TED Talks – Emoticon fairy tale

I’ll be honest, this is the first TED Talks I have watched completely. Most of them are far too lengthy for my adult A.D.D. and usually not all that interesting.

3 decent minutes.

So close.

Today is the closest I have ever come to getting the coveted “Bag O’ Crap” during a Woot-off. Bummer. I was quick enough to get the “I want one” button and get to the login page but since I wasn’t smart enough to have logged in earlier in the day, I lost out due to a server overload. For those that don’t follow too closely, they sell for a dollar but are rarely just “crap” and always sell out in less than a minute.

Chipotle, fun for all socioeconomic brackets

The kid and I just dined with Brad Johnson at the semi-mexican Southlake dining establishment also known as Chipotle. And by “dined with” I obviously mean just happened to be in the same room at the same time.

This is the same restaurant that I also had the pleasure of gawking at Mark Teixiera as he inhaled a 4lb burrito last season, post-trade. I guess you could call it 76092’s version of The Ivy.
