Bag of Randomness

December 12th, 2008

• My favorite vegetarian sent me this article about bacon which I thoroughly enjoyed.
• WifeGeeding and I pulled out Christmas letters we have sent out in the past and I noticed each year I’ve mentioned the number of unique daily visitors to my website.  The first year I mentioned 300, the next 700, then 1200, and now it’s around 2000.
• This is the first year of this website that I haven’t done the Christmas Card experiment.  Usually I post my address and see who will send me a card, and for each card I make a donation to help fight lupus.  I would always be amazed at the cards I would get, around 30 total coming from all across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
• For those of you that didn’t get the “brain cloud” reference [people not named Brett], well, it was the first Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie Joe vs The Volcano.
• I use to really love listening to love song, Chicago in particular, but know I realize just how silly and sappy they really are.
• WifeGeeding bobs her head to the beat of fast tempo songs when we are in the car.  I’m not sure if she realizes how much she does this, but it cracks me up.
• As I kid, I liked the taste of Aim toothpaste so much I use to eat a little bit of it in the morning.
• I expected more out of Google with Chrome and their new phone.
• Candied Bacon Ice Cream.  Link
• Ross Perot for Car Czar?  I think that’s a good idea.  Link
• Silent Night in a whole bunch of different languages.  Link
• Jennifer Aniston sure has been showing a lot of skin lately.  Have you seen the cover of GQ?  Wow.  But I wonder how much that photo was touched up.
• The airline business is really fascinating.
• I read an article about how the government does wiretap.  Two things stuck out, they often get help from the phone companies and bug devices are so small that they can now fit under a fingertip.
• I think WifeGeeding should get me an elliptical for Christmas to make up for punching me in the face.
• If there’s a church out there that wants to have a pool table, I would highly consider giving mine away, all you have to do is come over and pick it up.
• I have never been a fan of Ford vehicles, but for some reason if I were forced to buy a new car right now that would fit the budget I would highly consider purchasing the Ford Focus.  It has a bit of a European design, gets great gas mileage, the price is right, and has that Microsoft Sych which seems pretty darn cool.
• But if we were to get a new vehicle, I think WifeGeeding wants our next one to be a minivan for some reason.
• 1 toilet for every 6,849 people on Inauguration Day.  That article made me think of a post I made about the StadiumPal.  They should consider setting up a booth.
• Puppy love.  Link
• 30 days hath September April, June, and November. All the rest have 31.  That’s one way to remember the days in a month, but I prefer using the knuckle trick an old accounting teacher taught me.
• A cool high resolution picture of the Manhattan Bridge under construction.  Link
