Did not expect to see a Seattle Dog on the #F1 sandwich special menu at the Marriott in Baku.

A sandwich special menu from the Baku Marriott featuring, surprisingly, a Seattle dog (hot dog with cream cheese and grilled onions, and, in this case, jalapeños)

And while I appreciated the "tradition versus modernizing the game" plot with Maxi League Golf, I hope no one gets the idea to make a sequel of Major League with Charlie Sheen taking on a Savannah Bananas like league.

Happy Gilmore 2 is a wonderful watch full of nostalgia and gags and a few touching sentimental moments sprinkled throughout. When so many movies now seem so "planned," it makes me miss those silly comedies of the 90s.

After almost 20 years, I'm ending this run at Microsoft as I look ahead to something new. Grateful for so much that made it great, but most of all: the people.

Every time you check in on the guy he’s doing something simply incredible. What a time to be watching baseball.

For a little while, no one could get the game scoring going on Gamechanger, and I got to have a little bit of happy time watching the kiddo play ball and keeping score.

The NCAA and ESPN have such a remarkable product in the College World Series regional => super regional => World Series for softball and baseball and there is not nearly the promotion that the events deserve… this is electric sports television all day and night.

Stanley Cup playoff sudden death overtime format is the most dramatic 10 seconds to 5 hours in professional sports. Never change it.

💰 quote "Semantic versioning is a cheap and horrendously overused framing device in both technology and marketing. And it’s cheap for exactly these reasons…it’s too easy for anyone to come along and bump the counter again and say it happens to be because of whatever fucking thing they are doing."

We experienced this yesterday. When blocked, it very politely stopped and beeped, and then graduated to a gentle siren prompting a confused “what’s going on oh it’s a robot wheelchair wanting me to get out of the way oh I should get out of it’s way oh isn’t that cool” reaction in 5 quick seconds.

RIP Rickey Henderson. Counting myself fortunate to see him throw out the first pitch at T-Mobile park to end the 2024 season, and the era of the Oakland A’s.

Yes! It’s the place I have for anything that’s some form of “nice job” goes and it’s a good place to go to for perspective. (Although, last few years I moved it from outlook and have been using “send to onenote” where I do a little bit of curating and also screenshot teams chats too)

A “spare time” and “way to go” folder are my two favorite folders!

The line of cars parked under the no parking signs gets a grumpy old man noise from me every trip to the airport. Very optimistic now that “City officials have now installed a temporary ‘No Standing to Watch the No Parking Signs’ sign”
