A few things hanging on the brain tonight, so I am going to get right into…
Some Thoughts:
- Academia is weird. The more I spend time in it, the more I recognize how little academia values commercial success. I could write a two page pamphlet that seven hard academics love and that would net me more praise than a hit novel. That is odd to me.
- Speaking of odd, the film Leave the World Behind hit me as being quite good. I truly enjoyed the take on a concept that is starting to get an intense amount of play. I fear it is way too timely–almost conspiracy level timely. The film talks about hacking and internal strife at a time where we are dealing with the possibility of an extremely divisive and vindictive man about to try to become president again. Moreover, some of the hacking stuff hit a bit too on the nose. The day after I saw the film Tesla recalled 2 million cars because of an ‘issue’ with the autopilot. See the film… you’ll see the issue pretty darn clearly. Then today, yet another billionaire’s secret bunker was revealed. Notably it is on an Island where many other ultra rich people have such spaces….
- Been watching Colorado shopping in the portal. Nice stuff there. Looks like Deion is getting his O-line. This week he started shopping for a D-line. He has the skill players. If he can get the beef up front and one more linebacker, his team is in the conversation for the expanded playoffs.
- Great day home with the lady. That is all I’ll say about that.
- Staying on the Buffs, who is going to be the OC for the team this upcoming season? He rolling with Shurmur? Feels like he is going to stick with the guy who took over calling Sean Lewis’ offense.
- Maybe that was enough for today. Allergies are kicking my tail and slowing my roll. Tomorrow I start rolling on TWO projects and I am excited to get after it.
