Failed devices you bought to replace/turn off/connect to/please stop an audio system designed by the one guy who wants his radio to turn on full blast every time he starts the car and have no other options but that.

Found myself wondering what it would be like if we Subaru drivers had something like Jeep people and their dumb rubber ducks. What would it be? Rearview mirror dreamcatchers? Ani DiFranco CDs? Swatches of plaid flannel?

Good morning election workers. May your spoileds be few, your challengers amiable, your pens unleaky, your lines short, your bagels warm, and may all your signatures be legible.

A funny little algorithm story. I noticed I've been getting a lot of recommendations for prayer videos on YouTube. Not 100% sure this is the reason, but it hit me while reading a transcript that I watch a lot of videos with this "Deacon Tony Elli" person mentioned.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) put out a little infographic for International Moon Day. It compares the diameter of Australia to the diameter of the Moon. This always throws me because in my mind, the Moon is actually bigger!

Infographic showing drawings of Australia and the Moon side by side. Their respective diameters are annotated (4000 km vs 3400km). The population of Australia is stated as 28M people while it is 0 people o the Moon.

The Bayview Mackinac has been a disaster, with about half of the boats already retired for one reason or another, and I can't stop laughing at the skippers who took their trackers home and are still appearing in the race.

Aside: I love YouTube's feature of producing a transcript of videos. It's extremely valuable for accessing information from a bunch of talking heads. Double-aside: "Utah" with a Michigan accent keeps getting transcribed as "You talk" and it's taken me awhile to get used to this.
