    Larry Lucchino dead at 78

    Well said. Larry brought us Theo, the Monster Seats, and the gorilla suit. It's impossible to tell the story of 2004 without him.

    I got that one wrong for the same reason.

    George Will's Baseball Quiz - Spring 2024

    The Washington Post published a baseball quiz earlier this week, and it's trickier than I thought it would be. I'm batting .300 after 10 questions. Here's a gift link: https://wapo.st/3PKBoee I'll update when I have a final score, and I look forward to your results. Edit: 23/41. Not bad, but...

    March/April 2024 MLB Gamethread

    I've never seen that in the majors. I love baseball. It's spring training so no big deal, but if this game counted who takes the blame for this? Is the equipment manager or clubhouse attendant responsible for going to Cronenworth and saying before the game "glove looks a little rough there...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Yeah. I've given this doc a loooong rope and I'm mostly watching it uncritically, but I think Kraft has zero crredibility during this sequence. For Bob Kraft to say, "Well, Tommy was looking for Bill's approval in a father/son way, and it's not in BB's nature to give that" -- and to imply that...

    Is this an app? A UX tool? Help me be less dumb.

    Just a word of caution on the bolded: I don't know much about glitch.com, but be careful when using ChatGPT for work stuff. "Everybody's doing it," you say, and you're not wrong. But ChatGPT's licensing and IP stuff is weird (in my professional opinion). It would suck if suddenly ChatGPT...

    Hit the Road, Mac: Where will he be next season?

    I voted New England. To be clear: I don't want him to start for the Patriots. But I also don't understand how he has more trade value than Trey Lance. Given that, I think the right move for Mac is to stay in New England and try to establish his value in whatever role he earns.

    Is this an app? A UX tool? Help me be less dumb.

    Your company definitely does. If you have the questions and the weights, you can hand them to your internal tech team and get an estimate how how long/how much it would take to build. At the risk of being That Guy, you could probably give this to an intern/jr. worker and have them mock up a...

    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    I returned my Apple Vision Pro. The device has the most accessibility features that Apple has ever put in a 1st-gen product, but I couldn't make the device accessible for me. I'm admittedly an edge case. I have disconjugate vision. My eyes rarely look at the same thing simultaneously. My brain...

    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    Prescription inserts for Apple Vision Pro are $200. They're fantastic. They magnetically attach to the device. You don't notice them when you wear it, except your vision is clear. Get LASIK if you want it, but don't get LASIK to wear Apple Vision Pro. Face work shouldn't be too much of a...

    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    There's a lot I don't like about the Vision Pro. I'll have detailed thoughts at some point, but for those of you considering using this device as a portable workstation: that's the real deal. Using the Vision Pro and a keyboard/trackpad with this thing (or the built-in keyboard/trackpad on your...

    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    Christian Selig is an excellent app developer. His app Apollo was the best Reddit app. He built a YouTube app for VisionOS that will be a day-one purchase for me. https://christianselig.com/2024/02/introducing-juno/

    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    Ha! I thought of Minority Report and Iron Man, but yeah. This is good. I read somewhere that “Apple is a fentanyl dealer masquerading as a rehab clinic.“ People are isolated. Technology addiction is doing all kinds of V&N things. A face computer is unlikely to help.
