The Verge has a headline: Moment of truth: will Obama take on the NSA?
I’m pretty sure I’ve pointed out Betteridge’s Law of Headlines before:
Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.
Well, duh…

Most Bills Go Nowhere
I find this graphic troubling. Looks like about 1% of bills introduced in Congress get passed. This only shows 2011 and 2013. Has it always been this way? Are congressmen just introducing bills to impress their girlfriends?…

Rethink the Boarding Pass
Beautiful and functional design. Surely airlines will adopt it immediately, right? Right? Bueller?…

Puppy = Happy
Sure, we’re in the early honeymoon phase with our new puppy. The girls have been fantastic with Coby. They got dressed/ready for school extra fast so they would have time to play with him in the morning. Same thing with getting homework done tonight.
It’s day 2 and he’s (mostly) pooping/peeing in the right spot. He’s super good. The girls couldn’t be happier. The TV didn’t go on at all tonight. He’s just super cute and cuddly. I probably smiled more on a Monday night than since, I don’t know, a huge Packers win.
Danielle likes to lay with him as he falls asleep…

Manning/Brady Seattle/San Fran
Sure, as a Packer fan I’d like to see Rodgers in there, but for the most part, aren’t these the matchups football fans wanted to see?
Manning/Brady is a classic story. Sure, it’s about the teams and the coaches as well, but this game will be billed as the latest matchup of two hall of fame quarterbacks.
The NFC game has two exciting quarterbacks as well, but this is more about the teams. Division rivals, Seattle looking unstoppable at home, but San Fran on a serious roll.
Next Sunday should be a great day for football…

Coby
It has begun. After years of pleading, we got our girls a puppy. We got a rescue dog from the North Shore Animal League. He’s a Terrier mix, 12 weeks old, and his name is Coby.
This is us leaving the shelter. Wish us luck…

The Coolest Box Ever
OK, even that title sounds lame. Like saying “the most exciting envelope”.
But I stand by my title. I order endless things from Amazon. This would make me very happy.

Chris Christie
Conan has the amusing tweet. But I’ve always said there’s a reason the tolls on the bridges and tunnels get charged as you leave New Jersey, not when you go there.

“I had been drinking”
Did anyone really think Dennis Rodman attempting basketball diplomacy with North Korea would end any other way?…
