I've Seen This Episode

I'm sorry but the idea of Star Trek cosplayers walking around a Renaissance Faire like time travelers will always be hilarious and amazing to me. pic.twitter.com/pcNtrJ3QfE

Yassin's Falafel House

Last year, Yassin's Falafel House was voted America's nicest place.

Recently someone broke into the restaurant. The following was posted on the door.

We think this should be a very good deal
We all win and the only people lose is the window and doors companies but the has enough business even with out us 😉

Music Sales by Format

A really cool animated chart of music sales by format... watch the rise and fall of 8-track, cassettes, CDs, downloads, and streaming.

CDs represented 95% of sales in 2002. Nothing else has reached that dominance (yet).

New iPad

The new iPad was announced. I think I'm going to break down and get one for myself - although I am considering the iPad Pro as well. We used our iPad 2 as our only tablet for years, so I consider this a long term investment.

The new iPad is only $329 (32 GB), but upgrading to 128 GB seems prudent. Amazon has the 128 GB model available for pre-order at $399 (a $30 discount).

The Pro models are really slick with the Pencil 2 that attaches/charges to the side, but it is double the price.

Go Vols

Florida kid shows up to school with a homemade University of Tennessee shirt. He gets picked on.

UT sends him a bunch of official gear, decides to produce his t-shirt (with 50,000 pre-orders), and offers him a 4-year scholarship.
