Technology — The New Magic

Published by Adam under Observations

Have you noticed this trend? The word “technology” is becoming a placeholder for any concept someone doesn’t want to explain?  This is especially true in marketing.  There is a new beer bottle with “vortex technology.”  There is a new camera with “face recognition technology.”  I’ve designed a boat with new “anti-sinking technology.”  I’ve added “human interface technology” to my latest computer program.

M heard about Bart Starr for the first time.

We had a chance to visit the Green Bay Packers’ training camp this week.  The evening yielded these photographs.

The Tundra was not yet frozen.

The Vikings Starting Quarterback

Published by Adam under Observations

Let all media outlets be hereby forewarned.  Beginning today — excepting the live broadcast of a Packers vs. Vikings game — any time we hear or read the name of the Vikings starting quarterback we shall immediately switch off the radio or television, trash the newspaper, or what have you.  We hold no grudge against said quarterback, but this story grates on us.  We have had the opportunity to exercise this privilege thrice in the last 24 hours.

C and M fly, A is PIC

Published by Adam under Adventures

Finally, C agreed to go flying with me as Pilot in Command (PIC).  I think she just wanted to get it out of the way.  M and K also went along and it was M’s first ride in a small plane.  Before the run-up, K suggested that C might want to pray that she would not get sick!  It was a smooth day (that’s why we went) and I do not think she enjoyed it, but I think she didn’t hate it.  So now, we shall wait to see if her dislike at least moderates into indifference and then maybe someday she will enjoy flying.  I think I see a couple of opportunities for advancement if we could go on a double-date.  Stay tuned.
