    Still got it

    Friday on Math and Musings I made a cryptic reference to “other things” I had going on this weekend besides the Kentucky Derby and Mother’s Day. I didn’t want to say too much in case it was a flop, but having … Continue reading →

    My hometown baseball team (that would be the Washington Nationals) had an odd mix of old and new yesterday: weekday afternoon game played… on the Internet. Yeah, broadcast live on YouTube, it was refreshing to see MLB embracing the new … Continue reading →

    Headline from one of my local rags, Loudoun Now, from its April 28, 2022, issue: “Requiring Affordable Units Has ‘Minimal Impact’ on Developer Profits: Consultant.” (O’Connell does spit-take.) Yeah, actually I’m not sure whether I should laugh or just #smh on … Continue reading →

    As always, I’ll take it

    I sometimes benefit unnecessarily from working for an extremely woke employer. I’m not at all religious, but I get a lot of religious holidays, including today’s. Still wondering? It’s Eid. Eid al-Fitr, or so they tell me, a Muslim holiday … Continue reading →

    NBA playoffs are never easy to predict

    Six weeks ago I said either the Nets or the Sixers would be heading to the NBA Finals (and Phoenix and Miami wouldn’t be). I still stand by these statements. (It’s gonna be Sixers-Warriors, by the way.) Great as my … Continue reading →

    Putting the show in Showtime

    On a previous episode of Math and Musings I suggested that no one on HBO’s Winning Time was being misrepresented in any unfair way (read:actionable), though I was sure it would come eventually. Yeah, I think that time has come. Sunday’s episode was pretty … Continue reading →

    It’s all about your “reaction”

    We’ve gone very quickly from staying in because it’s too cold to staying in because it’s too hot. Super. My son introduced me over the weekend during our time indoors to “reaction videos.” You familiar with these? Third degree television viewing that’s … Continue reading →

    New phrase for circumstances when calling something “a dick move” would be too coarse… Like intentionally walking a guy with 2,999 hits.  … Continue reading →

    Good thing I got out of Binghamton when I did. Seems as though as I was posting Monday morning the Bing was getting 14 inches of snow. Hmph. Oh, it’s not the 14 inches of snow at the end of … Continue reading →

    Back from the Bing

    Reply

    Over the weekend I found myself back in the old country, braving the snow and cold (seriously) in Binghamton, New York. As I’ve noted before, Binghamton is probably the worst place on Earth, but it’s also home to like six … Continue reading →
