I admire John Gruber. I think he’s a great writer. I think he’s smart as hell. He’s annoyingly funny, too. I am impressed and inspired by his success with both Daring Fireball and The Talk Show. I get excited when John links to one of my apps or articles.…

There’s a Dalmatian joke in there somewhere.
Sure says something that it's going to take five different lawyers to replace Pam Bondi. They are Pam Blueberry, Pam Strawberry, Pam Tangerine, Pam Grape, and Pam Lime.

The three dots for outs thing is maddening. For years I’ve been complaining about this to some friends at my RSN that does Phillies games. It’s NOT simply a design choice to use two dots to represent three of something any more than it is to intentionally misspell someone’s name. Help me understand.
Joining @tvaziri.com in questioning new baseball scorebugs... NESN fails the "three dots for outs" test, but even worse... how many baserunners are on here? It looks to me like the bases are empty, but no, the bases are loaded.

@snell.zone Listening to Downstream. You can watch multicam in replay on the F1TV app, which is free with your AppleTV subscription. Many more features there for tech fans. They also carried preseason testing from Bahrain which the AppleTV app did not. That was also free with your AppleTV sub.

These guys gotta stop with the lip mics. There’s no reason to use these things anymore. Plenty of headset options that keep the mic in place and free up your hands. And with headphones you can totally hear the plosives and close proximity to the mic. It’s time to move on. This isn’t 1950.

I switched from T-Mobile to Visible Wireless – a prepaid mobile service that is owned by Verizon and uses the Verizon network. After two months, I can report that the Verizon network in the Philadelphia area (where I live and work) is far slower with far worse coverage than
T-Mobile. Disappointing.

It’s a waste of time to spend any energy fighting the Thursday night NFL game. It’s not going away. Ever. And I have heard several players say that they like playing on Thursday night.

I was saddened to hear that New York Jets legend Nick Mangold died this past weekend of kidney disease. I had the pleasure of working alongside Nick a couple of times for TV projects and he was very kind and gracious. I know he had children and that’s the worst part of his passing at just 41. RIP

And if he’s doesn’t take ANY job, they would be paying 100% of the remainder of his contract. It’s not a “buyout.” It’s what he’s owed on his contract. That said, he needed to go.
A media gig for James Franklin would pay much less than another coaching job, meaning Penn State would be paying a lot more of his buyout.
James Franklin could stick it to Penn State by taking a media job
Former Penn State head coach James Franklin could stick it to the school by deciding to take a media job instead of going back into coaching.
