Employee recognition and rewards platforms are a scam so they can give you 100 “points” instead of fair compensation and proper recognition. 100 points is worth literally one US dollar.
MLB to produce, distribute Padres games starting today
The shoe (guillotine?) has finally dropped on the exceedingly unstable relationship between the bankrupt Bally’s Sports/Sinclair Broadcast Group and Major League Baseball: MLB to produce, distribute Padres games starting today
As an MLB.tv subscriber and Braves fan, this whole Bally-hoo has of course had me generally interested in what will happen with all this. Pleasantly surprised (and interested in the legal/contractural details) that MLB was able to keep the Padres’ announcing crew for the new broadcasts. (via Six Colors)
Using Arc as dedicated separate video browser
Trying out Arc as a dedicated browser just for video. I tried Arc out a while ago and bounced off pretty quickly, but it has good picture-in-picture support and I like having that stuff separated. Putting it a different app and on a different monitor than my main browser keeps it out of the way and also makes app switching/window management cleaner. We’ll see how it goes.
LA Dodgers rainbow-washing
The Los Angeles Dodgers have disinvited a LGBTQIA+ group that they were going to HONOR with a COMMUNITY HERO AWARD from their PRIDE NIGHT because Catholics complained. Starting to think maybe just maybe the Dodgers might not actually care about LGBTQIA+ issues and they were just rainbow-washing if they bailed so quickly when bigots 2,000 miles away complained.
Braves at Rangers in Arlington
Braves in town versus Rangers. Chance to see Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr. in person.
Left the family at home. Much more reasonable to but good midweek tickets when you’re only buying one. Ha.
24 hours left
I am a little over 24 hours from being able to punt the client MacBook that is constantly a baffling and frustrating complete disaster to use into the FRIGGIN’ SEA.
(I am an approximately 6 hours from anything resembling a sea, the commute will be worth it.)
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is here
Ready and waiting. Now have to work and sit in meetings for next 8 hours while Zelda:TotK stares at me.
Obi-Wan Kenobi = John Smith?
So is the name “Kenobi” like Smith in their galaxy? Or is Luke just a dolt?
“Obi-Wan Kenobi so weird I know a guy named Ben Kenobi oh well this soup is good.”
TMNT Splintered Fate for Apple Arcade looks great
Great looking TMNT rogue-lite with multiplayer called TMNT Splintered Fate (“splintered”, get it get it?) hit Apple Arcade today (as well as some other good looking stuff) and it looks great. No clue if it’s actually any good but most of the Ninja Turtle stuff (games and otherwise) has been pretty high quality and so is a lot of Apple Arcade releases so fingers crossed. At the very least it’s not free to play.
Need to go find my 8BitDo controller and try it out on my iPad.
Work calls need 30 second skip
I just tried to double tap my iPad to skip 30 seconds forward on a work Zoom call if you’re wondering the status of my attention span right now.
