The Real Barrowma Official Actual

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then...
This headline and subhead are unbecoming of the times. Reminds me of Toronto Star headlines about the 1990's Blue Jays: "Bell Tolls in Key to Jays Victory" and the like. Funny for a rag, but weak for the NYT.

@nbcswarriors.bsky.social this overhead view is terrible. It's fine for replays, but please quit showing it for live play.

I want the meats, but I officially live in an Arby's desert.

Epic to see them live back then.

@jonostrower.com Check out this flight track of an Emirates 380 that is just arriving at SFO now. Is this evidence of GPS disruption over Russia?

Clicking through, rather than an actual news article, I got this AI summary. Curious how they chose the photo in the alert. Nice work, Google...

Wow, Google sent me an alert regarding a magnitude 3.2 earthquake nearby this morning.

Lovely gray day in SF.

I love store signage. James Smith & Sons has some of my favorite signage in London.

Definitely a fancier venue than when I saw them in a high school auditorium in Montreal in 1989!

I was just looking at a word cloud and thought to myself, "Man, word clouds are a bunch of bullshit. I wonder what Tufte has said on the topic."

So I searched Google. Sigh. I'm quite confident that "Tufte word cloud" does not mean using word cloud in a manner consistent with his principles.

Love that old school signage!

When did NYT become fucking Buzzfeed?

Of course, if you want the wrong answer...

Monday NYT downs-only in 6:33. My goal is under 5 mins. And QB for Sunday's Spelling Bee - my highest scoring QB ever, it was a slog.

Always loved this scene from Rain Man.

Speaking of British signs... Seen at a tube stop.

Post an unusual sign if you feel like it.
