  •  Red Bull™ now comes in a 12 oz. can — just what I needed. During my brief stint of unemployment, I forgot how early one needs to be up in the morning in order to be at work on time.
  •  Election day tomorrow: no more political commercials, no more attack/counterattack. They’re all lying — about themselves, about their opponents, about their policy ideas, etc. Matt voted for Kodos. He has been following the local ballot issues much more closely than I have. FWIW, I don’t plan on casting a ballot.
  • The Lions pull off the upset against ATL yesterday. I have Roy Williams and Kevin Jones on my fantasy team. Superbowl bound and picking up steam…
  •  Markets in Everything: marijuana home delivery. I think I saw this in a movie once. Originality notwithstanding, this makes perfect sense. And the market figured it out: it is more expensive (at the very least, in terms of risk) for the Wall Street trader to buy dope from a 19-year old on the street corner, and he’s willing to pay a significant price premium to have it delivered discreetly to his door.

    FYI – if you’re still using Microsoft IE, it’s come to my attention that the markup for bullets does not display properly.

    So when you see “&bull” just pretend it’s a nice, neat bullet-point.
