Brave, Brave Sir AJ

We had a disgustingly picturesque October weekend, complete with hikes in the woods, a visit to a pumpkin patch, two Halloween parties, one including a hayride, a fresh-baked batch of sugar and spice cookies (my grandmother’s recipe), the last baseball game of the season (with AJ on the mound), and an all-family leaf-raking and pile-jumping extravaganza.

Sony nabs patent for everyday object motion detection: the fragile glass of your TV won’t know what hit it

All we've got to say is that they'd better be selling seats to the first living room demonstration of this tech when somebody gets cute and grabs a real baseball bat for a demo.
