Thursday miscellanea #457

  • I’ve now lost 10% of my all-time high body weight.
  • Though I’ve always found Roseanne Barr a talented stand-up comic and comedic actress, I was mostly ambivalent about Roseanne the first time around. That’s where I am with the revival too. I do think it’s a real shame it’s so overtly political right out of the gate.
  • So this program was a secret between Uber and the governor. That wasn’t good. Now it’s emerged that a key piece of safety software was intentionally disabled in the self-driving car in Arizona that killed a pedestrian earlier this month. I’m guessing Uber is quite glad it’s already settled with the woman’s family.
  • I’ll be experimenting with making my own granola soon. If I come up with anything I think is notable, I’ll share it with you.
  • Did you know that Motorola is a portmanteau of motorcar and Victrola, from an early car radio the company developed?
  • I need to investigate whether and how I can watch The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling without subscribing to HBO. He was one of my very favorites; just a tremendously funny and brilliant man.
  • I am working on a way forward for BoWilliams.com that better reflects the things I want to receive my time and energy. I do not intend for the site to go away, but it may be a little herky-jerky until I figure it out. Thank you for your patience, and thanks especially for reading.

  1. Bo, I’ve watched both parts of “The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling”, it’s excellent. You need to get on that given how big a fan you are of his work.
