ABOUT THE SITE

Q: Who is Invader Ujin?

A: Me. I'm a Southern California writer/hockey fan.

Q: Why are all the pictures so terrible?

A: Because I ain't a professional photographer. Heck, I'm not an amateur photographer. I took all of these pictures with a second-hand, one mega-pixel camera about the size of a watermelon that included such high-tech features as a cracked LCD screen. You're lucky that these pictures are even in color.

Q: Can I use these pictures to send to my worst enemy OR burn in effigy OR spotlight on my web site about poor photography techniques?

A: Go for it. No need for permission, credit, or blame.

ABOUT THE OLYMPICS

Q: How did you end up going?

A: I spent too much of my time at work reading web sites about Sports when I should've been working. Being the scatter brained evil-genius that I am, I found the Salt Lake City Olympic web site, e-mailed a few friends to see if they were interested, and the rest is history.

Q: Why did you pick games such as France and Latvia - and not games with the Czech Republic or Slovakia?

A: To apply for tickets, we put our names in the lottery that took place twelve months before the puck was dropped for the first game. So I had no idea what games we were going to get and I had no idea what the difference was between the two tournaments (Preliminary and Final) at the Olympics. In the future, I'll avoid tickets to those Preliminary Games.

Q: So did you have a good time?

A: Yes. I have plenty of complaints and silly things that happen on any trip that I love to complain about - but the entire Olympic hockey experience was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
