Football Epilogue

 Yep, 2020 continues to suck...might as well Jump (to 2021)!

So, my company's marketing/application videos are notoriously campy, but also a little fun. Here is a recent one using our sensors to make a "smart" chess board.  It's almost as cool as Wizard's chess .

Here's an earworm for today. I hope the traditional Pi day food is in greater supply today than toilet paper and hand sanitizer! 100 Digits of Pi

A little post-Christmas catharsis. \m/

I woke up this morning to a temperature of -12° F (-24° C). It is a good day to stay indoors and sip a warm beverage. This day is following the winter weather pattern here in Minnesota: first it snows and then it gets cold. The saving grace with such cold weather is that it occurs to a crystal clear sky and bright sunshine reflecting off of the new snow. A newcomer might be caught off guard from the false visualization of outdoor warmth and may even try to take a deep breath; abruptly choking on the arctic flash freezing of the windpipe. Scarves and shallow, deliberate breaths to acclimation are thus quickly learned. If the wind isn't blowing, one can be quite comfortable in a normal winter attire where body heat and insulation make for a fine cushion. A little labor can even result in the dropping of a layer. However, the slightest breeze will steal that cushion with the comedic sensibility of a practical joke; leaving you to shiver and hasten your pace to get back indoors....

I was going to post a different Megadeth song, "A Tout le Monde", but in doing a little web surfing found out that former drummer Nick Menza had died a few months ago. Apparently I don't pay as much attention to rock/metal news as I used to. Anyway, here's one of my favorites from the "Nick and Marty" era.

What can I say? It was a laundry weekend.
