Bag of Randomness
- I bet Jeff Bezoz thinks the new Amazon mobile phone is some kind of game changer.
- I’ve never had an ingrown nail and I’m surprised that people actually get them.
- The Granada Theater came up with a good idea. They are showing some films of the 90’s and will have an additional screen where you can see everyone’s tweets.
- I finished the second season of ‘Orange is The New Black’ and felt the season finale was a bit like the ‘Fargo’ finale, too satisfying.
- The new season of ‘Rectify’ starts today. Since it’s on the Sundance channel, I actually had to look up the channel number. For you fellow DirecTV subscribers, that’s channel 557; and unfortunately, it’s not in HD.
- The state income tax of Texas is the summer electric bill. I actually stole that line from a Reddit post.
- I have decent amount of Wise County followers, so here’s a little history lesson for you. Wise County is named after Henry A. Wise, who was a Jeffersonian Democrat, former governor of Virginia, fought in a duel for a seat in Congress, and supported the annexation of Texas.
- Denton County is named after John B. Denton, a Methodist Episcopal Church minister, lawyer, soldier, and political candidate.
- Dick Cheney and his daughter started a new organization and in their announcement video, the former V.P. decided to wear a cowboy hat for some reason. The lighting on their faces and the way the background looks makes me think they filmed it in front of a green screen.
- ‘The Dana Carvey Show‘ only lasted seven episodes back in 1996 but had one heck of a writing and acting cast that included Louis C.K., Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, and Robert Smigel.
- This has bad idea written all over it – GM app lets you scan a license plate, then text the driver – The example they use is a guy hitting on a girl . . . I bet most girls are going to feel creeped out.
- Richard Durrett, former DMN and ESPNDallas.com sports writer, dies at 38 – He leaves behind a wife and two young children. As a 38-year-old man with a wife and two young children, this news is a big reality check. The story was actually on front page of CBS News website, so I wonder what he would have thought about that.

The top-ranked teacher education program doesn’t have classes
The best preparation program in the country for future high school teachers, according to new US News and World Report rankings, happens at an online university you probably haven’t heard of where students don’t take any classes.
The Western Governors University’s number-one spot surprised even the National Council on Teacher Quality, the advocacy group that worked with US News on the rankings.
Western Governors does away with many features of traditional higher education in favor of measuring competency: what students know and can do. Its supporters hope this could make college cheaper, help students graduate, and ensure they actually learn something along the way.
Western Governors, one of several colleges offering this kind of education, doesn’t look like what most people imagine when they think of “college.” That’s not just because it’s online — the university has done away with lectures, discussion sections, midterms and even grades.
Instead, students take a pre-test for each subject area they have to learn. They’re given a mentor with a graduate degree in the field they’re studying and access to textbooks, tutorials, and other resources. Eventually, they’re assessed on how well they understand the concepts. They need about the equivalent of a B on the assessment to move on.

Anti-Tax Crusader Grover Norquist Endorses Renaming Redskins After Ronald Reagan
Washington D.C. anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist, who has been on a long campaign to name pretty much everything after Ronald Reagan, said renaming Washington’s football team “The Washington Reagans” is a “great idea.”
The United States Patent and Trademark Office canceled six federal trademark registrations for the name of the Washington Redskins after ruling that the name is “disparaging to Native Americans.” The ruling was in response to Blackhorse v. Pro Football, Inc., a petition requesting the term “Redskins” be stripped of its trademark protections
“This is a great idea,” Norquist told BuzzFeed when asked about chatter about the new name on social media. “The former Redskins can be the Ronald Reagans on winning years and the Nancy Reagans on losing years. Unless that gets us in more trouble elsewhere.”
“However, this should not distract from our ongoing efforts to trade DC statehood for (“Reagan”) naming Rights,” Norquist added, calling the notion “fun to consider,” if not necessarily serious.
Norquist started the Reagan Legacy Project in 1997 and is the founder of Americans for Tax Reform, the anti-tax advocacy group founded in 1985 at the request of Reagan.
