 Another good one... American Gods by Neil Gaiman for $1.99 (Kindle edition).  I still need to watch the TV series based on it.

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell

I read this when it came out and, as usual with Neal Stephenson's stuff, I really enjoyed it.

No Nonsense Extra Class License Study Guide

 I'd really like to get back into ham radio... seeing the updated No Nonsense Extra Class License Study Guide by KB6NU makes me wonder if I could make time to get ready for an upgraded license.

(I've always thought the biggest benefit of winning the lottery would be the time you get by having all that money.)

The Three-Body Problem Series

I am really enjoying The Three-Body Problem series. It has been a long time since I've plowed through anything with this sort of speed or consistency. (I'm about 30% done with the third book, but I've only had it for four days.)

Ted Lasso Easter Egg - Victory

We were re-watching Ted Lasso last night and during the Season 1 Episode 7 "Make Rebecca Great Again," the name of the goalie for Richmond's opponent caught my eye. Coach Beard was writing it on a whiteboard. I had to lookup the other names, but, sure enough, this is the line up from the 1981 movie Victory (Escape to Victory) with Sylvester Stallone and Pele. Stallone plays the goal keeper, Robert Hatch.

Small Bears

I LOL'D.

From Hold Everything: Stormtroopers Have Discovered Tactics:

"Stormtroopers also demonstrated their willingness to break off and chase whatever came their way, with very little discipline, which is how an army of small bears nearly wrecked one of Vader’s legions on the Forest Moon of Endor. So the modicum of tactical acumen that stormtroopers displayed last week came as a genuine shock."
