Thursday miscellanea #351

  • Well, Alabama is awake (and how). Of course, I enjoyed the Georgia game tremendously. I hope the Tide stays focused. Arkansas isn’t great, but they’re dangerous enough to cause problems if they’re insufficiently regarded.
  • Two and a half weeks to Halo 5. Two and a half months to Star Wars.
  • I met Cameron at Chili’s for lunch on Monday. It was okay. It’s amazing to me how deeply the stuff-on-the-wall has sunk in my ongoing assessments of where to eat. If it’s totally up to me, I’m not likely to ever end up at one except maybe while traveling.
  • Want to see what the most dangerous neighborhoods in America look like without visiting them? Click the entry in the list and you’ll get a Google map, from which you can go straight to street view. It’s mostly cities you’d expect on the list, though Jackson, Tennessee surprised me. I was also surprised that Atlanta didn’t make the list.
  • I just had an LED light bulb fail after less than a year. I hope it’s an outlier and not the way things are going to be, because that was my biggest problem with CFLs—failure to even approach claimed lifespan. There are no problems with the wiring in my house.
  • If you’d like to pre-order a Surface Pro 4 for me for Christmas, here is the link.
  • I’m forcing some changes in my routine that are definitely making some positive differences. Figuring out how to blog about them. When I do, I’ll share.
