Why do I stay subscribed to every marketing email for every sports team I've bought tickets from? Because sometimes you get a gem

At the very least they should move the stop in front of the air conditioned waiting area! That way the bus drivers can sit there and let the folks know it's time to leave.

Petition to move the bus stop at BNA to be as close as possible to the awesome waiting room, so folks waiting can see if the bus has pulled up or not

I’m a firm believer that every bus or tram or subway car or whatever should have signs inside of that bus or tram or subway car telling you which bus or tram or subway car you’re on.

What a wild bus ride home that turned out to be. Downtown detours, the bus taking multiple wrong turns (and the driver saying “oh my god!” after each 😂). You don’t get this kind of entertainment in your dumb car.

Had to wait for the new microcontroller to come in, and for me to have the motivation to do something with it. But on Tuesday we’ll be real fancy (and I won’t have to move this to change records)

Nice weather, and pork was on sale for like $1/lb at Kroger. Feel like I’m stealing from them at that point.

Turns out WeGo doesn’t publish realtime information for the Star, whomp whomp. So now I have a fancy board that shows when trains are expected to be where they are. Which, when you think about it, kinda fits the general vibe of what we get with WeGo sometimes

Luke @luketlancaster.com · 03/05/2026

Was shocked that there wasn’t a WeGo Metroboard tracking the Star so I did what any self-respecting person with a Raspberry Pi and some LEDs would do. Test run with live data tomorrow morning!

Something about opening up Paramount Plus, wanting to watch some live Open Cup games, and those games not being included in this section.

Asked the robot to draw an 8 mile circle around Geodis to see where lightning strikes would delay the match. Which is your favorite part of Nashville?

Look at this fancy room they made for me, so I don’t have to suck on exhaust while waiting on the bus!

Not a rental, but there's a house at the top of our neighborhood that the owners are really sure they're gonna be able to make bank off of, and the listing keeps expiring because ain't nobody paying these prices in this part of town

Sick (Claude I’m guessing?) Minor nit: I’m assuming the orange (in dark mode) “-“ in col 2 is…change from last week? I’d put that on the same side of team name regardless of screen width (sorry, dev by day so nitpicking is an occupational hazard, feel free to tell me to pound sand 😁)
