The Wolverine football program has had its problems over the past few years, but they ushered in the Brady Hoke era with a solid win.
For a guy who went to MSU, I sure spend a lot of time at U of M athletic events.

A few links I've been saving:
Think you're smart? Help the FBI decode these notes.
The boys and I have agreed that we will attend the next monster truck rally that comes to the area. Because we've never been to one. That's the only reason I can think of, but isn't that good enough?
Neat objects featuring gears and their amazing gear-ness.
M is starting to play saxophone, and I tried to get him one of these at the local music store, but they were all out, and won't have any back in stock for at least a week.

I've read some books lately, but haven't passed any titles along. Here are a few:
"The Adventures of Johnny Vermillion" - by Loren Estleman. One of my favorite writers, I've mentioned Estleman in the past. This is a western about a theater troupe that robs banks.
"Little America" - by Henry Bromell. A realistic fiction novel about a middle-eastern country during the cold war. Britain and the US are propping it up, trying to prevent Communism from taking over. Spies are all over, and paranoia wins more often than not.
"The Story of a Nobody" - by Anton Chekhov. A man takes a position as a personal assistant to the son of a hated political rival in order to spy on him. It doesn't go as planned.
I've also been reading some robotics and electronics books, as I am trying to revive my memory of electrical engineering and computer architecture from college. I'm surprised how much I can remember from CPS 424, Dr. Reid's computer architecture class. What's really surprising is how I struggled through it, but to this day can remember so many details. Maybe it's hard to learn something you didn't have to struggle with.
