    a driverless car company should offer Ozzy a deal to be their spokesperson.

    Ozzy Osbourne failed his driving test 18 times. He eventually passed after 30 years of trying at 60 years old. To celebrate, he bought himself a Ferrari, but later crashed it & decided to give up on driving completely as it wasn't for him.

    Sad to hear that Walter Williams has passed away. Was always consistently amazed by his ability to communicate economic ideas in a clear, cogent fashion. You could learn more in 10 mins w Walter than you could in an entire year with an average professor.

    of all the video game platforms I've owned (and that history goes all the way back to Pong & Atari 2600!), Google's Stadia feels the most disappointing. Apparently that "monopoly" of theirs couldn't help them generate a reliable gaming experience or decent content library.

    No, sorry, I will not be subscribing to your new super special secret newsletter, which would have been just fine as a regular blog instead of another thing clogging up my inbox.

    stage actors' union is opposing online PPV webcasts of Broadway shows, reports. Why discourage the only lifeline you have during a lockdown? The productions I've watched have been terrific. They keep those actors & show managers working.

    I'll never forget my kids' faces when I first threw this on my 1980 Denon turntable and then cranked up my 350-watt Cerwin-Vega speakers, which date from 1985. Their brains melted. It was like they were hearing real sound for their first time in their lives.
