This father of a daughter makes us other father of daughters look bad. If you scroll after clicking that link you’ll see a step-by-step on how he did it.
Random idea for a book/movie/series that plays off The Man in High Castle – During the time period in which the East Coast of North America is being colonized, the West Coast is being colonized by China. Over time, explorers from both sides encounter each other and battle it out. You can even throw in a forbidden romance between the West and East as well as encounters with Native Americans.

Thanks to Google image search, I've discovered what's in today's picture. Is there a significance to posting it, or did it just strike your fancy?
Personally, I'd drop ESPN. But my son is so sports-crazy, that I don't think I could get away with that. I can't blame him – like you, I watched a ton of ESPN in my 20s. I can only imagine how much I would have watched at his age.
On a somewhat related note, the rise of people cutting cable is creating a looming problem for Disney as a company. Since it owns ESPN, it's trying desperately to figure out what to do in order to retain viewers, as ESPN is a huge profit source for the company. Cable networks make up about 45% of Disney's total revenue, and ESPN represents 75% of that segment. It will be interesting to see what they do.
– I've got a couple of cue cats somewhere deep in my closet along with all the other obsolete tech stuff that I refuse to throw away.
– Why does KERA use median for income and average for credit card balance and credit score? And is the national average the average or the average of the medians?
Ah, cuecat. Those were the days. I kept a few for years thinking that there would be some use/hack for a barcode reader, then technology overtook us and everyone carries a nice wireless barcode reader in their pockets.
The only person that made out in that deal was Philyaw, now calling himself J Hutton Pulitzer, who still seems absolutely crazy.
"It delivers." I see what you did there…

No significance. Someone on Twitter referenced and I thought it would be fun to use.
