Currently starting Day 2 of a 5-Day Fundraiser. Thank you to everyone everyone who jumped to share or donate. After Day 1, you've helped me & my son raise $452. We have four days left and the program is at 9% of it's overall goal.

My son heard about the fundraiser for the first time at practice yesterday, and was excited. He's planning to donate to the cause himself too. He's already planning to write custom thank you cards to everyone who helped!!

The program is run by a former guidance counselor at my kids’ elementary school and her husband. They are great people who run several free programs in the public elementary schools that my youngest has been involved with.

They run this basketball program as lean as possible to keep costs for families as low as possible and hire former players in the community to coach. So any contribution to help us will be appreciated!!

My son plays for an AAU basketball program operated by a local 503-C Non-Profit “Bull City B.E.S.T”. The program runs a number of local programs for youth in Durham, N.C. designed to create community. Right now they are starting a 5-day fundraising campaign. bullcitybest.org

This was a pretty big win for me personally, years in the making. We've been talking about getting something new, a third jersey for years. Other teams rebranded/took our old color schemes so we had to change on the fly. The results are fantastic.

I've always stayed away from React Server Components because of people talking bad about them and Next.js, but they seem to be much simpler than expected! What I understood from this article is that clients components are what Astro and Fresh call "islands", but for React.

This is my may brain is like the Charlie from Always Sunny meme -- my mind is wrapped around infrastructure all the time.

Sarah Drasner@sarahedo.bsky.social

A piece of collateral damage in this new age is lack of understanding of the value of infrastructure. Quality infrastructure takes creativity, it’s fascinating, it’s crucial. We’ve lost the plot, relegating it to being described as a cost center. Infrastructure is muscle, infrastructure is bone.

The last two episodes of Leet Heat have been incredible. I found a few LWJ episodes that have been helpful this morning. CodeTV has been crushing it since the the rebrand, so much so I had to upgrade my subscription. Check out codetv.dev if you haven't.

It’s not you, people are becoming dumber based on the results of cognitive tests. People across age groups are performing worse on tests for reasoning, problem-solving, and information-processing skills. 34% of U.S. adults scored at the lowest level for numeric skills in 2023. Up from 29% in 2022.

Hey: if you're an REI member you get to vote on the board of directors. There are three candidates on the ballot, all of whom oppose workers rights, and REI has blocked pro-worker candidates. When you get your email ballot, vote "withhold" on all three to support workers.

Coaching middle school aged players: a struggle, frustrating at times. Watching those same player play games: Pure joy. Win or lose, when the kids play it’s awesome to see. Fun distraction every day for the next few months.

The GEICO hockey commercial - hits all the stereotypical notes. This includes the goalie wearing their leg pads on the wrong legs. This is how I take a break & distract myself from the Real World.
