I actually killed a mosquito in GeedingManor last night. How the heck can they still be alive after all this cold weather?
While researching a topic in a technical manual I discovered that PDF stands for Portable Document Format.
‘Modern Family’ made a Caine Mutiny reference which I didn’t connect with. I’ve seen Brando’s Mutiny on the Bountyand I’m familiar with that as a pop-culture reference, but not the Caine Mutiny.
This Bill Cosby story keeps getting crazier. Now Janice Dickinson come out as one of his victims, NBC and Netflix has cancelled shows on him, and TV Land has pulled ‘The Cosby Show’ from their lineup. Man, this slope is slippery. Everything is happening so fast, whether he’s innocent or not, I still think this is some sort of coordinated effort. My guess, some kind of a social media company that specializes in making things go viral was in charge of that video of little known comedian Hannibal Buress’ routine in a small comedy club.
A perfect name for a self-driving car would be “automobile”, but that’s already taken.
CNN.com has redesigned their website. The message on the screen when I visit it on my work laptop tells me I’m one of the select few to get a special sneak preview, though I doubt it, but my Chromebook still shows the old design. That surprises me as I only use Chrome as my browser and I thought the cookies all synced. The bottom of the screen has a scroll, which I find annoying.
Per this article, hotcakes are a cornmeal type of pancake, and pancakes are no longer selling like pancakes.

Regis was on Letterman last night with white hair, the man stopped coloring it gray.
Jon Stewart was a guest on ‘The Tonight Show’ and it was crazy to see the amount of people now working for Fallon that either have worked for or with Stewart when he had a show on MTV.
Than Bono bicycle crash was much worst than I imagined – Rolling Stone – The singer suffered numerous serious injuries, including a “facial fracture involving the orbit of his eye,” three separate fractures of his left shoulder blade and a fracture of his left humerus bone in his upper arm. The latter injury was particularly damaging, with the bone shattering in six different places and tearing through his skin. – The article goes on to say that Bono will “require intensive and progressive therapy,” which leads me think his guitar playing on the upcoming tour will be limited.
Even though U2 isn’t performing on ‘The Tonight Show’ this week I still decided to check out some of the uploaded lip-sync videos Fallon asked his audience for, and I think this is the cutest and most creative.
I’ve had a good bit of luck repairing my laptop’s oddly wired power harness and replacing my Chromebook’s screen by buying discounted parts off eBay and finding tutorials on YouTube. So now I’m going to try to replace my phone’s cracked screen. Last night I found a bunch of helpful videos and bought the replacement screen for only five bucks with free shipping. Of course, now I feel like I’ve jinxed myself by talking about this beforehand. “Well done is better than well said.”
You see a lot of local commercials for Dr David Kim for bariatric or gastric surgery. One man used him for the gastric sleeve procedure and lost a lot of weight, mainly because to his surprise his legs were amputated.
If I’m correct, DeMarco Murray is in the last year of his contract. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Jerry doesn’t re-sign him after the season and get a newly reinstated Adrian Peterson for a bit of a discount as other teams avoid him for his recent transgressions.
If I’m reading the Cornell University website correctly, freshmen have to take a swimming test and if they don’t pass, have to enroll in a swimming course.
I wonder if “freshman” will change to a gender neutral term one day. I’m not saying I’m for or against the idea, just wondering if it will change.
I’m not a fan of HOAs and I’m not a fan of my HOA charging a fee to pay our semi-annual dues online, means I write a check for it and send it snail mail to save a tiny chunk of change. I think these are the only two checks I write a year.
Top 100 places to work in DFW – 2014 – It was a bit surprising to see a church in the small companies list. Moldy, I do believe that’s your church. Well, not your church but the one you attend.
