Google search will soon show live TV listings – So when you are looking for a movie or show, Google will tell you when it will be available on cable — that’s in addition to the various online rental and streaming services it already lists. Users will be able to click a small “Edit provider” link to let Google know how they get their cable (or, presumably, their over-the-air TV), to improve the results.
I received an odd fundraising letter from Hardin-Simmons this week, but perhaps it may be a more common practice used by other universities than I realize. It was from a person that only attended the university for one or two years and never graduated from the institution. She stated she transferred to an Ivy League school (can’t blame her) and then earn her MBA from one of our state universities and now feels compelled to “give back” to HSU. To me, it’s a bit odd to highlight someone who transferred from the school and use her as an example to give money to the school. Maybe the answer is simple, money talks.
Somewhat HSU related since it’s owned by an alumnus and former student – One of my favorite burger joints, Haystack Burgers & Barley, is opening a second location, though it’s not any closer to my neck of the woods.
Why Are Bibles Printed With The Text in Two Columns Instead of One? – In part, this is simply tradition, as mentioned first being borrowed from the scrolls which the Biblical text was copied from. But there’s a little more to this formatting choice than just tradition. – You can add that reference guide books use two columns because it’s more practical for research and study and it also saves a few pages.
Brewery reproduces beer dating back to time of Jesus – It says the concoction may help explain why wine was the preferred sacred drink of the Bible. There’s a hint of honey and berries in the cloudy – and flat – nectar, which has a three percent alcohol content.

I sacrificed the roof of my mouth to Cap’n Crunch Peanut Butter Crunch cereal two days ago and I’m still recovering. By far, it’s my favorite cereal, always has been, despite any repercussions.
I had a disagreement with a coworker who’s not a manager but in a project leadership position. She ended the phone call with, “I hope you appreciate the lecture I just gave you.” Since I’ve only known her for a little over a month, I couldn’t decide if:
A. She was serious with her intended and specific phrasing.
B. She didn’t intend for it to be condescending since English isn’t her first language and meant something nicer. From past communications, I’m still not sure of how well her grasp is of the English language. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s questionable.
C. Was trying to be funny.
D. Something else I’m missing entirely.
I enjoyed the second season of ‘Better Call Saul’. The season finale didn’t quite deliver for me, but I appreciate the entire scope of the show and season, not just one episode.
You may have noticed I’ve been using a thesaurus as of late. It’s not an attempt to make me appear smarter than I am. I’m just trying to have a bit of fun by throwing in some unwonted words.
