Bayern Munich 2 - 2 Real Madrid - Only really caught the second half of this one. Sane and Kane came up big early in the second half to take back control of the game, but Bayern's defense let them down and Kim Min-jae conceded a penalty late with some poor defending in the box.

GBStudio and Delta is a really fun combination for making and then playing games on your iPhone or iPad. Just tried loading the GB Studio 5th Anniversary Demo and it worked perfectly. I think my kids could really get into making GB games this way.

Additionally, charging on the eYoo is quite inconvenient because you have to connect directly to the wheel with an adaptor. I'm able to easily charge my eBike's battery at my desk at work and at my office at home.

The Gogoru eYoo is getting some love in microblogging circles today, but it's completely unsuited to the harsh rigors of my commute. The $4,000+ price tag and carbon frame are also negatives in my mind from both a long term durability and highly attractive theft target perspective.
The unified wheel design is cool until your batteries need replacement, then you're replacing the entire back wheel which contains the motor and batteries. I really hope they have some kind of recycle/trade-in program for that.🚫🌐 APR 30 2024 07:20
Nothing like a weird internet outage to start off your morning right. Power cycling the router and cable modem seems to have resolved the issue.

Finally downloaded Delta from the app store. Looking forward to trying out iOS-based retrogaming.

Aidan Mahaney going to UConn is wild to me. He's a great pickup for the Huskies, it's just so weird to see a local SMC guy move on. It's the state of college basketball though, and he legitimately achieved all he could hope to at Saint Mary's in terms of winning the WCC, WCC tournament and playing in the NCAA tournament.

I'm really intrigued by the idea of Romero moving to the 6 for Spurs. He played so well against Arsenal and really showcased his all around game. It seems pretty unlikely, but he might be better in that role than anyone we could actually acquire in the transfer market.

Finished replacing the AC contactor this afternoon and tested it out. Low voltage current remained good once the AC unit kicked in and seemed to run fine for the ten minutes I let it run. Cautiously optimistic that the failed contactor was the culprit and we're back in business for the summer months.

I find manually porting fonts to Decker a relaxing yet stimulating activity, similar to working on a jigsaw puzzle in many ways, but with greater future utility.

Drafted UW Flyers second spell in my first OTJ Quick Draft. Won my first match and got wrecked by back-to-back aggro decks on the play then ripped off 6 straight wins (the last three against Platinum players even though I'm barely Gold) and trophied for the first time in like three sets. I'm back baby! I'm sure reality will return shortly, but that was pretty fun and I'm really liking the set so far.

My quest to recreate the Casual font in Decker has been fruitful thanks to modern Newton emulation technology. Tracked down some ROMs and made some reference screencaps last night. Should be able to finish up Casual_10 tonight.

I have been on a bit of an internet deep dive looking for complete versions of NewtonOS's original Casual bitmap fonts (there were three different sizes I believe) for Decker purposes. You can find TrueType knockoffs, but I'm not interested in those.

NASA has finally approved the first crewed Starliner launch for early May, and I'm not going to lie, given the four-year delay and the current state of Boeing I'm a little worried.

EVE 2 - 0 LIV FT Everton wins Klopp's final Mersey-side Derby. Only the second time they've won in the last thirty meetings with their rivals! Wild!

Just saw that Gonzaga's president, Thayne McCulloh, will be retiring after the 2024-2025 academic year. I'm sorry to see him go as he's Gonzaga through and through. One of my favorite things about him is that in addition to being a highly competent leader of the university, he has an endearing goofy quality, doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, and connects well with the entire campus. He and his predecessor Fr. Spitzer were both Gonzaga alums and I'm very curious to see who will picked to replace him in the coming year and if they have some kind of Gonzaga connection as well.

Apple announces For All Mankind season five and Star City spinoff
This is pretty huge, as excited as I am for a fifth season I've also been hoping for a look into the Soviet space program perspective since the very first season. I was always just thinking in terms of single one-off episodes, a full season will be fantastic.
