    I'm seriously considering making a video which would require tavelling to Houston, TX. Anybody got recommendations of things to do/see while I'm there?

  2. I don't consume YouTube with my TC account, which means that fairly frequently my own videos get recommended to me. It is still quite jarring when my face appears in front of me without warning.

  5. There is a building near me that I can hear fire alarms going off from. I cannot see it and there's no sign of the fire department. But I can hear it and it's driving me NUTS. Been going on for ten+ minutes now. I'm gonna assume it's testing but good gravy is it annoying.

    And now I'm thinking of the weird ambiguity and overlap in what we call cooking appliances in the US. Range vs. stove vs. oven, Stovetop vs. cooktop, Hotbox vs. blast furnace We need consistency

    It's 11:16 PM and I just discovered the irony in my oven being made by Frigidaire.

    You ever have a hankering for downright /awful/ food? 'Cause I just caved and had some downright /awful/ food. No regrets. (yet)

    Here's an old turn-of-phrase I'd like to see in use more; to you and yours. There's a lovely ring to that. Happy new year to you and yours!

    Here's a friendly reminder that you can usually get a Google Home product to wake up by saying "Hey Boo Boo." Sadly it has yet to provide me with a pick-a-nick basket.

    This is about as political as you'll see me get... If you haven't run across potholer54 on YT, he makes some great pseudoscience debunking videos. This video explains my frustrations with climate change attitudes (on both sides of pol. spectrum) quite well

    Sometimes we go through really weird phases we can't explain. As we move into 2019, let's remember that things can and do change for the better. Happy New Year to all, and thank you for making 2018 the year Technology Connections became my full-time gig!

    Here's a weird fact about myself; Between the ages of ~7 to ~12 I was *deathly* afraid of crash test dummies. No joke I was terrified of them. The sight of one spooked me to the core. But today, I studiously watch crash test footage and celebrate improvements in auto safety.

    I'm very curious about how chocolate coins are manufactured. Are they made as chocolate discs which are then stamped like real coins? Are there chocolate blanks? The world needs to know.

    Anyway, that's it for tonight. I think from now on I'm going to speak of the atmosphere as the sky ocean we live on the bottom of. I'm going to remind myself what happens to pee in a pool. And I'm going to think more consciously of what happens to my sky ocean. Good night

    It may be helpful to imagine each of the things you do in a day being done by a billion other people at the same time. Ask yourself, is this gallon of gasoline really going to hurt the atmosphere? How about a billion of them? How about a billion of them everyday all the time?

    The sky in the ocean may seem incomprehensibly large, but it is very finite. We know how large it is. We know where its boundaries are. And we know that we are a part of it. Our individual pee streams may be inconsequential to the ocean in the sky. But we do not pee alone.
