• 🚇 My partner and I drove to Montreal on New Year’s to spend some time with our friends there. It’s always nice to get on the metro, check out some stations, and walk around downtown Montreal. It was very cold (-20°C), so being able to walk through Montreal’s underground city was very welcome!
• 🐧 My #linux Journey is going well. It was actually easier than I thought to make the switch to Ubuntu. A consequence of this change is also moving away from Microsoft and Google services for my personal digital life. So far, pCloud and Fastmail have been working well for my needs. I’m testing Fastmail’s calendar, which seems good enough, and I like that I can sync it with GNOME Calendar.
• 🗓️ I started using a mini Happy Planner which I find is the perfect size for me. It’s much more portable, so it’s easier to have it with me. I don’t use it to track hourly appointments; instead, I use it for weekly/monthly planning and logging cool things.
• ⛸️ I'm back on my ice skating classes! I was so happy that in the first class this weekend, I was able to remember how to do cross-overs in both directions. I mean, I wasn’t as afraid anymore to actually lift my feet and cross over! I used to have a terrible mental block with this movement. So, I think the muscle memory is there, I just need to work more on it now (I can’t do them in sequence yet; I only do one at a time, slowly). It also looks like there will be lots of backward skating practice this time around.
• 🌊 I took some time to do my Yearly Review and set some intentions for 2026. The overall theme for me will be continuing the good things that I established last year. I chose the word FLOW for 2026: trusting my routines & tools, creating less friction, focusing on what brings me joy, and being open, relaxed, and grounded.
• 🏠 We completed another maintenance project in our house: upgrading our attic insulation to R-60. We hired a contractor to do blown-in cellulose insulation, adding to the existing Rockwool batt insulation we installed there when we moved in. One more house task checked off the list.
• 🎿 I was supposed to start classic ski lessons this past weekend, but because of the weather (it warmed up to +7C and rained) the trails were closed. The entire three-day weekend class was cancelled, and the only option offered was to enroll in evening classes instead. So, starting tomorrow, I'll have ski classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the end of the month! I'm very excited because I've never done this before and I want to build a solid foundation before hitting the trails on my own. It's gonna be tough, since the classes start at 8pm, and will disrupt my bedtime a bit, but it's only for two weeks, so I think I’ll survive.
• 📖 I started reading Persepolis Rising by James S.A. Corey (Book 7 of The Expanse series). I'm loving it! I forgot how much I LOVE this series! I keep finding excuses to stop what I'm doing just to read. And it's even more fun because we are doing an online book club. Thanks, Joel, for inviting me!
• 🎮 I want to get back to playing video games this year. I barely played anything after last summer. So I made a list of games I want to continue or start in 2026: Stardew Valley, Pillars of Eternity, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Citizen Sleeper, Trine 4 and Temple of Elemental Evil (the Steam updated edition!)

📌 Cool online reads:

• Gaming Recap 2025 by Joel: Wow, this is an impressive log! It has stats, finished/started/completed/in progress games divided by platform and even purchase costs.
• The Case for Blogging in the Ruins by Joan Westenberg: Great discussion on the importance of reclaiming our own spaces by writing blogs. I loved that it starts with Diderot’s Encyclopédie.
• Thinking about email workflows | Brain Baking : I like this approach to processing email inboxes.
• Why You Need A Stack of Thinkpads by R.L. Dane: Hey, I got one already! (but not the old ones...) But mine will be old someday!
• Winnie Lim » may 2026 be a boring year: Yeah, boring is underrated.

#weeknotes

I really wanted to write about pineapple and pineapples.

For my thirtieth birthday, we took a cruise ship. I was wearing my yellow polo shirt and drank Piña Colada — my favourite drink — through a straw.

With me were some of my favourite people,

my family.

Some of them,

they hurt me.

I am not yet able to tell the tale plainly.

I don’t understand enough.

It’s not the type of thing that has a clear timeline. Rather, it’s exactly like they were the pineapple in my fruit salad and I was (in this analogy) allergic.

It might have developed suddenly or over time, as these things do. At some point, I kept eating — the same way I always had. It left me with (metaphorical) blisters on my tongue, without me knowing why they were there.

Some time during the following years, I concluded that my tongue was supposed to be swollen. Like that was just the way of things.

Until I stopped thinking there was anything wrong with it to begin with. Even as it kept growing, were someone to ask what was up with my tongue, I wouldn’t have even understood the question.

