On NFL news, the situation in Minnesota is getting pretty ugly. I really didn’t like O’Connell sending a very injured Carson Wentz out to take a pounding, ending his season and very possibly his caree...

My kid thought I should use Elon’s dumpster site to complain to a company that’s not on here to get a response, so I said fine, and within 10 minutes a scam account was created and trying to steal my info. Completely useless trash fire.

Air France abandoned our bag in CDG airport, never loaded it. It has an AirTag and looks like it’s been sitting at the baggage counters for two days. We filed a claim and sent them the AirTag link but they won’t take the five minutes to track it down and ship it. 1/2

Learned this week that it’s not very hard to bike to the airport. Ferry from downtown, east Boston greenway to airport station, service road to terminal E. Last half mile isn’t very bike friendly but there were almost no cars.

Lately gotten several variations of a phishing scam getting through spam filters at least daily, and l don’t know, I thought coding and text classification were like the two strong use cases for machine learning models, but Google/Gmail seems pretty bad at it!

While biking past Bowdoin saw a dollar bill lying in road at a red light and looked all around as I picked it up because I figured it must be an economics experiment or some transportation study about bikers stopping at red lights. Driver in the car next to me gave a thumbs up.

A brand new type of travel hell at Logan: airline gives you meal vouchers for a canceled flight, but when you try to redeem it restaurants tell you they only take card and don’t have a cashier to redeem. So kids bought $60 of candy and soda at the only place that would accept it, a snack kiosk.

Just had some Turkish delight and I’m once again cursing CS Lewis for my reaction always being, “ooh Turkish delight, I bet that tastes really good!” followed by deep disappointment.
