1. The New York Times today runs its obit of Ted Pillsbury. I knew, of course, that he was from the family responsible for the Pillsbury Doughboy. It was a surprise to learn, however, that he was also related to John Deere, of farming equipment fame.
2. Today we’ll find out whether KSCS jockey Terry Dorsey will change his name to TexasMotorSpeedway.com (and get a tat) for $100,000. The offer comes from TMS president Eddie Gossage. (Spoiler alert: Dorsey ain’t gonna do it.) Question: who is the savvier promoter? Eddie Gossage or Erykah Badu?
3. Remember that insider trading case involving Mark Cuban and Mamma.com that was dismissed by a federal judge (and which the SEC is appealing)? Cuban is now accusing the SEC of witness tampering and acting in bad faith. Given the way the case has gone so far, my money’s on Cubes.
4. Dallas County is facing a $56 million shortfall. You know what that means: those pesky constables will be out in force, looking to write about $56 million worth of traffic tickets.
5. Diodes Incorporated announced the release of its AP5100 step-down converter. Not sure how that escaped me yesterday. I was busy, but that’s no excuse.
