Terminal F at the Philly airport has a specially-designated cornhole area, but no one’s playing.
I’m at the airport ordering a burger from a touch screen kiosk. It just asked me to enter my “info” so I can be notified when my food is ready. I think it was looking for my name.

I wonder how many cardinals are emailing the Vatican asking about a hybrid option for the conclave.
The free, open, Internet pre-enclosure was wondrous.
It still is. In pockets.
It would be great if more people came out and created on the open web. It’s a fantastic medium!

@riehs - 1/24/12 Lightweight vests that can stop any bullet? Sounds likes Bush's hydrogen cars. #SOTU @riehs - 1/25/11 This #SOTU has officially become Bush's hydrogen car speech.
I miss the days when tweeting during a #SOTU just involved making ironic references to Bush’s hydrogen car plans.
I often think a struggling award show should differentiate themselves by taking a break for 20 years. How wild would it be if the award for best movie of 2024 was decided in 2045?
