Random Thoughts I’ve Had Recently

*Almost all things Google are awesome. Not sure about Google Wave, but everything else I’ve tried is really good.

*I recently got a new ESV Bible for my birthday. I recommend the ESV.

*The Nacho Cheese Dorito is the best chip ever known to humans.

*Mat Kearney’s music is something I seem to never get tired of.

*I might be as tall as Mavericks back up point guard JJ Berea.

*The internet is not a phase, but seems to be here to stay.

*The shopping carts at Wal-Mart are about the worst ever made. I rarely go in a Wal-Mart anymore, but when I do, it takes me 5 minutes to find a cart that when I push it, doesn’t want to immediately go into a hairpin turn. Almost all of them rattle, squeak, or have wheels that have rocks for ball bearings. Among the many things Target does to dominate Wal-Mart, their shopping carts are Cadillacs. Wal-Marts are Yugos.

*Speaking of shopping carts, all the ones I’ve seen in my travels overseas are 4 wheel drive…meaning, all four wheels swivel, not just the front two. Manueverability is amazing on those things. I wish all four wheels of my truck would swivel.

*Still on the topic of shopping carts, the ones overseas require a deposit. You put in the equivalent of about a dollar, and it unlocks a cart. You return the cart to where you got it, you get your coinage back. Why do we not do this here?

*How did Curling ever make it into the Olympics? Those people cannot be considered athletes.

*It’s possible for almost all nations to compete in the summer Olympics…rich or poor can win in the summer games. Not true for the winter Olympics. For the most part, only the wealthy countries can compete in the winter Olympics. Think about it. It’s true.

*“Words with Friends” app is a huge time waste.

*The most unbelievable app created thus far is Shazam. Amazing. How in the wide, wide world of sports does that thing do that?

*I’m all for supporting our local businesses and companies, but all the nickel and dime(ing) American Airlines continues to do, makes me wish all my airline miles were with Southwest. Charge for checked bags, charge $8 for a pillow, charge for a cracker. Sure wish Southwest was an international carrier.

*I wish The Unit wasn’t cancelled on CBS last year. I think it was one of the best shows on TV.

*The excitement and lure of Facebook has just about run it’s course. I love Twitter.
