Bag of Randomness for Friday, December 2, 2022

  • For the last two, maybe three years, DaughterGeeding has presented her Christmas list via PowerPoint. She sends it us via e-mail. That’s a pretty effective way to keep divorced parents who don’t talk to each other in the loop.
  • FDR and Truman were only two years apart in age.
  • The last Democrat to nominate a Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was Truman. Fred Vinson was the nominee.
  • My favorite blogger is on top of ransomware news, especially when it hits small towns or jurisdictions. I recently read that money spent on ransomware to get things back to normal are tax deductible.
  • Dallas has the two best players under the age of 25 in both the NBA and NFL.
  • As much as I would like to watch Bono’s event at the National Cathedral via a virtual ticket, I don’t like how you are forced to buy a copy of his book. The thing is, they don’t provide a bookless option of viewing the event. I can guarantee you the majority of the people tuning in already have a copy of the book and just want to see the performance. Gosh, I loved my visit to the National Cathedral. It could be my favorite building I ever visited. Well, next to the Baker Hotel.
  • I’m not buying the Bono book because I expect it will be gifted to me. But in the past, when I expected something as a gift, even hinting strongly towards it, I never receive it.
  • I’m guessing residents aren’t happy about this, and it will be the tallest in Texas. I want Austin to be like DC, that the capitol building view is unobstructed. – A supertall skyscraper is coming to Austin, Texas
  • Pepsi wants you to drink soda mixed with milk this holiday season
    • “Combining Pepsi and milk has long been a secret hack among Pepsi fans,” said Todd Kaplan, Pepsi’s chief marketing officer, in a statement about the campaign.

  • This will be a must see for me. Language warning.
