#DCU was busy today in the #MLS Superdraft. @blazindw.bsky.social recaps each of the picks for the Black-and-Red, led by #1 overall pick Nikola Markovic. thedistrictpress.com/2025/12/18/1...

A lot of draft picks and two top 10 picks for DC United. The Superdraft isn't where it used to be in terms of importance but still good to fill out a roster of solid players with higher picks. Gotta go read up on these guys now. #fediFC #dcu #mls

(1/2) Facebook deletion request is finished. It's bittersweet honestly. I remember the early days in HS and college, that's how I kept in touch with everyone. That was the era where you actually saw posts from your friends and stayed up to date with everything. But that era ended long ago.

Just finished Fallout S2E1. I cannot overstate how much thought went into this and the feeling the show gives going to New Vegas. They're really bringing the game alive. #fallout

DC United teasing a signing on their socials and I'm already brought back in like the sucker I am 😂 Alrighty well let's go, fill those DP slots up y'all! #dcu #MLS

Dabbling around after class 12 of #100Devs and made a fun Pokemon picker that I will probably turn into a full Pokédex. I’d just have to readjust the page layout and add 146 more Pokemon images, then probably make a dropdown input to select your desired pokemon. kyaaron.github.io/Pokemon-Imag...

Well done to Amazon for getting Fallout season 2 out pretty fast (comparatively). I don't feel like season 1 was that long ago, and I'm excited for season 2 and new vegas!

This looks cool

With 2025 coming to a close, I'm going to do a short series of year-in-review posts to look back on 2025 and what I hope to accomplish in 2026. First up (borrowing from the really awesome @cassidoo.co), podcasts I listened to in 2025! medium.com/@amccollum.d...

The hard truth of the regime we currently have is they received a roster in 2020 who was one of the youngest in the league and won a playoff game on the road… 5 years later have turned it into two 3-14 (probably 3-14 finish this year) seasons in a row. And a deep hole to dig out. #Browns

Woke up, saw the Browns score, grabbed the Advil. #browns

Really enjoyed this LTT (fake Linus haha) video with Linus Torvalds. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfv0...

Absolutely loved the Python documentary by Cult Repo. Highly recommend watching! youtu.be/GfH4QL4VqJ0?...

I had a great time at the @dev-korea.com event last night. Their meetups have been really fun, and it's been nice to meet and make some new friends in a new place!

Class 10 of #100Devs commencing now, lets go

Seeing the rumblings of Vancouver Whitecaps being relocated. Every time it happens its such a blight on the league. I have more confidence that Leeds United will be around in 100 years than ANY MLS franchise will be around in 10. #mls

Packers fans finding out the best pass rushers are held every play and it's never called.

Yep. That's definitely a "lose your job" worthy loss. I was patient with this coaching staff, I'm glad Haslam has given them time to fix stuff, but enough is enough. #Browns

Much better from Sanders in the first half. #Browns

Crazy world we live in when Indiana and Duke are winning football conference championships.

Google Lighthouse tool is incredibly useful in Chromium-based browsers. I just did a lighthouse review of the Level Ground site I made yesterday and it pointed out several things I overlooked initially but I can fix to help improve accessibility. Adding that to the to-do list for that repo. #100Devs

This is absolutely wild

The past few weeks I've made several layouts in HTML and CSS for #100Devs. Below are some things I've noted and learned along the way. medium.com/@amccollum.d...

I’d be pretty upset if the NWSL essentially forces the Spirit to give up Rodman and have her go to another NWSL team just to keep her in the league. It seems she and the spirit have come to an agreement. Tired of single entity leagues with poverty salary caps. www.espn.com/soccer/story... #nwsl

91% of respondents say the ownership is the problem at DC United. 60% said this was the worst season ever for DC United. A good argument can be made for that for sure. The unfortunate reality is that nobody can do anything about it. #dcu #mls

At @dev-korea.com, Serin and I remain committed to building a fair, transparent tech market in Korea, which is why we continue to publish Dev Korea's revenue every month. 💰 November 2025 revenue: $621 (up from $384 in September) #devkorea #buildinpublic #revenue

Spotify wrapped: My music age is 60 and I listen to better music than you. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just passing it along.

🤩 WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!

Leeds with a massive three points today #lufc

If you have a life change or goal you’re planning to attack in the new year, just go head and do it now lol

Maryland commuting is listed as the 2nd worst in the nation. But sure, let's continue to force everyone into the office 5 days a week. 🥴

I've been using the branching commands more in git lately and wrote about it, mainly for myself for when I forget one of them haha! #100Devs #git medium.com/@amccollum.d...

Wishing the best to Benteke. I thought he'd stay in DC a bit longer if he thought we'd get some better players around him. But he's not a DP anymore. The team has A LOT of work to do on this roster for sure. #mls #dcu #fedifc

Nothing is safe from enshittification

Mark Stoops is out at Kentucky. He'll leave as the best UK football coach in the modern era, but it was time for a change. #bbn

CSS Floats - much like trying to drive a stick when all you've ever done is drive automatic. #100Devs

All I want is for the final to go to penalties and both Müller and Messi to miss, then some guy who still has student loans to win MLS Cup

Finishing up with class 8 of #100Devs. It's been great review for HTML and CSS for me, but I think it's been very helpful in how to use them better with a focus on getting the layout right first. Learning CSS floats has been nice, glad there are better ways for layouts now.

Watching Independence Day. Greatest homework assignment ever. #100Devs

First it was GPU prices being overinflated because of crypto mining and scalpers, and now RAM of all things is ballooning in price, all for AI. What a shame.

Only proving what we've known for a long time. Heck back in 2018 or 2019, something like 19 of the top 20 Christian facebook groups were run from troll farms in Russia or Belarus. They've been doing this for a long time, frankly because it's super easy on X and people are gullible.

Kentucky getting taken to the woodshed today 😭 #bbn

I cannot believe two things: 1. The Bills converted on 4th and 27, and 2. The Texans gave THAT up. What a play by the Bills. Still gotta get the TD though.

Been off Twitter for roughly three years this month. I thought I'd have FOMO. But now pretty much all the accounts I followed there have migrated here and/or Mastodon. Doesn't sound like there's much there I'm missing anyways.

New blog post just dropped. I'm floating into week three of #100Devs and floating CSS elements at the same time. medium.com/@amccollum.d...

Wishing Eugen the best. He created a really cool microblogging site and the ActivityPub protocol/fediverse is awesome.

Trying out Medium for future blog posts. I like the layout much better than the Blogger site I was using. I don't plan to paywall anything either, if you're interested in my writing I want you to be able to read it. medium.com/@amccollum.d...

And here. we. go. #Browns

Just finished "Learning How to Learn" on Coursera. It was pretty fascinating to learn more about how the brain processes new information and how to learn more efficiently.
