¶I’ve watched Jake land countless times, and it never gets old for me. But watching him land tonight was really something. I headed over the the runway once I knew he was on the final leg of his flight. I sat there, in the darkness, waiting. Then, suddenly, the runway lit up all at once as the Pilot Controlled Lighting turned on. I couldn’t see the plane yet, but knew he was close. Then I noticed his lights off in the distance and he was on the ground not long after. Seeing those lights come on as I sat there alone was truly amazing!

¶Just sitting here alongside the runway, waiting for Jake to appear. Pilot Contrilled Lighting just turned on—he must be close! That was pretty cool to see.

¶Renee and I have had a lot of fun watching Jeopardy lately. The current champion (Matt, something) is having quite the run — with a 30+ game win streak, he’s now second all time on that metric, trailing only the GOAT, Ken Jennings. Matt still has to essentially double his existing streak to catch Ken, a tall order for sure. We’ll see.
¶Anyways, during yesterdays broadcast, I had an idea for a game show. The premise is simple - have contestants compete on their web research skills. A host would ask Jeopardy-level questions (or give the answers in Jeopardy format). The contestants would have a set time limit - 60 seconds maybe? - to answer. First one to buzz in gets an advantage of some sort, but a penalty if wrong. They can answer using their own knowledge. Or, they can use the web! Viewers could watch their web research on the side, in an Iron Chef, behind the scenes while it’s made, sort of way. At 60 seconds, everyone shows their answers and points are awarded for correct answers, with advantage/penalty based on the time they buzzed in factored in.
¶I think this would be fascinating to watch, to see how people research things. Sites they use, how they scan info, and assess credibility. Producers could have a lot of fun designing questions based on information available on the web.

¶This article is sort of fascinating, and is a door into a fairly deep hole. Oh, and the obvious soundtrack for reading it is Fantasy by Aldo Nova.

¶The vaccine advances over the last two years are nothing short of incredible. Unfortunately, we’ve really had little time to celebrate these leaps forward because we’re too busy trying to convince people that vaccines work. It’s mind boggling to me.

¶The Rays have to be the favorite to win the World Series. And if that happens, Tampa Bay will hold three (NHL, NFL, MLB) of the four (NBA) major sports championships this year. That’s incredible. And the city doesn’t have an NBA franchise, so it’s hard to ding them for that.

¶This NFL season has drawn me in more than any other season in recent memory. I’m not sure why. It might have something to do with the Browns having a legitimate shot at making a playoff run. Maybe it’s because Ohio State already lost and, well, one loss in college football makes it feel like the season is over. Heck, I’m even sort of rooting for Tom Brady. We’re only in Week 4, too.

¶Years of working on stent patents gave me an idea for repairing my Crocs. Teddy recently bit through the strap on my new pair. I thought about gluing it back together, but the internet tells me that cyanoacrylates don’t play well with the foam in Crocs. Then I notice a small piece of fret wire on the workbench from one of Jonathan’s guitar projects, and an image of stent barbs popped into my head. So I cut a few, stabbed the ends of the wire into the cut ends on the strap, and then plied them together, over the wire. The barbs seem to be working — the repair held all day.

¶This was a great way to start Friday, and to start the month of October. Ship traffic seems to have been relatively light this year, so I try to appreciate it every time one rolls through. Seeing the Federal Mosel leave port while drinking my coffee was truly enjoyable.

¶I haven’t reviewed the data yet, but this is an important step in filling out the arsenal against COVID. I’ve been following molnopiravir from the beginning. The trick will be to get it into pharmacies AND to get the word out…people need to know about it, seek it as soon as they develop symptoms, and be able to get it once they do. And, all of that needs to be balanced against the risk that it’s widespread availability may give some people further internal support for their decision to not get vaccinated.
