I had thoughts of looking at colleges over Jeff’s spring break, but when it came time to make travel decisions, we realized that he wasn’t far enough in the process to have a shortlist of schools to check out, and none of us really wanted to go away and look at yet more randomly-chosen schools, especially during Passover. So instead, we’ll be spending the holiday in Manischewitzville.

This morning, as I was reading the sports section of the Murky Nooz, I saw a weird little ad on page 4. The ad opened with “What follows is the software documentation required by customers of Voice Signature LLC” and concluded with a list of 256 words, each with an associated hex code.

I looked at their website and found out what they were doing (providing a way for someone to speak a hash fingerprint). But I can’t figure out why they’d pay good money to the Merc to print this list instead of posting it on their webpage, nor why they’d put it in sports rather than, say, business.

I guess I shouldn’t read the paper before I have my coffee.
