Who else is watching Notre Dame - Stanford today? For my own reasons, I'm rooting for ND... even though Cameron went there and I wouldn't otherwise cheer for his team. Thus is life!

What Engineers Do!
I ran Cat6 this week - 2 lines, from behind the TV in the living room, through the attic (with proper cable management, thanks for asking), into the sunroom, and I'm figuring out how to wall mount a TV in that aluminum framed nonsense. I seem to have got a strong block on the wall (strong: I did a pullup on it) with a 2x6 of redwood mounted on 4 drywall anchors inside the aluminum studs. The mount itself is simple - 2 lag bolts into the 2x6, but I don't want the TV to fall out.
Anything else I should be aware of?
