Thursday miscellanea #217

I’m coming back from a missing two days, and Lea’s headed into hers. It’s not flu, but it’s definitely worse than a cold. You know that glorious sort of fever where if you get out of bed to get a drink of water or something, you’re convinced you’ll never, ever be warm again? Sheesh. I’d have much rather just gone back to work yesterday.
By my count, the SEC is 3-3 in its bowl games so far. Meh. The Outback Bowl has been the most exciting one to watch (that ended well). And, hearty plaudits to Vanderbilt for its 9-4 season!
Just finished Hunter S. Thompson’s book on the Hells Angels. (Seemed like it’d be interesting sick reading. It was.) I’ll restart Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas next.
For now, the boys seem to have gotten over “Gangnam Style” on their tablets over, and over, and over, and over…
There’s a lot to be said for federalism. Jonah Goldberg has an excellent column giving a concise definition of it, as well as an extended example of why it should be our goal.
I’ve never once taken a photo of that silly little square pattern that’s supposed to get me more information about a product or service. Does it do something a search engine won’t?
Looks like weather is going to be seasonal for the next couple of weeks. Winter is still my least favorite season, but it should be winter. So I like that.

I think the QR code thing is just a stupid trend. All they ever are is just URLs. The same ones you can easily find on google as you mentioned.

I guess the vision was phalanxes of consumers, moving through with phones at the ready, desperate for product information and drunk with lust at the thought of having it for a single button push.
