  • I’m starting to not follow breaking news and just play catch up later.  For instance it sounded like the Texas Lottery was officially put to pasture, and then it’s back again.  I didn’t follow the story close at all yesterday, but there seemed to be a lot of knee jerk reactions.
  • I’ve never been much a fan of the brat.
  • I’m also not a fan of breakfast sausage.
  • I consider a pancake dessert.
  • Netflix has more subscribers than HBO.
  • This might be fun for you developers – Javascript cloth simulation
  • This man has eaten at 6,297 Chinese restaurants and documented them all on an Excel spreadsheet.
  • As much as a non-Baylor fan as I am, I don’t think the press has been properly covering how the university has been helping with the West tragedy.  I’m also a bit curious how President Obama will be welcomed on campus.  This will mean the past two administrations have visited the campus, which has to be a pretty big straw in their cap.
  • Wanna go inhabit Mars?  Here’s the application – Mars 2023: Inhabitants WantedMars One will establish a permanent human settlement on Mars.
  • I was watching the Bio channel last night on Jeff Dunham.  I’ve never seen any of his performances but I’m certainly aware of him.  What I didn’t know was that he’s a Dallas native and the show aired an interview of him being interviewed by then WFAA reporter Bill O’Reilly.

  • College Athlete Ends Career To Donate Bone Marrow To Man With Leukemia
  • WFAA’s front page had yet another JFK assassination related article yesterday.  I get it’s going to be the 50th anniversary of the event, but that’s in November.  Seriously. can they just leave the presidential assassination stuff alone for at least this week?
  • My grandmother died 26-years ago yesterday.
  • Sure, I’m going to complain about the heat in July and August, but will this cold weather please go away.

  • I’ve seen people put mustard on hot dogs.  I’ve seen people put ketchup on hot dogs.  It wasn’t until yesterday that I saw someone put mayonnaise on a hot dog, and that person was my wife.  How do I go being married to her for almost a decade and not know about this travesty?
  • There’s a bit of irony with the love affair Boston has for Neil Diamond who was actually born in Brooklyn.  I also recently discovered that Michael Jordan was also born in Brooklyn.
  • I’m not sure what I find more interesting, that Neil Diamond is not a stage name but his real name, or that he attended NYU on a fencing scholarship.
  • Sometime last year I was at a birthday party and the hosting couple was complaining about how Obama was giving handouts, how they would never accept, and stated that any Obama supporters should just leave.  I just kept quiet as to not make a scene, after all, the attention of the party should be on the birthday person and not politics.  Last week that couple sent me a letter asking for funds to support them on a mission trip.  I’m not sure what’s so different about what they are doing and asking for a handout.
  • I miss Google Reader, but I think I’m now use to Feedly.
  • WifeGeeding volunteered to decorate the church nursery, but it appears she’s making GirlGeeding do all the work.  And here’s GirlGeeding hamming it up.
  • GirlGeeding does spend a lot of time on the iPad – Toddlers becoming so addicted to iPads they require therapy
  • I caught the first hour of “Rectify” and thought the first 15 minute was exceptional television, definately a great way to start a series.  I enjoyed the other 45-minutes as well and would have watched the other hour if the kids didn’t turn us into zombies by the end of the day.
  • I noticed that the “Late Show with David Letterman” has a brand new intro and is using some peculiar but cool angles when they cut to inside the studio.
  • The Internet is trying to raise funds to fix the boat that was part of the suspected Boston bombers standoff.  – ABC News Article
  • On WFAA’s front page last night was an article related to the JFK assassination.  You’d think with five president’s visiting this week they would hold off on that sort of thing for a week.  And can you image the dark cloud this city would be under if something tragic happens during the George W. Bush Library and Museum opening on Thursday?
