 I have a new phrase-I-dislike-a-lot: "dropped". As in, "the latest episode of Poker Face just dropped". Do not like. At all. Please put it in the same ungrammatical trash pile as "literally", "same difference", "my bad", and "sick". ("Utilize" remains in a class of its own.)
The latest episode of Poker Face has been released, and it's great :)
 This, I love. CeramicSpeed drivetrain, driven. It's not real yet and may never be, but still seems like it should be. Chains and Derailleur shifting seems so dated. 
 Another coolness: the Rantoge clock. A kickstarter, saw an ad for it on Facebook. Not considering the kit itself, but thinking about whether something like this might be attempted with 3D printing. The general concept of displaying "LED-like numbers by pivoting segments seems transferrable, even if the mechanism must differ.
 MSN: 'Impossible' new ring system discovered at the edge of the solar system, and scientists are baffled. I love impossible things in space :) and also love Quaoar, a small "planet" half the size of Pluto which orbits the sun outside Neptune's orbit. Clearly a good starbase for aliens.
 More ring things: Saturn’s Rings Are Acting Strange – Hubble Captures Mysterious “Spokes”. Less likely to be an alien starbase effect, more likely gravitational turbulence. The Quaoarians are investigating :)
Not sure what to make of this: code with swearing is better code. I'm a huge believer in code comments - have sometimes been accused of over-commenting, which I don't think is a thing, but I've never ever sworn in them.
 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: What I Think About LeBron Breaking My NBA Scoring Record. Pure class.
Russell Beattie: How I saved Super Bowl 50 for Amazon. A great story, and rings SO true. I especially like the lag between realizing there's a problem and pushing out a fix for it.
No word on whether he swore in his code comments...
 Jean-Louis Gassee: The Musk Method And Twitter. An interesting read and take. I think we need some time to pass before we evaluate Elon's impact on Twitter; all of his successes were failures at a given point in time.
Stopping now. It's time for this post to "go gold". Another phrase-I-dislike-a-lot ... the correct term is "ship". Going gold is after you have shipped 500,000 copies! :)
