glanced at a Twitter analytics breakdown of engagement rates of each of my

Just
as the day after Xmas is Boxing Day, the day after Thanksgiving is Unboxing
Day. It's the day we moved into this house, 23 years ago.

Bloomberg
TV show says robots have 2 parts: sensors & actuators. Actually, so do

I
am not interested in new gadgets for Xmas. Socks, ties, dress shoes, and a nice
business suit sound fine. I’m old & boring.
For
a quick glance at the buzz of the moment, I still come back to Twitter. No
other medium serves this purpose quite as well.

Thanksgiving.
Odd that the US

another holiday a month later
Macy's
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Second largest source of helium in our solar system
after the Sun. You can look it up (at this tweet).
Thanksgiving.
A holiday set aside for watching America 's team: the Detroit Lions.
Or at least I told myself growing up in Motown's 'burbs.
