Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

CNN on VA Tech Shooting
At about 4:09 today CNN played a video tape taken during the horrible shootings at VA Tech. This time they took up a 1/4 of the screen with large white numbers counting the "Shots Heard". If that wasn't tasteless enough, the background behind the numbers looked like a blood smear. But if you look carefully it was a map of Southern Europe, North Africa, the Middle east, and India with the land and water colored slightly different (and uneven) shades of red. I guess they had it lying around and thought it would fit.
