The larger the rock, the rockier the marriage – MarketWatch – Some interesting stats in there. Given that the Snook and I dated for 4.5 years before getting hitched, had no engagement ring, got married in Vegas with no guests, and didn’t even have wedding rings for 5 years (and only got them because I bartered web development for them), I think the outcome is clear. We’re stuck with each other forever. 🙂

Tech’s Meritocracy Problem – Medium – Well written, if a little depressing. I NEED TO READ SOMETHING HAPPY STAT.

The history of Lucy’s pulling the football away from Charlie Brown in Peanuts. – For my own Charlie Brown.

How Astronauts Vote From Space – NationalJournal.com – I had never thought about this before. Very cool. I also liked that the idea came originally came from John Blaha, the astronaut that Rodd and I met back in 2007!

American Chop Suey: The Cheesy, Beefy, Misnamed Stovetop Casserole That Deserves a Comeback | Serious Eats – Interesting. I think back home in Indiana we called this goulash. I’ve certainly never heard it called “American Chop Suey.” I wonder if it’s the equivalent of Beef and Cabbage Stir-fry (aka the horrifically named “Chinky Chonky”)…

This Is the First Weekend in America With No Saturday Morning Cartoons – I’m genuinely surprised by that. I had no idea. It makes me a little sad. I loved Saturday morning cartoons.
