Just a thought.
A Kimray we have several info displays around the campus. They run on a Navori system that serves a video loop. Kind of a hassle to edit the video loops, but they like splashing propaganda all over it. We also have Kiosks all over the place that are used to clock in/out and record job information that displays various .png files for news/info when idol.

We were trying to avoid running power out there is why the e-ink looks attractive.
OKC was on our local news but I didn't see a white El Camino or Duck Dynasty pepperwagon so I figured you all (or as my grandmother would say, yins) were OK.
16* today so I guess I am done with shorts until spring. We were out for dinner Saturday when we had a light dusting of snow. The Eagle LS tires that came on the car are worthless in snow. As we were slipping and sliding trying to get on the main road my wife asked if I was going to spin us out. I replied with front drive it is difficult to spin out but that you will just plow straight off the road. She said that made her feel much better. I told her at least with front wheel drive you get to see what you are going to hit. Then, about 2 miles from the house a deer ran in front of us. The ABS on the car is noisy, sounds like bolts in a blender, but it is effective. I just kept thinking the deer better not slip and fall as it was quartering away from us. We ended up missing by at least two feet and I was glad there was only one.
Jacob thinks that any car is stupid if it has front wheel drive so I picked him up from mom and dads with the truck. He was in the back doing a great Dukes of Hazzard Yee-Haw! at the top of his lungs as we are pitched sideways.
