Bag of Randomness

  • I’m off to Chicago this morning.  Hopefully I’ll run into Abe Froman at a local eating establishment.
  • The CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley had an interesting segment on presidential vacations.  After 31 months in office, Obama has taken 61 vacation days.  In that same point in their presidencies, George W. Bush took 180, and Reagan tallied 112 vacation days.  Of the modern presidents, Clinton took the least, with just 28 days of vacation.  Oddly enough, they didn’t report George H.W. Bush vacation days.
  • A very awkward moment at the canine fantasy football draft.
  • BibleScholarGeorge is thinking about switching from the iPhone to an Android phone, so I thought he’d be interested in this infograph comparing the users of both operating systems.
  • Glass Beach is a beach in MacK­er­richer California State Park that is abun­dant in sea glass cre­ated from years of dump­ing garbage into an area of coast­line near.  But now, it’s safe and beautiful.
  • Gandhi’s letter to Hitler
  • Here’s the top 25 high school football teams in the U.S. – 3 are in the DFW area.
  • A photo of your pet made with their ashes – when they are dead, of course.
  • If you are looking for something to waste some time on, figure out this message I found last week at the Museum of Modern Art.

This video shows how he put it all together and her reaction to the surprise.

Meteor Shower Sounds Captured by Space Radar

I think we need to get Jerry Bruckheimer to help out on this one.

The U.S. Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas recorded echoes of the Perseid Meteors as they passed over the monitoring facility. Includes imagery of a meteor photographed by astronaut Ron Garan aboard the International Space Station.
