• Keeping score at a baseball game;
• A focaccia appetizer;
• Footnotes; 1
• Wikipedia;
• Hot Fuss (the Killers album) and Hot Fuzz (the movie); 3

• Making people laugh; 4
• The St. Johns Bridge;
• Dungeons & Dragons;
• Keyboard shortcuts; 5
• When the writeup writes itself; and
• When the campaign extensions become my favorite part of the idea; and