Finally, the pineapple was too much — the allergy so intense that it almost suffocated me. I stood there in front of the mirror, having reached some final threshold, and realised:

• It’s not supposed to hurt like this to speak.

• Breathing shouldn’t be this hard.

• Most people don’t have tongues this swollen, with blisters all over them.

When it dawned on me that it was all from the pineapple — which I love so much — something broke inside of me.

It hurts.

Even though I know there are other fruits you could put in there instead, like oranges — small representations of the sun — it’s never going to be the same.

And physalis.

I am not sure whether I will ever be able to eat pineapple again. Realistically, I could probably eat it once a year. But is it worth it?

(It’s not)

It has indeed been awhile since I posted on here. Entries on here will be a little more sporadic over the next few months as this is my busy time of year for my actual job. I know I'm a little late to the party here but I want to wish everyone a happy new year!

Sportsbooks, media rights, and leagues themselves have created a triangle of sorts over the past few years. We have sportsbooks who have their names on networks, we have leagues who have deals with sportsbooks, and of course we have the media rights deals leagues have with the networks and apps. While this makes a whole bunch of money for the stakeholders of all those parties (some of which have massive conflicts of interests), it's the fans who lose out. First though, I want to discuss what is going on with Main Street Sports, the operator of the FanDuel RSNs.

Main Street Sports, the company that operates what are now known as FanDuel Sports Networks, is in dire straits and if they do not get bought out soon, they will go bankrupt. The Major League Baseball Teams who had media rights deals with FanDuel RSNs opted out of their broadcast deals to paint a picture of how bad the situation is. This does not affect the nationwide FanDuel TV, which used to be TVG, that is a whole separate entity which I will get into in a bit. First, RSNs (Regional Sports Networks) are mostly dying out as the media landscape is changing. Companies like Main Street Sports and others who solely operate RSNs are feeling the pinch of lower advertising revenue along with higher costs for the broadcast rights of the teams that they air. This dynamic is why RSNs would not be a viable way for the proposed Brand New Shield to distribute its media rights. Second, the FanDuel Branding I believe hurt the RSNs just like the Bally's Branding before it because of the fact those brands were built on gambling. It was different when they were Prime Sports Networks or Fox Sports Networks or NBC Sports Networks (a few of the NBC Sports Networks are still around). The naming rights deals with the Sportsbooks to me were one of the gravest mistakes the RSNs made which is why a company like Main Street Sports is in such a bad predicament. Many people do not associate premier sports television coverage with sports betting, and quite frankly they never will.

Now there is also the national FanDuel TV which used to be TVG (which was primarily a horse racing channel). FanDuel TV has turned into more of a sports talk/sports betting channel with personalities like Kay Adams and such leading the way on their programming. They also have a deal with the Indoor Football League to air games including the championship game. While this could be great for the IFL, it comes at a costs in terms of league image and integrity. As I've mentioned before, I don't believe FanDuel TV would offer such a deal unless they could get betting revenue from it. The IFL just doesn't have the footprint for FanDuel to offer such a deal without such a benefit for FanDuel involved. While the IFL will undoubtedly get more exposure and the opportunity to grow the fan base, they will also face similar questions like the NFL does in terms of its relationship with FanDuel. Is there a script? Are games rigged? Establishing such a relationship creates these questions regardless if there's any foul play involved or not.

I'd still like to think that integrity still matters at an organizational level in Sport Management. That is why I ask these questions and post about these types of relationships on here so that if/when the opportunity to do better comes along, we do better when that opportunity arises. The gambling and media rights landscapes for sports are ever-changing and maybe, just maybe, there's a chance to change them for the better.

Immediately after the death of Charlie Kirk, many on the political left celebrated and mocked his death as getting what he deserved, while many on the right called for retribution in the form of violence. There were not calls from either side to stand down. There was not even agreement that his assassination was a tragedy worthy of lament and mourning. People on both sides of the political spectrum were stoking the sparks of dissent into anger.

Immediately after the death of Renee Good, many on the political right celebrated and mocked her death as getting what she deserved, while many on the left called for retribution in the form of violence. There were not calls from either side to stand down. There was not even agreement on what just happened. People on both sides of the political spectrum were fanning the flames of anger into rage.

Clearly, this event is BY NO MEANS THE MORAL EQUIVALENT of Charlie Kirk's assassination. It is potentially far worse. It is potentially far less serious. If it turns out that Good was gunned down by an overzealous law enforcement agent of the state, it is far worse than Kirk's assassination by a private citizen. It if turns out that the use of deadly force against Good was justified by law enforcement, her death is still tragic, but it is nowhere near morally comparable to Kirk's.

