What a great read on this Sunday morning. "Archival culture" is apparently a thing, and now that I think about it, might explain why my son asked me to find (and revive) his old point-and-shoot camera a few months ago. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I love and hate this at the same time — Three teams in the AL Central (Tigers:26; Guardians:23; Royals:23) currently have more total wins than the first placed team in each of the AL East (Yankees:21) and AL West (Seattle:22). ⚾️💪🏟️ #mlb #baseball

“…Trump…offered his latest sharp criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, complaining during an Oval Office press conference…that dealing with the central banker is like ‘talking to a wall.’” Good. That’s exactly how it’s supposed to work. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We need the best educated workforce in the world. We need the best teachers in the world. We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do. No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

The Browns "trade down and stock up" strategy makes some sense. I get it. The problem is, I have zero faith in their ability to execute a strategy. Any strategy, really. I don't think I've ever seen a situation for which this gif is more applicable. #nfl #nfldraft #browns

This book has been sitting in my den for almost 20 years, along with five others from the Covert One series. My wife bought them for me after I read The Bourne Identity. Not sure why, but I just never read them. I grabbed The Hades Factor as a quick beach read for the week. #reading #fiction

Same as me! Here's my restored 1968 Triumph Spitfire. I'm hoping the car makes more appearances in the book beyond the early chase scene...which did not end well for Lt. Colonel Jon Smith! #classiccar #triumph #spitfire

Five years after removing it from my old office, I finally installed the crown jewel of my patent marking collection...in my garage. Now on to hanging dozens of other, smaller markings around it. Might take me another five years. #patent #collection

“It is becoming increasingly clear that fever is not simply a symptom… it actually plays an important role in the protection against infection...We might take Tylenol...to make us feel better when we have an infection [but]...what are we giving up?”

"Apple is preparing to launch...iPhone 17 Air...the thinnest iPhone ever" I usually buy the biggest, chunkiest model in the lineup to accommodate my aging eyes and fat fingers. In this AI era, though, I'm thinking I'll want the 17 Pro Max for the inevitable performance gap over the "thinnest ever."

We spent time in Fargo each December for a few years, a few years ago, for high school robotics competitions. We stayed near NDSU and managed to catch a tailgate one year. Really opened my eyes to FCS football, and I've enjoyed following the team ever since. Go Bison! #ndsu #fcs

Maybe someday the market for old patent markings will take off like this. Maybe not. I’m buying either way. “More than $26M in rare medical books are forecast to sell at auction in the 2020s, based on sales through 2024,…a dramatic increase in demand.”
