Diego Pavia probably deserves the Heisman. But I can’t stomach the idea of Vanderbilt having a Heisman winner and Tennessee… not

A Better CFP

It’s that time of the year again. How SHOULD the college football playoff look. It’s not all that dissimilar from the current playoff in structure. It’s just about how teams are selected and seeded. The TLDR is that all conference champs get in. The top 4 conference champs get byes. Admittedly it was a better format when we had a couple more high quality but smaller conferences.…

Great stuff from Om Malik. But I disagree with this… The smartphones didn’t kill the desktop or the notebook computer — it just took away its preeminence as a platform of technology’s future. The “AI” devices are going to do the same for the smartphone — not today, but eventually. These devices will do nothing to replace smartphones. The only interesting thing they’re doing is integrating AI into…

Even setting aside the argument that the reason Apple should maintain the App Store and SDKs because it DIRECTLY BENEFITS THEM. They get software people want which is why people buy iPhones and iPads. Is there anyone looking at what Apple has done with the App Store in 15 years thinking yes my 30% has been money well spent? STILL no upgrade pricing Terrible communication channels with customers…

feeling pretty good about my decision to watch the Emmy’s instead of the Eagles game. I laughed out loud when they announced Obi Wan Kenobi as an Emmy nominee.

Some good notes here from Rui Peres on meetings. Honestly I’d expand a little on points 3,4, and 5. Only invite whoever is necessary, make sure someone is taking notes, and share those notes with everyone. I’m not sure this isn’t what he means. But I would make sure meeting notes are available/shared with everyone outside the meeting. This makes it easier to be specific about who you invite while…

My favorite shows of 2022

Station Eleven Yes I know this is cheating. Since it debuted and mostly aired in 2021. And I definitely would have included it on my list in 2021. But I just loved it that much. I’ve watched it repeatedly this year. It took a solid book and elevated it in so many ways. I just want to spend more time with Jeevan and Kirsten. The Bear This show is just perfectly in by wheelhouse. Food porn…

My College Football Playoff

The college football regular season is over. Aside from Army-Navy. Man what is college football going to do when one of those teams is in playoff contention… anyways lets see what proper playoff would look like. Automatic Bids Conference Team AAC Tulane ACC Clemson Big 10 Michigan Big XII Kansas State CUSA UTSA MAC Toledo MWC Fresno State Pac 12 Utah SEC Georgia Sun Belt Troy At Large Bids…

Rece Davis going on his podcast and calling talk of Alabama getting in “internet absurdity” is WILD. Watch your network man. They’re talking about it all week.

The amount of content I shoved into my Evernote notebooks back in the day is obscene. Recipes. Scanned documents. Photos. Class notes. I imagine I’ll look back on my Craft notes in 10 years and wonder whether sticking all that in there was really necessary 😅

College Playoff | Week 11

Got an updated version of my college football playoff after this week’s games. Just a couple minor changes UCF’s win over Tulane puts them in the driver’s seat for the AAC USC benefits from Oregon’s loss and becomes my guess at the Pac-12’s automatic qualifier

It’s been fun seeing folks reflect on their internet lives as we watch Twitter burn. I loved this post from Becky Hansmeyer. This quote really captures how I feel. I simultaneously feel a sort of nervous optimism combined with a deep sense of loss

I thought it was neat how Ole Miss ran the ball very effectively in that last drive to get in scoring position… then threw the ball unsuccessfully on four straight plays #CollegeFootball

Y’all ever try to put toothpaste on a tooth brush while a child is holding it? I feel like I’m on Apollo 13 trying to dock with the LEM

There’s an incredibly simple solution to this , just let all of the conference champs in. Now every game is important. All the little guys have a very real chance.

The amount of “What if…” content generated by the early #collegefootball playoff rankings is absolutely exhausting.

We did it! 😳 pay no attention to the fact that 20% voted no on this…

College Football Playoff

Thought I’d toss out my desired college football playoff format and what it would look like this year. I’ve posted about it in previous years (forgive the broken images…) but the TLDR is… 12 teams Every conference champ gets an automatic spot 2 at large spots Top 4 conference champs get an automatic bye First 2 rounds are at the stadium of the better seeded team, final 4…

One of the fun things about kids is the way they say certain things wrong in a way you never want to correct. Because it’s either adorable or hilarious. Currently our girls have replace “hotel” with “ho’n tell”

It’s neat that my daughters daycare is closed for Election Day. Legitimately. But unfortunately it’s not a holiday from work for most of us. So it’s also a real pain in the ass

Ironically, Twitter could have gotten me to pay for access at just about any time in the past decade. But not now. Not anytime soon
