I’m sitting on a plane right now, and the flight attendant just made an announcement over the intercom saying “This plane is going to Chicago. If that’s not where you’re headed, then come up and talk to us and we’ll get you pointed in the right direction.”
Now, in theory, because of that whole “ticket” thing, shouldn’t somebody going to say, Dallas, not be able to get onto a plane going to Chicago?

And here’s a little blurb that I wrote for Net Assets, an independent school magazine that I write for:
Think your goldfish has a hankering for wide open spaces? Look no further than “Fish on Wheels,” which, just like its name suggests, gives Goldie a chance to see new places by setting an aquarium on wheels. Powered by an arduino (a small programmable microchip), battery and a few other techie bits, a camera above the tank watches the fish and based on its movements, attempts to steer the swimmer in whichever direction it seems to want to go. Dutch inventors at Studio Diip call it “an attempts to liberate fish all over the world.”
Ok, so it sucks to get a parking ticket, but at least the Boulder County municipal courts were kind enough to give me a good laugh while I was dishing out my $20 fine.

Turns out, you’re not supposed to put the meat thermometer in the oven.
Who knew?
Sometimes, I’m just too lazy to go hunting around for Saran Wrap to preserve the leftovers.
I call this “The Food Terrarium.”
Went over to Adam and Em’s to watch the final game of the NCAA tournament. We were rooting for Kentucky in support of Randy, so in the last minutes of the game, Mike offers the team a bit of encouragement: “Come on, guys. Score some more of those basketball points!”
Our kids, if we have them, are doomed to be enormous nerds.
