Friday Varia and Quick Hits

It’s been a long summer that’s finally coming to its end and I figure I should get back to some quick hits and varia. 

This weekend is the start of college football and the Formula 1 boys are in Italy at Monza for the annual high speed chase. I’m very curious to see how my Mighty Spiders do against UVa and the UND does against Iowa State.

Mostly, I’m going to hammer away at some typesetting projects and hopefully get some reading done before the semester really collapses on me.

This gaggles of quick hits and varia is genuinely random.
