    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    I guess another dumb thing I believed was how I was going to tell my NBA coach I wouldn’t be able to play in Sunday games. I grew up in a very religious household and both working and playing sports on Sundays was a big no-no. Since I was 100% destined to play in the NBA that upcoming...

    Dumbest Thing You Believed

    When I was a kid I was taught that alcohol was the devil’s brew. One time when I was on an airplane they served sandwiches as the meal (back in the good old days). They also included grey poupon mustard that proudly advertised it was “made with white wine”. I pointed out to my mom but she...

    What's streaming that's good TV/movies

    I’m watching the CNN documentary on Chernobyl. 4 hour-long episodes. Watched episode two last night. Having spent two years in Southern Russia in the ‘90s and encountering a couple refugees I’ve always been fascinated by the episode. I had a permit to go on a tour of the exclusion zone in 2020...

    Fan Boundaries with Student Athletes

    I once walked into a restaurant and a famous NBA coach was seated with his wife and another couple. I was taken aback and we made eye contact. I could see him stiffen a bit, undoubtedly assuming I was going to walk up and start engaging. Well I took it a step further I pulled up a chair and...

    wi-fi extender

    If it’s through ATT, most likely they are offering you a mesh network with one or two units extra. There shouldn’t be an extra cost or subscription fee. Note you can buy your own for $100+ if they do try to charge you a monthly fee.

    I have a picture from back in the day when I was in Russia of an old lady selling a complete pigs head on the hood of an old Soviet car. I wonder which meat is safer between these two cases.

    20 Ribeyes for $40 Scam

    I noticed last night my bottle of vanilla expired in 2022. Still seems fine. Maybe even aged better. Probably different than meat.

    Artificial Intelligence: How are you using it in everyday life?

    I’m not a coder but I used Claude code to wire up a financial app to replace quicken Simplifi that costs me $70 a year. It covers everything I used in quicken plus a few things I tracked in spreadsheets. It’s taken about 2 weeks of periodically updating as I want to check my balances etc...

    Lake Laverne update

    One time I was walking by Lake Laverne and this guy ran past me real quick and jumped in. Two guys in suits were running after him. He tried to splash/swim across. They just ran to the other side and tackled him and then put handcuffs on him when he got out. Probably needed to dry clean their...
