  • We’ll finally hit 50 degree weather tomorrow.
  • I’ll neither confirm or deny that I downloaded a John Denver greatest hits album and have been listening to it quite often.
  • His real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr.
  • The other night I had a dream in which I was killing zombies, which was both kinda fun and kinda scary.  When I woke up after the dream it was in the middle of the night and I was kind of in a daze.  I immediately turned on the lamp on my night stand, and then WifeGeeding, who I thought was sleeping next to me, opens and walks through bedroom door into the room scaring the living crap out of me.
  • I have a feeling we’ll be hearing the term “trickle down government” quite a bit until election day.  And if Romney wins, he’ll hear it decades to come.
  • In the Jim Lehrer book I’m reading, he states he has a tradition of buying a new tie with his wife and daughters the morning of the presidential debate that he’s about to moderate.  The tie for Bush-Kerry set him back $145.
  • “30 Rock’s” fake game show Homonym was pure comedic genius last night.
  • My expectations for the Rangers today are pretty low.
  • After watching an extended trailer for Lincoln I’m convinced the movie will win Best Picture, and that Daniel Day Lewis and Steven Spielberg can add another Oscar to their mantle.
  • Nicole Kidman as Princess Grace Kelly – I always thought January Jones looked a lot like Grace Kelly.
  • Russian boy discovers almost complete woolly mammoth carcass
  • Imagine a search engine that simply removed the top 1 million most popular web sites from its index. What would you discover?

Woman passes school bus by driving on sidewalk

I’m not sure what’s the crazier part of this video, the woman driving on the sidewalk, or interviewing a woman through a second story window.

Bag of Randomness

  • This close presidential election just got a lot closer.  I thought Romney did so well last night that I considered changing my vote.  Heck, he did so well, even the Obama campaign admitted Romney looked good.
  • Obama’s performance reminded me of this kind of play.
  • Both candidates got too detailed with numbers last night.  I know this debate focused on the economy, but it’s hard for voters to relate and not feel being talked down to when you hear nothing but numbers, numbers, numbers.
  • I thought Romney looked extremely pale when he came on stage and the debate started, but as things got going, his color came back.
  • In Obama’s closing arguments, he failed to look at the camera and instead focused on the moderator.  He also looked down way too much as he took notes.
  • Romney had a spot on his American flag lapel pin.  A Washington Post reporter states is a Secret Service star logo, which was a gift from his Secret Service agents.
  • I actually thought it was nice to see both candidates and families chit-chat for what I thought was a lengthy time after the debate.  Perhaps the Obamas wanted to get to know the family that will be moving into their house in January just to make the transition easier.
  • Maybe I should tap the brakes a little.  In 2004, President GW Bush didn’t perform too well against Kerry in their first debate, and like Obama, people noticed he scowled and looked annoyed too much.  (Source and Source)
  • Perhaps another similarity to 2004, the war on terror.  Incumbent President GW Bush captured Saddam Hussein, while Osama bin Laden was captured under President Obama’s watch.
  • Romney spoke a lot about being able to reach across the isle, compromise  and negotiate.   But I don’t think that’s what a lot of his party wants, I think they want no compromise.
  • A lot of folks were peeved at moderator Jim Lehrer last night for not controlling the debate, but then again he actually let the candidates engage each other.  The moderator is a lot like being a referee in sports, there will never be 100% agreement in how you handle things.
  • The Romney campaign is a fan of “Friday Night Lights”.
  • I couldn’t get Twitter to load using my computer last night, I could only access it using my phone.
  • Speaking of Twitter, KitchenAid had a tweet last night that poked fun at the president’s grandmother.
  • It would have been fun to see Gov Good Hair last night.
  • Fact-checking the presidential debate
  • A great Dallas skyline picture
  • The nerdiest way to play catch: Three quadrocopters cooperatively tossing and catching a ball with the aid of an elastic net
  • A random deep thought on bubbles
