As baseball season is getting underway and the WBC is in full swing, just wanted to reiterate this.

I'm going to be so happy once Wednesday arrives and the stupid political ads are over (at least for a few months). Just hoping there's no runoffs.

If you pay for a pro sports service (NBA League Pass, MLB TV, etc) and they sell the rights for a particular game or games to another streaming service, those games should still be included in your viewing package. I should not have to buy another service to watch games I've already paid to watch.

USA HOCKEY! 🏒 🥇

Remember when the Olympics were on all of the available NBC channels that you already paid for as part of your TV subscription and you didn't have to buy an entire extra service to watch anything? I remember. Screw Peacock. And screw you NBC for putting hockey on it.

Links within Teams should open with your default browser, not Edge. Fight me.

Biggest indicator that the Spurs are going to trade Jeremy Sochan (besides his miniscule minutes): the HEB commercial he's in has been edited so that he is no longer in the commercial.

Excited to watch my Spurs in the NBA Cup finals! Not excited to be forced to listen to Stan Van Gundy call another game.

Stan Van Gundy is a terrible color commentator. That is all.

The pork shoulder stall is legit. It's been stuck at 1 hour remaining to cook for an hour.

Google needs an "ai got it dead wrong" button for their news feed. This game won't be played until tonight.

There needs to be a 30 second time limit on NBA challenges.

Laleman's law of IT: The next email will be directly related to the application you just closed. Corollary: The network will go down while the director is out of office.

MLB needs to ban the in-game interview.

I don't know who's walking around on Amtrak without shoes on, but when they announced the dining car was open, it was literally the first thing dude said...you must be wearing shoes.

Say no to drugs and yes to tacos.

I hate all the dumb sounds they play at Yankee Stadium. Get an organ like a proper ballpark.

The two most frustrating things about working in IT are 1) when people give you little to no information (XYZ isn't working) and 2) when other IT support people ask you for information you've already given them. I'm looking at you Adobe.

My Pandora is trying to tell me to chill. Between problems at work and the state of the world, I needed this 5:20 reminder.

When it's IT professionals day and your network slows to a crawl for a couple of hours for unknown reasons, no one wishes you a happy anything. They just want to know why their Internet is so slow.

Seems like it's time, again, to remind everyone that the 1st amendment of the Constitution guarantees the right to freedom of speech. That means the government shouldn't be able to punish you for something you say. It DOES NOT guarantee you the right to employment.

Love the jersey Rizz is wearing today, signed by all the kids he visited in the hospital who were battling cancer. Also love that it's a pre-nike jersey. Wish I could be at this game today.

Ok, so ESPN is buying MLB.tv, but are they eliminating the stupid blackout rules? How about the BS where I have to pay for another service to watch some of the games (looking at you Peacock and AppleTV).

Health insurance went up 7.5%, paycheck only went up 3%. That's a pay cut folks.

How is it that MLB, with a 162 game schedule, can get next year's schedule out while the current season is in progress, but the NBA, with half as many games, can't get theirs out until 2 months before the season starts?

I think MLB has jumped the shark with this game at Bristol Motor Speedway. Field of Dreams makes sense. Negro league ballpark makes sense. Little league WS game makes sense. This doesn't make any sense. It's a terrible venue, and even mother nature doesn't want the game to happen.

I was watching the Ryno tribute tonight, and they showed a ticket stub from The Sandberg Game in June of 1984. A bleacher seat for that game was $3. Min wage in 1984 was $3.35/hr. Can you imagine working a min wage job and being able to go to a major league game for less than 1 hour of work?

The greatest second baseman the Cubs have ever had, and maybe the greatest in the game, now has season tickets to watch the Angels play. Rest in peace, Ryno

Dave Roberts pulling Freddy Freeman mid-inning so he can get a curtain call with the Atlanta fans is such a classy move. The MLB all-star game is the most real and most competitive among the four major league spots.

This picture from the water was taken with my back to the Cade Loop bridge in Ingram, TX when I went fishing up there at the beginning of June. The rod dot marks the spot of the photo in the satellite image taken after the July 4 flooding. Just devastating. My heart goes out to everyone up there.

What I did instead of going to #iste

I skipped #iste this year, even though it was in my hometown. Why? It was scheduled during the week of July 4, which is a week later than usual, and when my family usually takes a vacation. Also, it was $800 to register. No thanks.

I was today years old when I learned that a sac fly doesn't count as an at-bat, and therefore does not count against a player's batting average.

MLB needs to end their ridiculous blackout rules. I live 5 hours from Dallas, but can't watch the Cubs/Rangers game on the MLB TV app that I PAY MLB MONEY FOR.

I don't get the ed tech conferences that are now charging nearly $1000 to register. What economic landscape are they living in? Skipping ISTE this summer and it's IN MY HOMETOWN. No travel costs. And I'm in a dist that's growing! How are educators frm poor/shrinking dists supposed to afford them?

I can only imagine the conversation at Fox sports. "Super bowl is in New Orleans. Should we get Emeril for the food segment?" "Nah...get that foreign guy who yells at other chefs"

“Middle schoolers are why we can't have nice things" best quote I've heard at #tcea (Mindi Vandagriff, Anna ISD. Couldn't find her in blue sky to tag her)

First day of #tcea for me. Made the drive up from San Antonio this morning and already sitting in my first session with @joanneseale27.bsky.social

Society isn't going to be taken out by a foreign govt, we're going to do it to ourselves. Yesterday's major internet outage for San Antonio area school districts was a fiber cut by a construction crew on the Dallas path, and (I'm not making this up) a dude mowing over the fiber on the Houston path.

My 18 yo was taking a shower and playing music on her phone. Her playlist consisted of Bob Dylan, Jim Croce, James Taylor, John Lennon, and John Denver. Yep, that's my kid. ♥️

My three answers, all afternoon No, it's not anything on our end. Most of the districts in the area have the same issue. No, I don't have an ETA on when it will be fixed. No, we don't have spare hotspots laying around. www.ksat.com/news/local/2...

Murphy's law: the Internet outage will always occur during testing (in this case, semester exams).

I think the White Sox are far and away the most embarrassing, but the Bears, Blackhawks, and Bulls are all vying for second most embarrassing Chicago professional sports franchise this year. After tonight's performance, I'd say the Bears are pretty close to locking it up.

Over the last couple of months, my job has become more about chasing down compromised accounts and less about providing tools with which to educate students. I don't like it. It is not fun. And it feels a million miles away from that degree in elementary education I got 28 years ago.

For all of the talk about that other place's new name, when you export your data, the app notification still says this...

People, I have a very serious question. What do we call what we do here? Can we still call them tweets? Flutters? Skywriting? "Post" just seems so generic.
