    Under the premise that passing and touchdowns should be pursued at all costs, my fantasy football league has: - Points only for passing & receiving - No defense - No kickers Air Raid scoring, baby!

    Kelly Claes is such a savvy volleyball player. Variety, instinct, and skill on display with every 2-ball. So impressive.

    Has Chris Paul been to an NBA Finals before? I can’t believe that the broadcast hasn’t yet discussed this topic. ;)

    It’ll be interesting to see what happens…but generally I do think that NIL will be good for college sports.

    The tough part - with no players Union - would be EA getting all these players under contract. Maybe you only buy player info for certain players? For example “buy the Heisman front-runner pack” and just get some subset of players.

    Perhaps EA offers an in-app purchase for downloadable “real rosters”. For example, you can buy the “real Alabama roster” (names, numbers, attributes, etc.) for $5?

    To avoid NIL fees to players, my hunch is that EA will not associate real-life players with in-game players. For example, randomized player info and attributes.

    Per reports, is making a big announcement on July 20th about the return of an “old sports franchise.” With the onset of the NIL era… not only is a path cleared for the return of the NCAA Football video game franchise… but athletes would get PAID for appearing in it.

    900 consecutive days . Hace 900 días, yo comencé a estudiar la idioma de esperanto. Hace dos años, yo también comencé a estudiar español. Cada día, yo leo, hablo, y escucho en español. Y ahora, puedo leer las palabras al lado de los autobuses en San Diego. :)

    Microsoft is boldly using 3 different UX patterns for responding to a recurring meeting: 1️⃣ Outlook (Web): Attend? (1 button) ➡️ Occurrence ➡️ Comments + Response 2️⃣ Outlook (Mac): Attend? (3 buttons) ➡️ Occurrence + Comments + Response 3️⃣ Teams: Occurrence ➡️ Attend?

    Nothing makes you appreciate a mesh wifi network like trying to set up an old router + wifi extender. Mesh: - bims_wifi Wifi + Extender: - bims_wifi_2.4GHz - bims_wifi_2.4GHz_extended - bims_wifi_5GHz - bims_wifi_5GHz_extended 🤬

    Interesting perspective on how traditional sports media practices — specifically press conferences — should evolve.

    "One of the world’s best athletes would literally rather quit a grand slam tournament than have to talk to the press. Rather than scrutinising what that says about her, it might be worth asking what that says about us."

    And just when you have it covered, there’s Messages on Mac with “option + enter”.

    Remote work is not going away. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet + get a podcast mic. Recommendations? "When audio quality is high, people judge content as better, more important. They judge the speaker as more intelligent, competent, & likable."

    I don’t even pretend to understand how crypto or NFTs work. But I truly do appreciate others explaining the concepts in overly-reductive and humorous ways. (🙏 + )

    Obviously real world examples are more complex...but you get the point. :)

    For example: “When a doc is created and the author shares it with another person who doesn’t have access, then they can edit it.” vs. “Bob created a doc. Sue does not have access to the doc. When Bob shares the doc with Sue, then Sue can edit the doc.”

    It’s so true. I usually try to: - Remove vague words (“it”, etc.) - Break up compound sentences (commas only for lists). - Use active voice. (“When a user uploads a doc” > “The doc is uploaded”) The writing sometimes feels robotic and unnatural...but the result is more clear.

    Some insanely high % of product management is trying to make sure team members interpret fifteen words in roughly the same way.