Here's the thing...we do NOT know which one of the above evaluations is correct. That judgment does not come in an instant from social media, talking heads on cable news, or politicians. That judgment comes as the result of a deliberate, impartial investigation by individuals qualified to do it. So far, that has not happened.

Here's what we do know...both sides of the political spectrum have abdicated their moral authority by cheering either death and should be soundly rebuked. Both sides are wrong to celebrate the death of either of these individuals, regardless of motivation. Both sides are being irresponsible and are part of the ever-growing cancer of division that has metastasized through these United States. Though there are clearly times when violence is necessary and right, anyone celebrating and glorifying death (regardless of cause) is acting as a lackey of Satan, willingly or unwillingly, and is directly contributing to the destruction and collapse of our nation.

It is time to stand down. It is time to mourn the destruction of lives, the destruction of the ability to debate and disagree, the destruction of civility, and the inevitable destruction of our nation that will come as a result of the normalization and celebration of political violence. Stand down. Everyone.

Better yet, time to fall down on our knees and pray...that is the only way out.

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Why I Can't Stop Thinking About Iran Right Now

I usually talk about other things here, but I feel like I have to speak up about what’s happening in Iran. To me, it’s the most important story in the world right now.

Over the last week, we’ve seen tens of thousands of Iranians take to the streets to stand up against a regime that has been brutally repressing them since 1979. It’s not just about politics, though; it’s about survival. The economy there is basically in a freefall. To give you an idea of how bad it is, one U.S. dollar is now worth 1.47 million rials. The currency lost 80% of its value in just one year. People can’t afford food, and they’re dealing with constant power outages and water rationing.

What makes it even more infuriating is the hypocrisy. You have a government that brutalizes young girls for how they wear a hijab, while the families of those same officials are all over social media flaunting their wealth and “living it up.” The corruption is everywhere.

On the global stage, we know Iran is the main sponsor behind groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. They were the only major country to actually celebrate the October 7th attacks. It reminded me of Masih Alinejad, a dissident living in New York. The regime didn't just arrest her family back home to silence her; they actually sent assassins to her house in Brooklyn. It’s a miracle she’s still alive.

There’s really no other word for this leadership than evil.

Despite the government’s “savage” response—shooting protesters, making thousands of arrests, and cutting off the internet—the people are still marching. Every hour feels like history in the making. Seeing the courage of everyday Iranians, young and old, is honestly inspiring. They are literally risking everything for a chance at a normal life. It feels like this time, things might actually change.

But the reality is, they probably can’t do it alone. We’ve already seen the U.S. take action with the strikes on nuclear facilities six months ago, and there’s been a clear warning that there will be consequences for killing protesters.

In my opinion, the world—and especially the U.S.—would be so much better off if this regime fell. This is a once-in-a-generation moment to support people who are fighting for the same freedoms we often take for granted.

I really hope we don't let this opportunity pass.

If America stands for anything, it should be moments like this.

I felt happy today:

After lunch and numerous long meetings, I made a fresh cup of hot coffee, put some 2Pac on, and started refactoring some unit tests. It’s like sudoku, but I can have my mind wandering or else focus deeply — up to me.

And 2Pac sings about shooting some other gangsters while I drink my coffee and look out through the window at the dark evening sky, and the snow.

The clock isn’t even that much, it all feels absurd.

Why this short moment filled me so with joy, I cannot explain.

It’s not like I don’t have anything to worry about

Who doesn’t?

Each day, I make a sincere effort to journal using two distinct pages. One is a weekly page that allows me to track daily and weekly habits on one side and to reflectively plan for the week on the reverse. The other is dated blank page that provides space for writing down memories, thoughts, feelings, experiences, and initial interpretations of my day. I say initial, because even through the lens of contemplative examination, I want to hold open the possibility that a more nuanced and anchored understanding of the experience might emerge through my ongoing practice and meditation.

When I write, aside from brief corrections when I misfire with my pen, I don’t edit while I’m reflecting. I simply let whatever flows from the pen land on the page and trust that what I have added is essential in some way, and that what I have already forgotten is not something I should worry about.

This is less about making sense of what I have experienced than it is about documenting my experience and providing mile markers that I can use to ponder later, though not forever as rumination is not the same thing as meditation. In fact, I have made a practice of looking over things within the quarter in which I write them, and then I recycle the removable pages from my journal like the temporary art of a sand mandala. Each new quarter brings a chance to be present with what is happening now while gently setting down the work of what has gone before. In my experience, that which is going to resurface over time, simply will if I give space in the silence.

