As someone more eloquent on YouTube said, "I didn't think good news existed anymore."

A program from the 30th anniversary of The Food Depot's Souper Bowl.

Lots of people (hundreds?) in the Santa Fe Convention Center. They're sampling soups from dozens of restaurants and marking ballots to vote for their favorites.

Attended the 30th Souper Bowl here in Santa Fe today. No idea how many people (many many) giving to charity to help with food insecurity and trying amazing soups from local restaurants. So many lovely people everywhere and hopefully a lot of money raised for a good cause.

Last week we learned that Ollie cannot play in the NFL but since then we’ve learned that he is considered too old at three to participate in the Puppy Bowl either. On top of that the Puppy Bowl has already been recorded!!! Scandal! I’m not even sure we can trust the score of dog football at all.

We have been informed that despite what you may have learned from Air Bud, the NFL does actually have rules that prevent dogs from playing football. Also, it does not appear that the Seahawks need an adorable Spaniel to beat San Francisco.

Me in a number 12 Seahawks jersey and my dog in a 00 jersey behind me on the couch.

Just in case the Seahawks need a really adorable Spaniel on the field tonight. We’re ready.

Glad you’re enjoying the games, but Pluto TV is Paramount Skydance, which is why I uninstalled it months ago.

"No one would dare oppose us if we annex the Sudetenland. We will do as we want."

Until of course, fearless leader and his propaganda minister both end up shooting themselves in the head when their failure is inescapable.

Now, I'm not goofy. I went and tried my hand at bookbinding to make a custom book from some pages. No one is going to do that but me. But what if you could get a PDF out and send it to Blurb or Lulu to get something cool and custom? Or if I do it for you and just dropship you your custom planner?

But it wasn't capable of doing that kind of formatting and needed a complete overhaul to even attempt that. Plus all of the paper creation, etc. But I've done a lot of that overhaul. Right now it's just capable of putting multiple pages within a single print page, but there's more to come.

I came back to it again a few years ago and rewrote it to use SVG for everything and the paper quality got better, but it still wasn't what I really wanted. I would love to have an engine capable of printing an entire planner like you would buy from Hobonichi, Midori, TRAVELER'S COMPANY, etc.

Years ago, I wanted to print some paper out but did not like all of the "download this wonky PDF" solutions I found. Many printed poorly and supported one or two papers at most. So I created PaperQuik.com to give people a way to make many variations on a few papers.

About 50 more games played this year. Part of that was light games like Flip 7, Castle Combo, and Agent Avenue on BoardGameArena.com

I think we should retcon this to be the start of Space: 1999 (which probably always should have been a comedy anyway).

I wanted to start small on an emulator so I bought what was well reviewed, handled consoles/handhelds up through the PS1/Gameboy Advance era, cost approx $50, and I could get shipped from a US warehouse so I wasn't going to have surprise tariffs. The Anbernic RG35XX H hit all of those bullet points.

After that I just played games online on BoardGameArena and in person (I have some good solo games), plus a little Super Mario World too.

Extra Life | Change Kids' Health, Change the Future I'm raising funds with #EXTRALIFE for kids treated at my Children's Miracle Network Hospitals! I need your help to reach my fundraising goal. Please donate today to change kids' health.

I stayed up for 24 hours Sat into Sun to raise money for non-profit children's hospitals. It's called Extra Life and so far I've raised $1138. If you'd like to give too, just click here: www.extra-life.org/participants...

Many people know that if you mix ammonia and chlorine bleach it forms a deadly gas. But not everybody knows that if you make a sandwich and use both mayo and Miracle Whip, the same thing happens.

Just finished Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman and it's an antidote to a lifetime spent on Getting Things Done and an endless cycle of trying to do *waves hand* everything.

Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up 78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

I work all day every day in AI. I like it, it's interesting, and we're working to build something that will do something helpful.

However, I am 100% realistic about how good AI really is and so is this truly excellent article about AI + coding: mikelovesrobots.substack.com/p/wheres-the...

Extrajudicial execution of alleged drug traffickers, invasion of Chicago, moving a Space Force that doesn't do shit to another state. All important stuff that points to why we must release all of the Epstein files.

The huge head the size of Zozobra sits behind Rockelle and me in this photo. He's made of cloth and wood, painted to be scary.

Zozobra burns tonight! This is him a week ago and tonight he's all set up with his body attached in in Santa Fe ready for his big moment later tonight! #zozobra #oldmangloom

"Gentlemen prefer blondes" : The illuminating diary of a professional lady by Loos Free kindle book and epub digitized and proofread by volunteers.

Um. It’s great that someone “reissued” this public domain novel but let’s just encourage people to go download it for free instead: www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/66829

I only watch movies like this with a host and two robots making fun of it from the front row.

Mockup of a new MadGamesLab Home page. It features a "bento box" style with rounded corners and two cards for the two games currently on the site ("Poker Square" and "Poker Square Nx3").

I hate how ugly the existing MadGamesLab.com site is, so I'm working on a new design that I'm hoping won't make your eyes bleed. Hint: The new design would be something like this mockup.

Banning "White Fragility" is like chef's kiss for a complete lack of self awareness.

A completed game of Poker Square Nx3 on a phone. Scores are achieved for each row and column in the 5x5 grid of playing cards.

A few years ago I created a daily puzzle/game over at MadGamesLab.com and today I've added a new version I call Poker Square Nx3 (madgameslab.com/psnx3). I hope you enjoy it.

JPMorgan Internal Memo Shows Morale Took a Hit on Return to Office The results of JPMorgan Chase’s latest internal opinion survey showed fewer employees than last year say they view their health and well-being as a corporate priority.

Vibe management is absolutely just as effective as vibe coding.

Mark My Words: Very few foreigners will fly into, stay in, or attend matches in the US during World Cup 2026

I don't know if you'll see empty seats, but actual non-native attendees in the stadiums will be a fraction of what they are in Mexico or Canada.

Always appreciate ratings from people who have never played a game and never will. They contribute so much to BGG.
