Saturday Randomosity

  • The Black Box is rather sanguine about the market, as indexes are now above their 50dma.
  • Geraldine Ferraro passed away. 1984 was the first national election I voted in. I remember her debate with then-Vice President George H. W. Bush. I remember her being an inspiration to a generation of women. May you rest in peace. Thoughts and prayers with your family and friends.
  • Maloofs reject plan to keep Sacramento Kings in Sacramento. Jim Crandell has been talking about the last-ditch effort on the Channel Fox 40 news. Eh, let them go to Anaheim. I used to share season tickets to the Kings. It was fun, but just got too costly and the games are now on TV. Can three NBA franchises survive in LA?
  • DUI app makers respond to Senators. So, apps like Trapster and Phantomalert show speed traps and DUI checkpoints on your smart phone. The government worries that this helps folks drive around the enforcement activities. The app makers say maybe this makes folks not have that last drink.
  • Mike Sims-Walker wants to "pull a Lebron" and join the Dolphins. Er, Mike Sims-Walker is to the NFL as Lebron is to the NBA? Anyone buying that? I'm not even sure he'd be an upgrade from Hartline.
  • Did you see John Stossel's "Freeloaders" special on Fox News? He did a fantastic job talking about handouts at all levels, from panhandlers, to lawyers, to corporations, to the government., and even to himself. Well done!
  • I haven't bought an iPad 2. Chris Pirillo had a good "speed test" comparison on his blog. Not that much. I think I'll wait until the next generation. Sorry no link as I'm on the iPad 1 and feeling lazy (in a Saturday way) about fetching the link. And it's raining, which if there was a steroid-like injection to increase laziness, rain is it.
  • Butler made a nice run, but looks like Florida is asserting themselves. So goes March Madness. It's fun the first weekend as the little schools win some upsets, but then the big boys tend to take over the second weekend.

UPDATE: Butler!!!
