Speed Cube
I ordered a Speed Cube. The movement is impossibly light, but the orange and red are nearly indistinguishable unless they're adjacent, so it hasn't actually made me faster. I think I'll take a marker to one of them.

Smudge
The new Spot Messenger finally showed up in stores, and now there's one in my pocket named Smudge. Also: my gym thinks my wife doesn't count as family, and the Garmin Oregon's topo data is gorgeous but still stupid expensive.
Hooooooooome
Ten hours door-to-door, thanks to New York air traffic control. But I discovered the Delta Crown Room exists, and now I plan to arrive at the airport absurdly early forever.
Enchiladas (Made in China)
Super Taco Express: a Mexican restaurant staffed entirely by Chinese people, including a guy with a perfect American accent. Watching them make my enchiladas, not laughing out loud was a struggle.
Donation #20
Blood donation number twenty, and this one sprayed across my arm, shirt, and face. The newly cheerful technician scrubbed at the stains while I considered timing my exit, lips bloody, to greet the next donor with "the food here is delicious."
Gogo
Gave Gogo Inflight a try (free for first-timers) and didn't recognize half the names in the seatback Us Magazine. Use Tor over in-flight wifi, people; someone like me is watching. Also, Delta let me keep the wine bottle.

St. George, Utah, and its underwhelming sign on the hill. Did they lose interest mid-construction, run out of white rocks, or is it the grade the Health Department gave the local restaurants?
Fred: Before and After
Meet Fred. He doesn't do much these days beyond serving as a warning to others, but he once roamed my office. I present Fred: before and after. I'd have swept up the hairs if I'd known, and if I owned a broom.
Protocol
If you walk into a restaurant and order to-go, does protocol dictate even a small tip on the check?
Two Minutes
Two minutes to thirty, in my birth time zone anyway. And in base-16, I'm still a teenager.
