I just signed up for another three years of website hosting, so you’ll probably have me around for at least that long.
BoyGeeding’s protective cup arrived in the mail yesterday. I opened the package and just left it on the counter and ran some errands. When I got back DaughterGeeding was breathing into it and playing with her brother, she innocently thought it was a breathing mask.
The Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team has only had eight head coaches. All of them have had a winning record except for one. That one coach was their first coach, Dr. James Naismith, the man who literally invented the game.
McLaren, the manufacturer of some of the world’s fastest and most expensive sports cars, will relocate its North American headquarters from a Manhattan skyscraper to a high-tech industrial park in Coppell, where the British company plans to accelerate into its next phase of growth in the U.S. market.
The first thing Google stresses is that while this feature resembles stories that you’ll see on social media sites, these images are your personal media, presented privately.
As of today, you’ll be able to order 4″ x 6″ prints and pick them up the same day at Walmart and CVS locations around the US. Prints start at 25 cents apiece, and it’s not clear yet if there’s a discount depending on how much you order.
The move could be a boon for local news outlets (and others) who invest time, effort and resources to report stories before national publications or networks catch wind of them. Often when a larger organization follows up with their own report, that version can scoop up as much or even more traffic than the original story.
T. Boone Pickens died yesterday. Ross Perot died a few months ago. I wonder how many other Dallas billionaires will die this year.
Yesterday I kept seeing the misleading fact that T. Boone Pickens was the first baby born in Oklahoma via Caesarean section. In actuality, he was the first in the history of the Holdenville hospital.
I haven’t seen Donald Rumsfeld in a while but he attended a 9/11 memorial event yesterday. He’s 87 and is supposed to age, he’s human, but I was still surprised at how much he’s aged since I’ve last seen him.
Yesterday, my kindergarten-teaching wife spoke to her class about September 11, 2001. One student asked, “What color was the hijacker?”
How the heck is this kid okay? That backpack had to absorb most of the energy and he was probably able to get up so quickly because of a shot of adrenaline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62iPFic5yZo
My high school pep-rally assemblies were never this cool or epic.
The 1984 film Splash was on television last night. WifeGeeding claims not only has she never seen it, but she’s never heard about it. Sometimes, I think she’s had the most unfortunate pop-culture youth experience of anyone born in the late Seventies.
The man was conscious, alert, talking with deputies and in good spirits before he was taken by Seguin EMS to San Antonio Military Medical Center, the sergeant said.
This is perfect for the student who is trying to gauge the minimal amount he or she needs to write, no more stopping and having to manually select the feature – Google Docs now displays the word count as you type
I was introduced to someone yesterday whose first name is “Heinz”. In case you are wondering, he’s not German or European, he’s Asian.
The teenager didn’t pick out the swimsuit — her school chose it and issued it to her. But even though all the girls on her team were dressed identically, she was the only one cited for a uniform violation.
It wasn’t the first time the girl had been made to feel that her curvy figure was problematic: Last year, a parent took a photo of her backside and shared it with other parents to demonstrate that girls on the team were wearing inappropriate swimwear. (District officials said Monday that Dimond High School’s assistant principal “indicated to the parent who took the photographs that it was not permissible for him to take pictures of others’ children and that he should stop immediately.”)
The New Yorker – The Perils of Semi-Legal Poker – By exploiting a legal loophole, two friends tried to build gambling businesses in Texas. They were dealt very different hands.
