- Windows 8 Day is here. The $40 upgrade is eminently affordable, but I’m not sure I want it on my primary machine, and I doubt either of my others will run it well. So I rather doubt it will come to live with me in the next few days.
- I’m past ready for Windows Phone 7.8, though.
- Adam West wrote in Back to the Batcave that the “Batman!” in the TV theme was horns, not voices. I thought that was so cool. Guess what? It’s not true. It is voices.
- I had my first Doritos Locos Taco Supreme this week. That’s the Taco Bell taco with a Nacho Cheese Dorito shell. It was okay. Same calorie count as the standard shell, but wow, was it salty.
- When Alabama and Mississippi State meet Saturday night, they will both be undefeated. Has that ever happened before?
- Mizzou, I never took your jawing seriously because I knew you didn’t realize what you were getting into. You have a good shot at your first SEC victory this weekend, and I wish you well.
- A 41-mile section of Texas Highway 130 now has a speed limit of 85 miles per hour. If my math is correct, that means you could cover that distance legally in just under 29 minutes. That’s awesome. Bring on tiered driver’s licenses and truly reasonable speeds on limited access highways nationwide.
- I love that it looked so much like Yankees vs. Cardinals in the World Series, and now it’s not. (Not that I’m paying attention.)
- I’m seriously digging iHeartRadio. Actual radio reception is poor at my desk, but now I can have any talk I want. Wish I’d known about this sooner.
