1. There needs to be an easy to install and cheap system for your house so that a cell phone app can be able to automatically check the following.
A. Lights are off
B. Garage is closed
C. Doors are locked
D. Appliances are off (Stove, Iron, etc. )
This would really help lower the number of times people return back to a house to triple check that something was turned off.
2A. While cleaning my desk at home, I realized that some of my former essentials no longer need prime desk real estate. My stapler, ruler, eraser, calculator, and Chinese finger traps have all been bumped to a drawer.
2B. While cleaning my desk I wanted to plug in the Vacuum Cleaner, and it took 10 minutes to untangle and figure out which wire corresponded to my desk lamp.
2C. Moral of the story: Never clean your desk.
3. After every NFL season, it is always shocking how much extra time I have on Sundays.
4. Jeremy Lin needs a signature move so people can start "Linning".
5. ESPN started HoopIdea for people to think about ideas to improve the NBA game. Here are my suggestions:
- Expand the sidelines to increase the spacing and pace of the game.
- Decrease the shot clock to 20.
- Introduce the 4 point shot from behind half court.
- Reinstate the 5 second call so players keep passing and trying to move the ball and cannot stall.
- The last team to score each quarter gets ball to start the next quarter.
My favorite suggestion from ESPN was the ability to decline free throws when you are fouled. So you always have the option to take the ball out. I think it would need some additional rules in the final minutes but it is intriguing and would stop teams from being able to intentionally foul.
