Pizarro: Nvision a gamer's paradise
Nvidia's cooking up some pretty cool stuff beyond its high-end GeForce graphics chips. Sam Seboe column: We are friendly here in the land of cheese, brats and beer
	Isn't it funny how quickly we get into a mode of daily life and forget to really take a look around? We do the same old thing every day and maybe even see the same people day in and day out. 	We get our morning coffee at the same place, say hi to the same cashier, and go about our business with the same methodical actions and very few surprises along the way. We spend our day passing pleasantries on and smiling at random people to say hello. It seems to be our way of life in the Midwest and we are used to it. 	I realized that other people are not. I have talked to many visitors to the area that often comment on how slow everything seems to move around here, how talkative we are, and that we are usually always smiling and saying hello to someone or another. 	I face this a lot when I walk past a local resort with quite a few city folks meandering around the grounds. It is real easy to pick out the locals in the bunch from the visitors just by the simple pace and eye contact one is willing to make with a complete stranger. 	I am not ranking on the metropolitan way of life. It is just different than what I am accustomed to and would be a fish out of water in any city with more than 100,000 people. 	And I will admit that I am quite proud of the fact that so many of us have this similar demeanor. We are friendly. We are welcoming. We are helpful. We are Wisconsinites. 	Yet, even Wisconsinites need to leave the shores of Lake Michigan once in awhile and venture out into the great beyond of the country. 	I set my sights on a recent road trip to South Dakota. It was time for this fish to experience a new fishbowl for a change of scenery. 	More than a little trepidation was felt about the trip. It seems that this fish has been pretty satisfied with her fishbowl and hasn't left her scenery in too long to even mention. 	I was a little concerned about the people I would encounter along the way, a lot concerned about the drive and even nervous about my landing point. I am used to the certain things a certain way and seeing the same people every day for that matter to. Now I was going out to experience an entirely different way of living than I have ever had before. I think we hadn't even left the county before I started to feel more than a little homesick. 	Then something remarkable started to happen. I actually took the time to look around. The drive, despite a few bouts of travel sickness, was fine and my landing point and the people there, were so very welcoming and amazing that I couldn't have had a better experience. 	But, I wasn't quite so sure about the people and day of life yet until I lived it for a day. Guess what? We aren't alone and there are places in the country that move at an even slower pace than we are used to but in all honesty, it was very simple for me to adapt. 	For every stop that was made, for every place that we visited, I never felt like a fish out of water. I felt that I was among my own. 	People in Wisconsin are in general very friendly but after a brief trip to another part of the country, I know that we aren't alone. I was greeted with eye contact, smiles and friendly conversation in the middle of the country too. 	It was a good lesson to learn for a Wisconsin snob such as myself. I liked to think that the Midwest was a unique place to live and although I would never take anything away from this place, I found out that the scary unknown of the country really isn't too scary. People will take care of people. 	I experienced it in the daily life, in a time of turmoil on a hiking trail gone awry from a friendly family willing to slide over in their minivan to make room, and on the stone steps of Mount Rushmore on the Fourth of July standing and singing the National Anthem among people from all over the world. I felt safe. I felt welcomed and I felt like I was right where I belonged with my 'fish.' 	America is unique in the fact that I think you can pretty much fit right in no matter where you go. It took a 900-mile trip away from home for me to realize that home isn't where you live in this country but the people you are surrounded by.
