Decided to chill in the bedroom with the cats while the webcast plays in the other room. I’ll try to stay up to update stats post show but I might fall asleep instead.

Thankfully I didn't realize how bad the injury was at the time - I was just far enough away to not be able to see it clearly - but it's the only thing I remember about the game.

I was at that game! The next year was scary with the Raging Rhinos’ goalie splitting his head on the post.

That's basically the entire article. On X a discussion of AI is "Claude 6.2.29 is 1.0024% faster!" instead of talking about how tedious the whole topic is.

I think the post explained it well. On X they can discuss the minutia of AI models without having to deal with anyone reminding them that these come with a price.

Oh I bet most people would be FLATTERED to be mistaken for me. Right? Right?

Yeah I expect it at shows but in the wild sightings are a lot rarer.

We had a seltzer emergency so I ran to the grocery store and I got "Are you Zzyzx?"'d at the QFC.

I've been working on this book for so long that from the time I first wrote the introduction to today, Dead and Company moved from the present to the past tense.

Writing is fun. Rewriting to make it better, not so much.

Based on www.setlist.fm/stats/billy-..., it looks like Billy played over 400 distinct songs in 2025 (if my quick counting of all of the songs tied with 1 performance each is accurate) and that's just stunning.

What I'd like to find out - but the site doesn't make it easy - is how many distinct songs does Billy Strings play in a year. Phish got to the mid 200s in a few years but I wouldn't be stunned if Billy crossed 300.

I'm talking about in the context of her going into a store and trying to buy a bird that clearly is not for sale, what the odds that the average sales person would know that this was Kelly Clarkson. I'd be willing to bet that 3-10% would be a good estimate.

This isn't knowing her name. This is could recognize her if she walked into a store. The Voice has under 10 million viewers. The average episode of her season of AI pulled a tad over 10 million. There is no longer any "everywhere" anymore for anyone short of Taylor Swift.

⏱📋David Steinberg⏱📋 @zzyzx.bsky.social · 13h

10 million Americans being able to identify her means an average person would have less than a 1/30 chance of doing it. Mind you that's not accurate because the population that would know her isn't randomly distributed.

In 2026 "very famous" translates to "vaguely remember hearing that name" for a lot of people.

I found a way to get this info from Billy Base because I was wondering how many songs he's played with all of the traditional songs he loves. Looks like he's performed 1025 distinct tunes live which is more than Phish's 987.

It's just more fun to discuss if a campaign should have done X instead of Y. It's the sports radio of politics.

I think it's just that the jams feel a bit different than they have been playing.

This show feels weird to me and I can't quite figure out why. I'm not hating it by any means.

If I didn't care who won that game, I would have been thoroughly entertained.

That was sooooo close to getting us in FG range.

This feels like a very entertaining game from my end. A lot has been happening.

That play was just stupid. We just gave away a TD for no reason before the half. I guess that not every year can go very well.

He said the push was nothing. But the helmet to bare head hit not so much.

Greenlaw is going to be suspended for a few games I suspect.

Wow! I've never seen a player wearing a helmet hit a player on the sideline (without one) head to head.

This game feels like it's a completely different sport than the early games I watched. It's at 3x speed.

I don't understand how a 49er player went helmet to helmet on a receiver for no flag.

I realized today that if the Seahawks make the Super Bowl this year, we will have played that at all other 3 NFC West home stadiums. I wondered if that would be first for anyone which then became who it could even be possible for. I think only the Seahawks, the Titans, and the Panthers could.
