Ah, the 17th island. Remember that? Remember them? Remember those? Enough to wish for death.

Still struggling to wrap my head around a man who regularly defied death leaving this mortal coil. RIP, Sabu. Thanks for everything.

I no longer hear circus music in my head when things are going off the rails. Now I only hear "Ganbaru!", from the excellent soundtrack to Promise Mascot Agency, which everyone I know should be playing. kaizengameworks.bandcamp.com/track/ganbaru

This just triggered a long buried memory from a 2007 O'Reilly conference in San Diego where I watched Tim O'Reilly struggle with the toaster. Someone else watching made a quiet joke about how the future *is* evenly distributed. Toasters and tech guys, name a more iconic duo?

The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. Hoping another outlet who wants one of the best voices in US sportswriting snatches him up and doesn't let go.

Finally back in Newark, waiting for a car at 1AM, as you do. The pain of the moment will pass; the memories of the weekend will survive.

Last three trips we’ve collectively taken have all had some significant flight issues and I’m starting to feel really cursed?

I was contemplating a joke earlier today about that "power rankings" are just "vibe charts", after watching @mattdoyle.bsky.social deal with reader feedback. But I see MLS Next has implemented a vibes-based standings table, so domestic soccer remains infinitely funnier than any snark I can manage.

The world weighs on my shoulders, but what am I to do? You sometimes drive me crazy, but I worry about you. I know it makes no difference to what you're going through, but I see the tip of the iceberg and I worry about you. (Yes, I'm at the point in my life where I'm quoting Rush lyrics. Sigh.)

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but apparently that new listing of Big Rigs on Steam is completely bogus; searching for the publisher, "Margarite Entertainment" (not GameMill) only brings up said Steam listing, the header is stolen from SteamGridDB, & the client icon appears to be AI-generated.

I keep getting benign marketing emails from the pie place in Philly I did all my Collective breakfasts at, and I don't have the strength to bring myself to unsubscribe (even though they don't ship out of town). Someone in NYC/JC, please sell hand pies! They're great!

Her: Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD. What does that even mean? Me: *draws deep breath* Boyz II Men, together with Another Bad Creation and Bell Biv DeVoe, were members of the East Coast Family, who played a pivotal role in the New Jack Swing movement of the 1990s. In this essay, I will

I'm going to look at every offbeat game release for the next 20 years and think "maybe *this* is Creepy Redneck Dinosaur Mansion 2?"

After weeks of sharing disks with software that broke Apple’s AtEase desktop, I eventually got called to the princpal’s office. He gave me a speech with a tree analogy (there was one out his window!), and then asked if I would stop. “Sure.” They gave me the Mac lab admin password the next day.
