- One more nail in the coffin for HD-DVD: Netflix has dropped the high-def DVD format in favor of Blu-ray. This is why you should be careful not to waste money on the very newest technologies, you'd hate to invest heavily in the next betamax, a good technology that was rejected nevertheless.
- My wife called me at the office today, "I painted the bathroom." "You did?" "Yup." "Uh… okay." Of course she painted a room in the house; why not? Have you met her?
- KU and MU both accept about 77% of applicants to their universities. However, not everyone who is accepted actually attends. 53% of KU acceptees eventually enroll, while only 47% of Mizzou acceptees do. Both schools often serve as the second choice for students applying to other schools. Acceptance rates varied widely between Harvard which accepts only 9% of those that apply (but 79% of those acceptees do enroll there) and Iowa State which opens the door to 90% of those that apply.
- A few of us got tickets today to the Brigade arena football team home opener. The Kansas City Brigade will be playing the Tampa Bay Storm in their first game in the new Sprint Center on March 1st. I can't wait!
- According to his voting record, Barack Hussein Obama is the most liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate. I heard a caller on the radio today say that if he wins the Presidential election, it would be an Obama-nation. That's funny.
- My favorite shirt right now (thanks Laura):

I had an extra gallon of paint, it needed it and I'm without a vehicle locked in the house. What do you expect? Besides that "cat" bathroom has never looked or smelled better :) It doesn't actually have to be spring for spring cleaning/refreshing. Living room, check, kitchen, check check, bedroom, check, small bathroom, check. Hmmm, what's next?