I really enjoy the analog experience of writing with pen and paper, and while I try not to accumulate endless journals or notebooks, I do keep my daily pages separate from my planner, my poetry/prayer journal, and my meeting notes. I prefer the focus that comes with having fewer purposes in one set of pages, though you may want to experiment with the system that works best for you.

Practice:

Here are some tips for beginning your own daily pages journal.

• Decide how many purposes this journal will have, fewer total uses might allow for greater focus.
• Blank pages or bullet pages offer the greatest flexibility for laying out a single day
• You may want to find inserts or a page layout for a habit tracker/weekly look ahead to remind you of your intentions for the week
• Don’t edit or revise while writing. Your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and initial impressions are worthy in their own right.
• Make a plan for what to do with your journal when it is full? Will you save it? For how long? How can you hold these first impressions loosely and allow the Spirit to continue its work in you?
• Don’t panic if you miss a page. There’s a really good chance that you chose the most necessary thing instead. Return to the practice as soon as you can, and with grace and gentleness.

Poem by Frank O'Hara

I am not a painter, I am a poet. Why? I think I would rather be a painter, but I am not. Well,

for instance, Mike Goldberg is starting a painting. I drop in. “Sit down and have a drink” he says. I drink; we drink. I look up. “You have SARDINES in it.” “Yes, it needed something there.” “Oh.” I go and the days go by and I drop in again. The painting is going on, and I go, and the days go by. I drop in. The painting is finished. “Where's SARDINES?” All that's left is just letters, “It was too much,” Mike says.

But me? One day I am thinking of a color: orange. I write a line about orange. Pretty soon it is a whole page of words, not lines. Then another page. There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how terrible orange is and life. Days go by. It is even in prose, I am a real poet. My poem is finished and I haven't mentioned orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call it ORANGES. And one day in a gallery I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES.

Lately, I've been doing a lot of distro hopping: openSUSE, Debian, openSUSE, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, and Debian again.

At least it's relatively limited. But Arch and nixOS also keep tempting me.

However, I believe that I need to get to know one distro really well. So in 2026, I will only use Debian Stable on my two main computers (PC and laptop).

No more distro hopping until 2027.

Of course, anything goes on my hobby Thinkpad. So that you can check up on me, the header of this page counts (Javascript must be enabled).

NARRATOR:

A pronouncement against the wilderness of the sea
It is coming like storm winds that sweep through in the south, From the wilderness, from a fearsome land.

A harsh vision has been told to me: The treacherous one is acting treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I will put an end to all the sighing she caused.

That is why I am in great anguish. Convulsions have seized me, Like those of a woman giving birth. I am too distressed to hear; I am too disturbed to see.

My heart falters; I shudder in terror. The twilight I longed for makes me tremble.

“Set the table and arrange the seats! Eat and drink! Get up, you princes, anoint the shield!”

JEHOVAH:

Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

NARRATOR:

And he saw a war chariot with a team of horses, A war chariot of donkeys, A war chariot of camels. He watched carefully, with great attentiveness.

WATCHMAN:

Upon the watchtower, O Jehovah, I am standing constantly by day, And I am stationed at my guardpost every night. Look at what is coming: Men in a war chariot with a team of horses!

“She has fallen! Babylon has fallen! All the graven images of her gods he has shattered to the ground!”

NARRATOR:

O my people who have been threshed, The product of my threshing floor, I have reported to you what I have heard from Jehovah of armies, the God of Israel.

A pronouncement against Dumah: Someone is calling out to me from Seir: “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”

WATCHMAN:

The morning is coming, and also the night. If you would inquire, inquire. Come again!

NARRATOR:

A pronouncement against the desert plain: In the forest in the desert plain you will spend the night, O caravans of Dedan.

Bring water to meet the thirsty one, You inhabitants of the land of Tema, And bring bread for the one fleeing.

For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, From the bent bow, and from the cruelty of the war.

JEHOVAH:

Within one year, like the years of a hired worker, All the glory of Kedar will come to an end. The remaining bowmen of the warriors of Kedar will be few, For Jehovah the God of Israel has spoken.

NARRATOR:

A pronouncement about the Valley of Vision
What is the matter with you that you have all gone up to the roofs?

You were full of turmoil, A boisterous city, an exultant town. Your slain were not slain with the sword, Nor did they die in battle.

