The Swamp

That huge fat dude is in Color Me Badd?

And they're from Oklahoma City? Learn something every day.

That's fantastic. What a great experience for him (and those kids).

Except that the gun folks will just say this is more proof that the world is super dangerous and we need more guns to protect us from all the guns.

Alas playoffs ended a couple weeks back for the White Sox. Successful season but youth sports is insanely competitive so it's really hard to win around here. Kid made me super proud though. Some dad with an expensive camera took some great shots and I wanted to show off the homemade mound. https://...

I drove in rain that turned into a massive hail storm today. Golf ball-sized hail just pounding off the roof of my car. Craziest thing I've ever driven in. Amazingly, I don't think it dented up my car, but it sure sounded like an army was taking a hammer to my car. I was worried that my windshield a...

Tanium makes software to monitor and manage a company's many computers. For example, it can easily find out how many of a company's thousands of computers have a particular patch installed. And it can be used to install that patch, or see if someone's been trying to hack in, etc. What's amazing is ...

The key differentiator among those is which ones became college assistants first and learned the college coaching game before becoming a head coach. I think that's critical. Coaching 18-21 year old college kids is WAY different than coaching pros. And as mentioned, recruiting is a huge part of the e...

I like the Juwan hire. Dude has built quite a reputation, both around the league and in the AAU realm. Important to keep Yaklich or another of the top assistants. That fact that Yak isn't already signed up with Texas is a very good sign. I hope it works out, but I can't understand a major program h...

Tanium has a pretty big office here in the Triangle (Morrisville). There are more devs here than in HQ in Emeryville, CA. I'll be a PM, not a dev, but I'll work closely with devs, so this is pretty convenient.

Looks like the retired life is almost over for me. I just accepted a job with Tanium. I start in a couple of Mondays. I'm not a big fish in a small pond anymore, but the Tanium pond is growing like crazy.

Could be in the Dusty thread.

Amazing. I'd seen that video recommended various places but had ignored it. Thanks for posting it. (I'm a wreck now)

The comments from this seemingly innocuous question are absolutely sobering.

Jesus. I had to stop after a few.

UVA just won their sixth lacrosse title. Pretty impressive recovery from a terrible slump the program found itself in just a few years ago. And their run to the title game was probably as filled with late comebacks as the basketball team's title. But not the title game itself - they pretty much domi...

I don't really have a dog in the fight, but I'm not sure I'll just concede that Toronto is more diverse - especially in regards to SE Asians - than the Bay area.

Maybe the universe just wants Dave to have blue jeans.

Grey jeans are for losers anyway.

In the book, Bran has visions of the future, but I don't think they're always clear or complete. And probably not set in stone either. He does have the ability to go back and see history, but again, he can't reasonably see everything . There's only so much time. I think he picks critical moments, li...

Not sure if anyone watches Documentary Now but if you like documentaries and satire, you should be. At the very least, watch the last two episodes of S1. Two parter about a band that had 1 great album then couldn't deal with it. Sort of a Behind The Music spoof, except these guys basically birthed ...

I think it's probably pushing it to say that Bran sees all. Yes, he CAN see a lot things - maybe not everything - but I think he's still subject to the constraints of time that the rest of us are. He isn't going to know every happening and every conversation and action of everyone in the story. It's...

Just watched it. Impressive! I thought you did great. You've got some good material to work with.

You should feel very good about that.

Ballsy, TT. Kick ass out there.

Yeah, I thought it was good as well. There's almost no way to end a story that epic and have it please everyone. Was it perfect? No. But it made sense (for the most part), which is not a trivial thing when you're talking about a story with that many characters and storylines. That said, a few gripes...

2) Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss Europa League final after injuring ankle And how did he get hurt? Playing in an exhibition game in Foxborough! Hope Chelsea was able to bank some money from this friendly match. There's a moral here about the price of greed. Awful injury for RLC who was really shapin...

Incredible story.

Except that it is, since the numbers aren't backwards.

I kinda want to post about what the media reaction would be if the Rockets lost by 22 to a Kevin Durant-less Warriors, but I won't.

But nobody thinks Portland is as good as Houston.

Also, I love Coby White in this draft. That’s my “I watched the tourney” projection.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he turns out to be a better pro than Morant. He's really good.

How many tries did wlu take to spell 'sovereign' closely enough for Bing to figure it out?

Kinda hoping that she and Gendry do the King and Queen co-ruling thing after Jon and Daenrys die in the finale... Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. I guess if Dany's claim of queen is accepted, then Gendry is legally the successor to Robert. Although, if Robert's line matters, I'm not sure tha...

BTW, the more I've thought about the episode, particularly Dany's burning of the city, the more I like it. So often in modern depictions of historical events (I know this is fiction, but stay with me), we sort of whitewash how awful wars and conquests really were. Cities are razed. Innocents are sla...

I did really want Jaime to find Cersei and kill her though. I hated that he went out like a bitch. If indeed he did go out. I mean, if the stab wounds didn't kill him, the castle that fell on top of him probably did. Fair point. He was on borrowed time already. I still just wanted him to kill Cerse...

Yeah, that sucks for Michigan and I guess college hoops in general. Beilein is arguably the best coach in the country - certainly in the top 5-10. I made one call upon learning that John Beilein had taken the Cleveland Cavaliers’ job, phoning a coach I knew would cut out the BS and get straight to ...

Just watched it and I liked it. I get folks not liking it, but I would think that's more for the awfulness of what happened - innocents getting burned, our protagonist turning evil, Cersei going out relatively benignly, Jaime turning back to Cersei instead of staying on his moral swing, etc. But all...

Yeah, that sucks for Michigan and I guess college hoops in general. Beilein is arguably the best coach in the country - certainly in the top 5-10.

that Snapchat filter everyone is using right now
I have no idea what filter Johnnie's talking about.
I have never used Snapchat.

Same, but I was pacing myself on the old-people-feeling. I do know what it is, but I've never used it.

They (the iron fleet)had more than one dragon bow. I thought that’s why he got hit so quickly and so often. How they all missed her on her kamikaze run is beyond me. Not too get too physicsy here, but the idea of huge, rapid shot, accurate crossbows on ships is just stupid. The recoil from launchin...
