Congratulations to Club America for winning Campeones Cup. That was a fun game to watch, between two teams that deserved to be there and acquitted themselves well. Losses sting, and penalties are cruel. But I'm still glad that #Crew96 got to this game. Gotta repeat as MLS Cup champs to get back.

...Ahem :-) Amundsen proves the point. Still just over 10 minutes to play, and #Crew96 are back level in a _very_ noisy stadium.

#Crew96 are definitely in this game, but need to tighten up their execution just a little bit: * Cucho header off a corner kick * Rossi header in the first half * Ramirez low blast from outside * Rossi header immediately after we concede Still almost 20 minutes to play - don't panic, just play.

Yep, I still love every chance to watch #Crew96 take the field in international play. The thrill hasn't diminished, even after the long runs in CONCACAF play or the Leagues Cup. Pump these games into my bloodstream, for as long as we are eligible for them.

Is there a trick to get Reddit to stop recommending useless subreddits to me? It feels like I'm playing whack-a-mole at times. Especially for content where similarity isn't relevant. I'm a part of _my_ town's subreddit. That doesn't mean I want to join every other similar town's subreddit.

Watching Columbus - Cincinnati, and I gotta say: after this week, between these two cities, that "Refugees welcome" banner in the Bailey feels just a little bit more special tonight. Whoever hung that, I see you and I'm glad you're there.

If you see this, quote post with a famous landmark you've seen. (IYKYK, and I think most of you following me were at this landmark with me).

This is my moment of joy for today. youtu.be/5-zfSWVqEU0?...

So often in software engineering, I've found myself working on extending / tweaking an existing system, rather than doing greenfield development on something entirely new. This summer has been a welcome counterpoint to that - and it has been extremely rewarding.

I spent too much time this afternoon trying to figure out why copy-pasting from a markdown file into a Confluence document was resulting in pre-formatted content. Then I remembered that my editor, VS Code, is a Microsoft product. So I fired up Sublime and tried the same thing. Success. WTF.
