The Texas Instruments TI-99/4A was an early home computer, released in June 1981, originally at a price of USD $525. It was an enhanced version of the less-successful—and quite rare—TI-99/4 model, which was released in late 1979 at a price of $1,150. The TI-99/4A added an additional graphics mode, "...

Wizards, Royals Getting Similar Crowds
Source: kansascity.sbnation.com
Last week the Kansas City Royals hit their season low in attendance with just 9,732. That made me think of the Kansas City Wizards, who are drawing an average of over 10,000.
    It's not just about the numbers, though they're convincing. It's also about the energy at the Wizards' matches, which far outpaces anything I've experienced at a Royals game.

What Everyone Knows

While making your bed may seem tidy, it's been known by scientists for years that making your bed increases the growth of mites.
    Science brings us some very useful knowledge - including the fact that it's better if you DON'T make your bed. Also, don't wash your chicken before you cook it.

    I'm about through this book and I've very much enjoyed it, quick read though it was. It closely mirrors my own experiences (confirmation bias, anyone?)... once in awhile it's really nice to hear that someone else has had so many of the same ideas. For a book that touches on so many controversial subjects, it was actually much like comfort food. Mmmm, country fried chicken.
