So much to take in, but in particular, this made me smile.

The world’s youngest self-made female billionaire
31-year-old Elizabeth Holmes [Wikipedia]
She made her wealth basically because she had a fear of needles and found a way to perform blood test with just a simple prick of the finger, which if you ask me, hurts more than drawing blood.
Like Steve Jobs, she basically only wears black turtlenecks. Like Bill Gates, she dropped out of a prestigious college (for him, Harvard, for her, Stanford) to start a business and change the world.

Bag of Randomness
- If local golf talent Jordan Spieth is the next great thing in golf, then no other tournament benefits the most than the local Byron Nelson.
- Another child meets Jesus in Heaven after an accident, and another book is published with a planned movie. But I think she totally one-upped the other kids who have books written about their after death heavenly experiences. She claims to have sat on Jesus’ lap. #scoreboard This girl is actually a local product from Burleson, and local pastor TD Jakes will produce the film.
- I’ve had two separate white women in their seventies recently compliment me on our children and then state that the world is a much worse place than what it was when they were a child. I guess that’s a matter of perspective, we no longer have separate water fountains, bus seating arrangements, or schools for different races, and Americans with disabilities are able to access things more easily. I get their point, but I don’t think it’s as bad as they think it is. I mean, dude, come one, we now high-definition in our homes, Wi-Fi, and “Brawndo’s got electrolytes.”
- We use Irish Spring soap because it’s the cheapest at Costco, but I’m not sure if it’s a gender specific product. I certainly don’t mind WifeGeeding using it, it makes me think of what Bono might smell like.
- Thanks to loyal reader Bryan, I now know the story behind the missing longhorns at the Rangers’ ballpark. But this sentence is a bit confusing to me, it sounds like the original stone longhorns were supposed to last only two years, surely they should last longer than that – Rob Barnes, president and CEO of Dee Brown, said the old longhorns reached their expected lifespan after two years.

Something for you fellow project management folks
I just discovered Microsoft Office Lens which is now available on both iOS and Android, it use to be just exclusive to Windows Phones.
Basically, you can take a picture of a skewed photo of a chart or diagram on paper or a white board, and then it will fancy it up. The app will run optical character recognition (OCR) and give you a clean looking editable version.
This can come in pretty handy if you are in a meeting or auditorium with an off-center view and need a clean copy of the graphic.
The video below is a bit old as it says you can get it in the Windows Phone store, which is true, but like I said, it’s now available for iOS and Android.
