Bag of Randomness

  • A friend and I were discussing what was the last U.S. aircraft carrier to be sunk or lost at sea, after some research, I think it was the USS Princeton (CVL-23).
  • If you are an Android user and use the Dolphin Browser HD, it’s latest update provides a Siri like voice control experience, not that it will talk to you, but you can do a web search by speaking to it.
  • Burning Pepto-Bismol with a blow torch will turn it into a metal.
  • Halfway through the 1994 football season, a TCU football player came out to his teammates and later tied the school record for sacks in a single game.  That’s a pretty brave thing to do today, much less in 1994.
  • I spoke to a federal agent recently and learned a few things.  Before a flight is boarded, those holding weapons gather just to get to know one another and discuss where they will be sitting.  I also learned that there is specific ammunition used for flights, it’s designed to penetrate human flesh, but not go through it or the fuselage.
  • I just discovered you can get steamed veggies as a side item at Jason’s Deli, that’s much better than chips.
  • Dallas is going to try to create their own SXSW, called the DXDW Festival.  It starts March 18.
  • The UK’s Avengers trailer gives you more details than the U.S. version I’ve been told.  It appears Cobie Smulders is sporting short hair in the movie.
  • Michael Jordan’s front gate
  • I finally stopped following Deion Sanders on Twitter, he just retweets too much.
  • I want to tap the brakes on an ultrabook because Windows 8 will be available on laptops that have a touchscreen, and some laptops will just fold over and turn into a tablet.  Here’s a pretty good review of the beta version of Windows 8.
  • One of the “Texas Seven” was put to death yesterday for the murder of Irving Police Officer Aubrey Hawkins.  A local media member witness the execution and kept a running blog, this part stood out to me for some reason:  4:42p The widow of Irving police Officer Aubrey Hawkins, who was killed by George Rivas, will not attend the execution. She told News 8 that she felt no closure after being present at the last execution of a Texas 7 gang member in 2009.