All your dictators have fled together. They were taken prisoner without need of a bow. All who were found were taken prisoner, Even though they had fled far away.

ISAIAH:

That is why I said: “Turn your eyes away from me, And I will weep bitterly. Do not insist on comforting me Over the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

NARRATOR:

For it is a day of confusion and of defeat and of panic, From the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, In the Valley of Vision. There is a demolishing of the wall And a cry to the mountain.

Elam picks up the quiver With manned chariots and horses, And Kir uncovers the shield.

Your choicest valleys Will become full of war chariots, And the horses will take their positions at the gate, And the screen of Judah will be removed.

“In that day you will look toward the armory of the House of the Forest, And you will see the many breaches of the City of David. And you will collect the waters of the lower pool. You will count the houses of Jerusalem, And you will pull down the houses to reinforce the wall.

And you will make a basin between the two walls for the water of the old pool, But you will not look to its Grand Maker, And you will not see the One who formed it long ago.”

NARRATOR:

In that day the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, Will call for weeping and mourning, For shaved heads and the wearing of sackcloth.

But instead, there is celebration and rejoicing, The killing of cattle and the slaughtering of sheep, The eating of meat and the drinking of wine. “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.”

JEHOVAH:

This error will not be atoned in your behalf until you people die.

NARRATOR:

This is what the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of armies, says: “Go in to this steward, to Shebna, who is in charge of the house, and say, ‘What is your interest here, and who is there of interest to you here, That you hewed out a burial place here for yourself?’

He is hewing out his burial place in a high place; He is cutting out a resting-place for himself in a crag.

‘Look! Jehovah will hurl you down violently, O man, and seize you forcibly. He will certainly wrap you up tightly and hurl you like a ball into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be, A disgrace to your master’s house. And I will depose you from your position And throw you out of your office.”

JEHOVAH:

In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, And I will clothe him with your robe And firmly bind your sash around him, And I will give your authority into his hand.

And he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah.

And I will put the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open and no one will shut; And he will shut and no one will open.

I will drive him in as a peg in a lasting place, And he will become as a throne of glory to the house of his father.

And they will hang on him all the glory of the house of his father, The descendants and the offspring, All the small vessels, the bowl-shaped vessels, As well as all the large jars.

In that day, The peg that is driven in a lasting place will be removed, And it will be cut down and fall, And the load that it supported will fall to ruin, For Jehovah himself has spoken.

NARRATOR:

A pronouncement about Tyre
Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For the port has been destroyed; it cannot be entered. From the land of Kittim it has been revealed to them.

Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland. The merchants from Sidon who cross the sea have filled you.

Over many waters went the grain of Shihor, The harvest of the Nile, her revenue, Bringing the profit of the nations.

Be ashamed, O Sidon, you stronghold of the sea, Because the sea has said: “I have not had birth pains, and I have not given birth, Nor have I brought up young men or raised young women.”

As when they heard the report about Egypt, People will be in anguish over the report about Tyre.

Cross over to Tarshish! Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!

Is this your city that was exultant from long ago, From her early times? Her feet used to take her to distant lands to reside.

Who has decided this against Tyre, The bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, Whose tradesmen were honored in all the earth?

Jehovah of armies himself has decided this, To profane her pride over all her beauty, To humiliate all those who were honored throughout the earth.

Cross over your land like the Nile River, O daughter of Tarshish. There is no longer any shipyard.

He has stretched his hand out over the sea; He has shaken kingdoms. Jehovah has ordered the annihilation of Phoenicia’s strongholds.

And he says: “You will exult no more, O oppressed one, the virgin daughter of Sidon. Get up, cross over to Kittim. Even there you will find no rest.”

Look! The land of the Chaldeans. This is the people—Assyria was not the one— They made her a place for those haunting the desert. They have erected their siege towers; They have stripped bare her fortified towers, Reducing her to a crumbling ruin.

Wail, you ships of Tarshish, For your stronghold has been destroyed.

In that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, The same as the lifetime of one king. At the end of seventy years, It will happen to Tyre as in the song of a prostitute:

“Take a harp, Go around the city, O forgotten prostitute. Play your harp skillfully; Sing many songs, So that they will remember you.”

At the end of seventy years, Jehovah will turn his attention to Tyre, And she will return to her hire And prostitute herself with all the world’s kingdoms On the face of the earth.

But her profit and her hire will become something holy to Jehovah. It will not be stored or laid away, Because her hire will be for those dwelling before Jehovah, So that they may eat to satisfaction And wear elegant clothing.
