The apps versions are very well. There’s also a How to Cook Everything Cooking Basic for learning the very basics which I also would recommend.

More like blind squirrel getting an acorn if you ask me.

I played quiz bowl in Missouri, where my high school won the Chicago national tournament in 1989 at (then) prestigious Lake Forest College. Missouri has always been really serious with brain bowl (as it’s also called) just as California and Texas are the big players in the United States Academic Decathlon shindig.

I pick wines whether they look interesting or have an interesting bottle, which means I’m the one buying the Crown Royal specialty stuff because of the plush velvet bag it comes in, and then giving it to a homeless man down by the river. (It’s a tad shameful, I know.)

I think it’s actually very clever by the NFL. If people watch this game in huge numbers, I can easily see the NFL alter the DirecTV deal to make more live games stream-able without needing a DirecTV dish. And I really think what will end cable/satellite TV is when leagues start steaming their games on their own…

I saw the bunny screwing…twice. I wonder what the animation team thought of that idea.

I think it was sad because it’s open all the time and gets no days off. (Not even holidays.) It’s happy now because it’s discovered Ritalin.

Chloe is the butt-monkey no matter whether which alternative universe Max finds herself in, it seems. I do wonder if the circumstances made her such a terrible friend to Max, or if Chloe is pre-dispositioned to be a bad influence on Max?

This may have been the first time a geek has dumped a goth.

What’s interesting is that the windows update that put this ugly icon on the notification tray seemed to have automatically downloaded even if you have it set to “never check for updates (not recommended)” like I do. That’s very creepy.

I recommend going to IKEA and drool over waffle irons with your boyfriend next weekend (then snack on meatballs and lingonberry juice while plotting what exactly to put on your wedding registry).

It maybe clean and coherent, but it still is Windows 8-ish. Plus, I really didn’t like the post-modern look of the Windows 8 boxes, and there’s nothing about Windows 10 that suggests that I can change the look back to something like Windows 7 and earlier. It just doesn’t look pretty to me.

This is my concern as well. And I do think it’s a bad thing. It’s one thing to have a subscription for software, but another altogether for a subscription for your operating system.

And here I’ve been thinking that Washington is normal and Oregon is just weird. (Portland, the Vermont of Oregon.) Man, am I wrong.

I wonder if Bingo halls (and Church halls, Knights of Columbus halls, etc.) in Florida have pictures of this man, making sure he doesn’t get within 100 feet of the Bingo hall?

Now the real question, how loud laughter did your wife when she finds/found out you bought this collection?

Whatever Cherry’s paying his wardrobe consultant has earned every loony (Canadian dollar) tonight.

In High School, I had the distinct pleasure of being the yearbook’s prom photographer all four years. I liked prom, but wouldn’t miss it if it went away, which it almost did in my junior year when money for prom was stolen and the prom was held at a Catholic church’s bingo parlor. The seniors wept leaving prom.

A friend tweeted to me that he thinks Cherry’s wardrobe tonight was taken from his grandmother’s couch. Yikes.
