He was an excellent player when he first came to the Rockies. His performance this year was not very good. I think that the Rockies could trade him to another team.The Bronco’s season has had some good things and some disappointments. The Broncos are 3 and 3 on the season so far. I don’t think that Trevor Siemian is the right quarter back for this season or for this team. When I went to Bronco’s training camp Trevor Siemian looked very good. He is really struggling this season. I think they should try Brock Osweiler at quarter back. I really think that the offensive line needs to improve. It might be that the Bronco’s might be looking for a quarter back in the next football draft. I am not sure yet how the Bronco’s will do this season. My dad has told me that Trevor Siemian doesn’t look all that comfortable when he is trying to throw the ball. I do like the running backs that the Broncos have in Jamaal Charles and CJ Anderson. I am hoping that the Broncos will have a good game against the Chiefs tonight.Dave Logan, Rick Lewis, and Tyler Polumbus have been doing a great job calling the games this year. Rick Lewis has said that he is really enjoying calling the games with Dave Logan. In my opinion that was a superb decision for KOA radio. I am really enjoying this new radio team. Some people have told me that they have trouble recognizing who is talking between Dave and Rick. I do agree that their voices sound very similar, but I can tell them apart since I have been listening for so long.The next thing that I would like to talk about is the Amazon Echo Dot. I got this technology about 4 or 5 months ago and I really enjoy playing around with it. I enjoy listening to music on it. My friend Lucas and I enjoyed asking it to play different country artists songs. I also like to play Jeopardy with it. The dot asks me questions and I have to answer in the form of a question. It is a fun thing to do when my family and I are cleaning up from dinner. Alexa can tell you the weather and answer many other questions as well. I am glad that I was introduced to this piece of technology and learning the different things Alexa can do.The last thing I would like to talk about is a podcast that Mr. Buck (one of my professors when I went to Pikes Peak Community College) introduced me to called the Blind Geek Zone. This podcast is done by a blind gentleman named Rick Harman. The website is maintained by him and he does some of the podcasts as well. The other people that do podcasts on this website are also blind. There are a lot of great podcasts on there about different technology, and about different blind people. I would really encourage you to listen to these podcasts to get a better sense of the kinds of technology that are out there and all the different activities that blind people are involved in. Over the next couple of months I am considering putting some podcasts up on the website.Thank you for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
