More apps/channels (especially Roku, which has pretty much everything except Apple content), better interface, and more updates/support. In 5 years there is a decent chance that your tv manufacturer will have moved on to a new smart platform and your tv will be left in the dust. Roku, Google, Apple, Amazon are all…

“The new Roku Streaming Stick is faster than the Roku 1 or 2.”

Does this also explain why I can’t poop when I travel?

Yes, lots and lots:

The proper amount of salt doesn’t overpower the flavor, it enhances it. We don’t keep a salt shaker on the table or anything to dump onto served food, but a pinch of salt added here and there while cooking really is important in developing flavors. If you’re cooking from scratch it’s really not adding unhealthy…

Yea we’ve started cooking a lot of our stuff without salt so the baby can have some, then season our individual plates. Definitely not as tasty as seasoning when cooking (we are not ones to skimp on the salt!), but it’s worth it so he can share mealtime with us.

We’re having a lot of fun w/ baby lead weaning. Little guy loves feeding himself, and isn’t really a fan of purees from a spoon anymore. Some of his favorites: baked sweet potato sticks, steak strips, fish-cakes (fish mashedup w/ sweet potato + egg + a starch, etc. then oven baked), zucchini pancakes, and roasted…

“All of this sounds very promising—but not entirely unexpected from the director who gave us Brick, Brothers Bloom and Looper.”

ssshhh we don’t want the pleebs jamming up our pre-check lines!

Don’t sign up for Pre-Check. Nope, nothing to see here. Move along.

The end game is to steal the Death Star plans that Leia has in A New Hope. It’s involves the Death Star, yea, but really it’s a heist movie.

They have identical content, so yea the only difference is that one is standalone subscription and one is just part of your cable package. Maybe they have to keep them separate because of they way their contracts w/ cable co’s are structured ... and that’s why Go is apparently available on more devices?

Greenwald and Ryan are way better than Hardwick ... they actually have thoughtful and interesting things to say about the show. Hardwick isn’t a tv critic, Greenwald is.

He’ll be there (along w/ Mallory Rubin):

I agree that no one should be forced to upgrate, and MS was definitely heavy-handed by rolling the auto-upgrade into Windows Update (I had blocked it for quite some time.

Get the latest version of Excel, it has each workbook in a separate window that isn’t “stuck” to other open workbooks.

The LATCH system is annoying/deceptive though, because many (most?) cars don’t have them for the middle seat, and the middle seat is the safest position for a car seat (if you have just one). I think a lot of people end up using the inner-side LATCH anchors for the middle seat, which is actually less safe and not…

We used to play massive networked Worms Armageddon games in my college dorm. Such a great game!

That’s a pricey and tasty bottle of vermouth right there, and not all that weird ... anyone who enjoys a solid Manhattan would be familiar with it; combine w/ 2 parts rye (I like Rittenhouse) and a splash of bitters, then stir vigorously with ice and strain into a chilled glass.
