Sorry to hear that Michael deleted his account here and went back to Plurk. Apparently this place wasn't active enough for him, and we talked about the wrong things. Hope he finds more happiness over there.

I'll have what you're having.

Cool. The DailyPic app lets me choose the photo from a specific region, since Bing shows different photos depending on the user's location. Useful when I don't like the US photo. For example, today's photo is from the Australian edition, because I don't like photos of mushrooms (a personal quirk).

This is what mine looks like today. The background pic changes every day using the DailyPic app, which uses the Bing picture of the day..

I use Dark Sky and the stock app.

To be honest, the next car dealer I find with decent coffee down here will be the first one. I do not understand the fascination they all seem to have with Bunn-O-Matics and Farmer Bros. floor sweepings when even a Keurig would be preferable.

Basically. My wife is a light sleeper and needs 9-10 hours a night. I sleep like a rock and get by with 5-6. But I sleep really deeply--I once slept through a vehicle exploding outside the house. And the sirens of the fire engines that responded to the call. And the firefighters pounding on the front door. For realz.

Just had my own car serviced a few weeks ago. You should see what the air filter and cabin filter looked like after a month of fires around here. Scary.

It's the Pacific Northwest. They are required to provide decent coffee and Wi-Fi by state law, I believe. :-)

Well, well, well. This is very interesting. I'm unlikely to need it, but I like the idea of capping the cost but not the data.
