Micro movie review
Spotlight: The true story of how the Boston Globe researched and reported the story of how the Catholic Archdiocese there tolerated and covered up the dozens of priests who had sexually abused children for years. Excellent. A must-see.

Semi-random thoughts
- In my wife's mind, taking a nap in bed is being lazy, but if she does it on the couch it's OK.
- It was a disastrous Saturday for alma mater, the University of Wisconsin. The football team lost to Michigan State in overtime, which ended their 21 game home winning streak (second best in the nation). But much worse, our young but quickly improving quarterback broke his collarbone, and is probably out for the rest of the season. And on top our football woes, our men's basketball team lost its newly-named starting point guard for the season due to a torn ACL in pre-season practice.
- I always keep a Chrome window open, in addition to my normal Internet Explorer one(s). This is so I can keep two Yahoo Mail ID's open simultaneously. Now I've found another use for my Chrome window: When a newspaper website limits me to a certain number of free articles per month, I can switch to the other browser and get double.
