Thursday miscellanea #180

  • I’m getting significant allergy relief this week, for whatever reason.  Hope you are too.
  • The boys got spring soccer practice on the same night at the same time in the same place.  The boys had Upward basketball practice on the same night at the same time in the same place.  I shudder to consider how this is eventually going to even out.
  • Lots of Madison police about right now, particularly in the western parts of town.  Y’all be careful.
  • Hey, how about a tattoo that vibrates when you get a call or text?  Nokia just patented it.  (Seems to me there’s a much more obvious application for this, ahem, technology, though we’ll probably have to wait for the patent to expire.  I don’t see Nokia getting into such.)
  • Tim Tebow has become a Jet, and a bunch of people (including Joe Namath) are making a bunch of repetitive nonsensical noise about it.  So now I’ll be a Jets fan, which is uncharted territory.  I’ve never been a New York fan.
  • With a couple of recommendations in hand, I bought and tried some MiO for the first time yesterday.  I have the problem with it I feared I’d have.  It tastes fine; it’s just twice as expensive as the powder packets.
  • Saw my first Chevrolet Volt in the wild this week.  That car takes decent photographs from some angles, but it’s not pretty in the metal.  Its proportions are awkward.

  1. What I have found out is that it’s not the flavor of the water as much as the glass. I use a pub glass and pound the first glass. After that, I alternate between plain and Mio flavored. The flavor is ok, no better than powders, but no need to mix and container is small. I’ll let you know when they come up with a beer flavor.

  2. ‘seester, it’s concentrated liquid with which you flavor water. It’s a competitor to the little tear-off-the-end tubes of powder.

    BamaDan, I just can’t make the economics work, is my point. I suppose there’s some novelty to it—it’s cooler than the powder—but to make drinks comparable to a box of powder, I only get slightly more than half the use from a MiO container.
