- Truvia update: simply put, so far so good. My coffee has tasted just fine and I don't feel any new cancers sprouting up anywhere, so I would have to say that a week in, the truvia experiment has been a success. My next coffee related decision will be whether to switch from my staple Pilon to an espresso made by Shenandoah Joe. Having the Joe twice this weekend in Charlottesville has really turned me onto this particular brand of bean, but at 3x the cost per pound of the venerable Pilon, I have to wonder if the juice is worth the squeeze. More to come later.
- Don't look now but the Rangers are on a 5 game win streak. So are the Giants! The Jets, not so much. Steve Sommers on the Fan tonight made a good point about the wildcat offense that also made me laugh: the wildcat is nothing more than the running game by a different name. Somehow calling it the wildcat gives defensive coordinators a pass because it makes it seem so much more new, exciting, and dynamic. Way to go, Steve-o!
- Interesting article about Mad Men I read today in the Atlantic. The author makes some good points, especially with regard to the occasional failings of historical accuracy (of special interest to me as a known history man). I do fault the author for using the word verisimilitude TWICE in one piece, which smacks of insufferable douchery.
- Continuing with the Mad Men theme - man, January Jones is really hot.
Thats all for now, I have arguably far more important writing to be doing.
