- I love this new picture NASA released of Saturn yesterday. The image was captured back in July and was taken from about a million miles away, literally. For scale, each pixel is 68 miles. The top of the planet is quite unique, it’s a hexagon. Actually, it’s a hexagonal jet stream, and it changes colors.
- I finally watched the National Geographic special with David Letterman. He goes to India and learns how they user power. He’s only in about a half or third of the show. I will tell you, if you lean conservative in your political beliefs, you won’t enjoy this episode.
- It starts off with Dave blow drying his beard. But a lot the show has a serious tone, with an occasional bit of Dave’s humor thrown in.
- A lot of this is obviously scripted, but it’s not like a reality show or anything. However, Dave seemed really at ease narrating and in any scene he’s put in as a fish out of water.
- Something I found interesting because it reminded me of the neighborhood where my family in Vietnam lives. The power infrastructure is so bad, that 30% of the electricity is lost in transmission.
- SNL’s Cicily Strong does a lot of the episode, but because she’s from SNL, I had a hard time taking her seriously thinking a joke was around the corner.
- Speaking of energy, my good friend Andy updated his blog with a six-month update on the solar panels he installed on his house.
- After ten days of antibiotics, I’m not feeling any better. I’m at the point now I with the doc would put me in the hospital for a few days.

Earlier this year, I had a flight from Austin to DFW. I spent more time in the security line at Bergstrom than I did in the air.
