In Houston for another soccer game, this time in the middle of a tornado/flood watch, I guess it’s safe enough to play? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@mathowie the game pictures in your email are up close! Could you pretty much go/sit anywhere after they finally got started?

@hotdogsladies was trying NOT to be "zoom in" guy, but will admit to being "wait, is that a salad??" guy

Today I wrote a post about my daughter, and I think it’s one of the good ones. https://a.wholelottanothing.org/may-2nd/

@mathowie it is a really good one.
(And coincidentally, my son will be a junior at UP next year. It’s been a great experience for him - he gets back from his semester in Salzburg next week)

@mathowie I may be one of the 8 that'd be interested :)

Ambitious to try to finish by end of the summer! But think it's a fun project regardless!

My total stadium list at this point is just Providence Park (multiple), Lumen(2), and one match at the hopefully never to be experienced again Segra field (game was fun, I just know players HATE it).

This week the Portland Thorns finally got rid of their old coach and made the assistant coach Rob Gale the new interim head.

I bet the Thorns social media manager goes into work every day pleading with Rob to put on a black t-shirt and read the following lines while they film it for TikTok:

“Doesn’t seem to matter what I do,
I’m always coach number two,
No one knows how hard I try…”

@mathowie agree the change to Gale may not be enough. Hoping it does something though... they need a spark of some kind.

Actually going to the match on Saturday. Should be interesting to see the team dynamic in person.

Release Radar!

This is from a period where Roderick had songs that might change in pretty interesting ways between conception and release.

And I love each of the (maybe three?) versions of this one I’ve heard.

@pomCountyIrregs @hotdogsladies song.link??? (covers a lot of bases... though I'm sure it doesn't have somebody's favorite, and you'll still hear about it) https://song.link/i/1727782557

Please fund my startup Superflat. It’s got one feature: no Nazis. Nothing else. There's not even a website.

@glennf back in the late 90s I wanted to start a company whose business plan was just to lose less $ than Amazon did. Probably should have pursued that further :)

✨ It’s true. I’ve been working on this blog post for ten years.

You see, I’ve been slowly buying up nearly seventy super rare issues of a 80s/90s gadget catalog that meant the world to me growing up. And in the process, I’ve uncovered the secret history of this lost copywriting art.

PLUS, as a bonus, I’ve scanned every single issue — so you can read them all.

I hope you enjoy: https://cabel.com/2023/11/06/dak-and-the-golden-age-of-gadget-catalogs/
