  • Yesterday I learned there’s a difference difference between upgrade eligibility and end of contract date when it comes to mobile phones.  Regarding my contract with Sprint, I thought it would end at the end of the month, but that’s just when I’m eligible for an upgrade, my contract doesn’t actually end until the end of September.  So the cheapest and quickest way for me to switch carriers would be to take advantage of T-Mobile’s early termination deal, but I’m not sold on their coverage, especially when it comes to East Texas. #FirstWorldProblems
  • NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg did a Reddit Ask Me Anything yesterday and someone asked her what was the most quirky fact that people would be surprised to know about the Supreme Court.   She said Justice Ginsburg often works until 3 or 4 in the morning and then will come back to court in the afternoon.
  • The Bill Cosby rape allegations story is a bit weird.  It seemed everyone loved the guy and then a month ago comedian Hannibal Buress criticized him about the eight year old allegations.  Last week Cosby and his team tried to get his fans to create memes on Twitter about himself, but that backfired when a lot of the memes brought up the allegations, and now the main focus is on Cosby and his past.  I’m not saying Cosby should be defended or is in the right, but it seems weird how none of this was brought up and now it’s front and centered, as if it was coordinated.
  • WifeGeeding and I are catching up on ‘The Knick’ which lightly follows the case of Typhoid Mary, which caused me to look up her Wikipedia page.  I had no idea she spent almost three decades in isolation.
  • I thought Jimmy Fallon had a funny line on Bono’s bicycle crash saying it was a result of them riding a tandem bike.
  • My first thought was this was going to be something to like ‘Firefly’, and the cast seems almost too good to be true with the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris –  HBO’s sci-fi western ‘Westworld’ is coming next year with an insanely good cast
  • The Sad Fates of the World’s Six Tallest Unfinished Buildings
  • TechDirt.com – Ted Cruz Doubles Down On Misunderstanding The Internet & Net Neutrality, As Republican Engineers Call Him Out For Ignorance
  • Graphic Pictures Warning – Vice.com –  Learning to Read Corpses at the Texas State Body Farm – The article states they don’t use bodies that have been through chemotherapy because is affects the insects and they don’t want the birds to get sick.
  • There’s a chance Aggies and Longhorns would play each other in the Texas Bowl.

    Dude, don't get t-mobile. I had them for 13 years, and when they were bought out their service tanked, their bills were unreadable and seemed to over-charge on a regular basis, and their coverage wasn't good. I hate changing things, but I finally got so mad I changed to AT&T, who I also hate, but they're a dream compared to t-mobile.

    Oh man, Westworld will be awesome! You really need to see the original with Yul Brynner and Richard Benjamin. It was pretty dang good for it's day. It's hard to screw up Michael Crichton.

    Longhorns are itching to take on Aggy. That game would be it's own National Championship #WRTS. Please make it happen!

    Ted Cruz. The man is an embarrassment. That's all I have to say about that.

    I really like Bill Cosby, but if the allegations are true he needs to suffer the consequences of his actions.
