Bag of Randomness

  • The Michael Jackson autopsy report is interesting, especially the “Body Examination” section on page three that describes his wig as well as other things.  Morbid stuff like this has always fascinated me, that’s one reason why I check out FindAGrave.com somewhat frequently.  I guess I like the reminder that no matter how on top any celebrity was at one time,  we are all mortal.
  • For the past several years I’ve tried very hard to speak and write in a way that is non-confrontational, but it doesn’t always come out that way.
  • I’m still fascinated by the commenter “The Dude,” not in a bad way or anything, I just think he would be a great person to have a conversation with.
  • I have been lucky to establish friendships with commenters on BoN, even if it’s just via email.
  • I’m still sick and will probably end up back at the doctor’s office by the end of the week.
  • Speaking of end of the week, I have a college instructor workshop I have to attend on Friday night.
  • I think I’ve been going through a lot of stress as of late.  Not only am I still not feeling well, but I’m having trouble sleeping at night.  Last night I only managed a little over two hours of sleep, and the night before that I got about four.  One of those nights I decided to call an old college friend to just vent for about an hour and a half, it’s a good thing he’s a night owl since I called him a little after midnight.
  • I have a new manager at work, and as a get to know you exercise, he sent us a questionnaire of about thirty questions ranging from family, favorites, fears, last book read, first and last concert attended, who would you want to sit next to on an airplane, as well as what three things would you take to a deserted island.  My answer for the island was me just trying to be quirky – a DeLorean, a back up flux capacitor, and a hover board.
  • For you space enthusiasts, here’s a tour of the International Space Station.
  • Last night was Jay Leno’s last prime time show.
  • I was a big fan of the NBC drama The West Wing, and if you were a fan, you can appreciate this picture.
  • Facebook Employee Proposes to Google Girlfriend
  • For the die hard fan of Die Hard
  • James Earl Jones counts to 10
  • Cute Star Wars Valentines Day Cards
  • Three legged bear walks upright?
  • Babies are not that innocent

sOccket

A sOccket is a soccer ball that you kick around which stores energy which can either charge a cell phone or produce light for areas not around a power grid.


The sOccket is designed for use in resource-poor settings where access to electrical grids is limited or nonexistent.  As such, being able to power a light-source for several hours or to charge a cellphone can make all the difference.
