My son heard about the fundraiser for the first time at practice yesterday, and was excited. He's planning to donate to the cause himself too. He's already planning to write custom thank you cards to everyone who helped!!

Currently starting Day 2 of a 5-Day Fundraiser. Thank you to everyone everyone who jumped to share or donate. After Day 1, you've helped me & my son raise $452. We have four days left and the program is at 9% of it's overall goal.

They run this basketball program as lean as possible to keep costs for families as low as possible and hire former players in the community to coach. So any contribution to help us will be appreciated!!

The program is run by a former guidance counselor at my kids’ elementary school and her husband. They are great people who run several free programs in the public elementary schools that my youngest has been involved with.

Proceeds will help cover the following costs: - Team & Individual photo shoots, video interviews w/ players. - End of Season Banquet - Weekend at Georgia State AAU Championship, tour of the OverTime Elite Basketball facility, & team trip to the Georgia Aquarium — covering all costs for the players.

I’m looking to find 100 people across my various networks and communities to donate $10 each.

My son plays for an AAU basketball program operated by a local 503-C Non-Profit “Bull City B.E.S.T”. The program runs a number of local programs for youth in Durham, N.C. designed to create community. Right now they are starting a 5-day fundraising campaign. bullcitybest.org

*Dusts off the microphone* Hi, life’s been busy/a mess lately so I’ve become very passive on social media outside of a few responsibilities on other platforms. But I have a shameless plug that brings me here: A fundraiser for my son’s bball program: app.teamfi.works/calendar/ef9...

And you don't have to wear a jacket this time (unless you're watching from the rink).

I should be able to use my VPN. Then your sites and apps should just work. The end.

This was a pretty big win for me personally, years in the making. We've been talking about getting something new, a third jersey for years. Other teams rebranded/took our old color schemes so we had to change on the fly. The results are fantastic.

Red last night. I think they restrict access to the ice early in the day, but by the time bums like me skate it's fine. Ice settles plenty overnight, all the excess water finally freezes.

Yep, time to open the swimming pool!! [The ice was so bad last night.]

Well, he had a longer run in Dallas than I anticipated. And now being DeBoer watch.

And then, you can't unsee it everywhere -- or at least that's my experience.

This was a great read! Really got me thinking about **So Many Things**.

Oh, this is a great read from Melanie. I've felt this sensation with so many things. I'm curious what will improve if/when things are given time and nourishment.

Walk-in with it light outside, walk out to a brisk spring evening is the best.

bumpy bump for this week’s post! teaser:

Our users don’t care about how any of this stuff works. When people use our websites and apps, they don’t think in terms of the “frontend” and the “backend”. They see the things on the screen: a section, a header, a post preview, a sortable list.
But maybe our users are right.

Sadly, I'll be coaching in Mebane at the same time. Was hoping to come out. Was going to pitch to Demetri a jersey-number math trivia challenge for the games portion of the evening. But I figured only you and I could possibility do well in.

Thank you to Patrick for capturing my good side for my very brief cameo.

What the Hell?!?!? I'm sorry, Adam.

Pat Clarke (he/him) @patclarke.dev · 11/04/2025

This, like many other layoff stories out there, is a very tough read. Adam was extremely helpful and kind with his time when I took advantage of his office hours time. His work is crucial in helping advance everything UX/UI in the browser to where we are today. Can't forget that.
