- I just learned that Equifax, and I’m sure others, offers a service to employers to verify past employment history and income. So be careful padding that resume and income history.
- In the next 50 years, I bet asteroid mining will be popular and a very lucrative investment.
- Because John Oliver has the same writers as Stewart, the jokes are about the same, but Stewart definitely has a better delivery.

- I’m a fan of Jerry Seinfeld’s series of taking well known comedians and actors on car rides and a cup of coffee. His latest is with David Letterman. The car they ride in actually is quite unique.

At one point they just walk into a True Value and meet a few strangers. I wonder what that must have been like to just go to the store and run into Letterman and Seinfeld.
