I love watching the giant building-on-its-side cargo ships move in and out of the bay. Other than the occasional giant “MERSK” on the side, I have no idea what the markings on the ships mean. Now I do. Gorgeous pictures, too!

While we’re talking about shipping on the Bay, let’s talk about those giant AT-AT looking shipping cranes (I don’t care what they say, there’s no way Lucas didn’t get inspired by the shipping cranes!!). This podcast is an 8-part series that covers the history, present, and future of container shipping. I promise you, it’s way more interesting than you might think. The link above takes you to all eight episodes on SoundCloud. This is a link to episode Notes. And this is a link to the iTunes podcast link

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

The season finale of the third season aired a couple weeks ago. You know what that means, right? BINGE TIME! Before the second season started, Fern and I asked each other, “Where can they go with this?” That’s become a thing now, because we asked the same thing Saturday. Wow. Between Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and The Good Place you have two of the smartest, funniest shows on television. If you’ve hesitated, take the plunge. It’s so worth it.

This 10-part series (they’re about 8-10 minutes each episode) chronicles the Branch family as they turn a derelict former auto repair shop in Palm Beach, Florida into their dream home. Really, it all functions like a long commercial for Lowe’s, the presenting sponsor. But I’m a sucker for home improvement shows and habitable warehouses, so they had me at the first episode.
