My Spotify Release Radar has new songs from Finger Eleven and Jimmy Eat World. It feels like 2003, and I love it!

I want a new electronic deadbolt for my front door. I want it to have a keypad. I don't care if it has a keyway. Ideally it will integrate with SmartThings (probably z-wave). I haven't created a Matter network yet, but I could with my Eero Pro6e. Thoughts? @richardgunther.com

So are we ready to finally admit that Connor McDavid is overrated?
June 18, 2025 at 1:54 AM
Losing 5-1 in a game in which your goalie struggles isn't embarrassing. Playing like this when you're down by 4 IS embarrassing. At this point I hope Florida wins this series 4-1. Forget these Edmonton clowns

I know they are old at this point, but I still chuckle at the VRBO ads with Nick Saban. He's soooo perfect for them!
June 10, 2025 at 1:24 AM
I guess Connor McDavid is okay at hockey...
June 7, 2025 at 12:55 AM
Wow! The Leafs have NO chance of winning this game if they are going to play like this. Three straight lazy plays on one shift will land the puck in your net every.single.time. against a team like the Panthers.

It's #medalmonday and I'm still grinning from ear to ear after knocking almost 20 minutes off last year's half-marathon! Huge thanks to Jen for all of her support and Dave's Training program! It's amazing what you can accomplish with good friends by your side, and absolutely perfect weather!

So excited that I've registered for my first track day of the year! It's been a looooong winter, and I've been dying to get the car back on a track!

It's only one game, but my pick of the Lightning to win the Cup is looking pretty dumb right now.

For the record, that is who I predicted to win. I'm rooting for the Leafs in the east and the Avs in the west.

Chipotle really gets me! BOGO from my favorite fast food place, on my birthday, just for wearing my favorite clothes?!?!!

I want to wish @richardgunther.com the best birthday imaginable! You've been an incredible friend and mentor to me over the roughly 15 years I've known you! I hope you've been well-celebrated over the last few days and I look forward to many more birthday celebrations with you!

Wow! That game was tied at 3 going into the third and then OSU completely crapped the bed...not that I'm complaining 🤣

I don't like to be that guy, but that's two terrible calls against Boston University
