Thursday miscellanea #165

You know that when you take your medicine in the morning and the tap water is too cold to drink as quickly as you’d like, it’s pretty chilly outside.
Enjoyed catching up with Charlie at Stem & Stein last night. I added Rogue Yellow Snow draft and Jai Alai draft to my IPA experiences. Jimmy’s Ass Kickin’ Nachos are highly recommended.
After retrying and re-dismissing Joli OS as just a bit too cute, I went back to Ubuntu on my netbook. This was partially in the interest of prolonging battery life, as I’d kind of like to use it like a phone, just charging at the end of the day. Also, I discovered that if I pass on the Unity interface, which I’m not crazy about anyway, the video driver performance is a bit better (but still not perfect).
“Frank quit. Bought a goat farm. Moved to Ukiah. Left you this note. He was too broken up to talk about it. Said he knew you’d understand.” RIP, Harry Morgan.
Speaking of domesticated quadrupeds, I can’t muster a lot of bother about the slaughter of horses quietly becoming legal once again in the United States. I think pretty much what I had to say about eating cats applies here too. Your horse is your best friend? Then don’t sell that one to a slaughterhouse.
I poked around just a bit yesterday with the new Xbox 360 GUI. It seems very Windows 8ish. The boys and I will explore together a bit more tonight after homework.
I feel about the BCS kind of like I feel about game officiating. They both are what they are. I don’t apologize when it breaks my way, and I don’t moan when it doesn’t. Fortunately (I guess most of us would say “fortunately”), a plus-one looks more likely than ever in the near future. As for January 9, 2012, let’s go! Roll Tide!
