I feel a project coming on.

A complete list of every president’s favorite drink | New York Post – I think we need to work our way through this complete list, Mr. Snook. Preferably while playing True American.

Steve Wozniak accepts adjunct professorship at UTS | UTS News Room – Hey, that’s cool! I wonder if our team’s UTS intern Bec can help me meet him. 🙂

Fitbit, I am disappoint.

This is the Fitbit Surge, a $250 ‘superwatch’ with built-in GPS | The Verge – Yesterday I spoke with two other disenchanted Fitbit customers, upset that they are refusing to integrate with HealthKit. It’s really disappointing. I was onboard the Fitbit evangelism love train last year, but I also really, really hate walled gardens. I think they’re going to lose more customers than they gain over this.

Still a little bitter.

Florida State’s Jameis Winston Performs Admirably Under Scrutiny, at Least on the Field – NYTimes.com – I found it enormously telling that when Winston and his coach met on the field immediately after the game, the microphones picked up the coach’s repeated admonishments: “Be humble. Be HUMBLE.” You don’t normally have to remind non-jackasses to be humble.

Camp Creative

Ten years ago, I went to a five day summer craft camp called Camp Creative with my mother-in-law. I’ve been on the email newsletter list ever since. I just happened to look at this year’s classes… and I’m BLOWN AWAY. So many potential zombie apocalypse training courses!

Okay, maybe not that last one. But still. Don’t you think the rag-tag bunch of survivors rebuilding humanity might like to listen to some harp music each night?

MONA

Tasmanian Devil – The New Yorker – An article about David Walsh, the weird, weird guy behind the creation of the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania. We’re going there next month. (It has a poop machine.)

Sniff.
