This aged poorly.

I just watched my second favorite team, and my favorite team get kicked out of the MLS playoffs back to back.

Tonight sucks.
I just KNEW when Russell-Rowe subbed in early that something special was going to happen. LETS GO CREW!!!!

I discovered something genuinely ironic this week. While taking Coursera's "Using AI for Good" course, I opened the developer tools to see what was happening under the hood. What I found was embedded, hidden AI-instructions in the HTML...

Heads high, @nccourage.com. Y'all finished strong as hell. Pumped to be new season ticket holders for next year, and cannot wait to be a part of it!

Went and saw SIX: The Musical at DPAC in Durham today. What a great show. Great venue. Made me feel like I've been shortchanged all those years at the Stranahan back in Toledo :D

I really cannot oversell just how impressive Linux has been for this absolute newbie to it. Both @bazzite.gg and @cachyos.org are incredible distro's, and I have been floored at just how easy it's been to transition.

I am very close to making a dual boot of Asahi on an old M1 MacBook Air next.

I put a new NVMe into my PC last week to better manage a true dual boot system (windows 11 will live for a while longer to ensure I'm good without it).

I decided to give another Linux distro a shot and installed cachyOS, and holy crap. So good. I haven't loaded WIndows since.

I see you, The Lone Bellow. Y'all thought you could sneak a new single out there without me noticing, didn't ya?

Bouncing between three distinct job roles today has my brain spinning worse than normal, added on to the only three hours of sleep I got last night… wait, what was I saying?

I appreciate the offer, but I think I can handle this one…

Thanks to @bazzite.gg, I have joined the ranks of Linux-users. Long overdue. I legit had no idea it could be this good, easy to set up, and frictionless.

I've been transitioning to @anthropic.com for my limited API usage already. I find them to be the most "adult" in the room of any of the major LLM creators at the moment.

But, this article makes me feel even more justified. You know you're doing something right when:|

I’ve been playing catch up on acquiring some free (to me, through my employer) certifications. All mostly entry level GenAI stuff, but the people who follow me on LinkedIn must think I’m obsessed with how fast I’ve been posting those “pleased to announce!” posts. 😂

Well this is depressing.
BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏
