Bag of Randomness

  • I visited the Dallas Morning News website and the lead story was on the Baker Hotel in my hometown of Mineral Wells.  The mystery and nostalgia of that building has always captivated me, and I even have a picture of it hanging in my house.
  • I bought a Google Chromecast yesterday and so far I really like it.  I had a little trouble with setup as I couldn’t get my Chromebook to recognize the device, but I was able to complete the setup using my phone.  At first I was pretty concerned as video seemed to lag on the television, but after shutting down the computer and playing with it after an hour with numerous other videos the lagging was resolved.  One cool feature I like is that I can play video using one of my tabs on my Chrome browser casting it on the television and then being able to open another tab and surf without it affecting what’s on the television.  Also, the quality of the video was much higher than I expected.
  • There’s a lot of talk about Miley Cyrus’ song “Wrecking Ball” but I’ve never heard it and don’t have any plans on listening to it.
  • I heard a comedian say that all the Redskins need to do to keep their name is to change their mascot to the red potato.
  • Why don’t the Chargers wear the light blue unis all the time?
  • New York Football Giants fans are stating Eli is having such a tough time this year because of offensive line problems.  Welcome to Tony Romo’s world, and imagine what he could do if he had a decent line.  Dang it, now that’s starting t sound like an Emmitt and Barry argument.
  • I had no idea how big Detroit is.  A ’60 Minutes’ segment said it was larger than San Fransico, Boston, and Manhatten combined.
  • Netflix in talks for cable partnership
  • Some humor for people in my industry, you get a different answer everytime you refresh: DeveloperExcuses.com
  • Smart sock brings allows parents to monitor baby’s heartrate, body temperature and breathing patterns
  • 21 Reasons JFK Was Actually A Conservative
  • She was so pretty before plastic surgery – Meg Ryan Is Getting a TV Show

    I met the Von Erich's at a Lake Dallas/Bridgeport game. Was hanging out with Michael and didn't know who he was until Fritz walked up. Friz was so cool, he had a phone in his car!

    I've been debating getting a Chromecast, just to make it easier to watch Netflix. I'll be interested to see how you feel about it in a week or so, once you've had time to get used to it.

    Detroit much smaller than either Dallas or Fort Worth. Much, much smaller than Houston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_State
