What is your oldest feature request? Mine was a request for a custom SIS report that I submitted in 2018. We'll have fully moved to a new ERP by July 2027, so I'm on the verge of canceling this one.

I was fortunate enough to see Diego Cara on his 400th start while wearing the sweatshirt my wife bought during the 2013 western conference playoffs against RSL. This time they won. It’s odd how often we see (and defeat) RSL post season.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military.
The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history.
Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

An incredible career and unbelievable humility. Players like him and Chara don't have flashy stats, but their mark is indelible.
What a career Darlington Nagbe has had.
After the Crew won MLS Cup in 2023 I was covering the celebrations in the locker room.
Two different champagne-soaked Crew staffers made sure to tell me:
“He’s the best fucking player this league has seen. You can fucking tweet that.”

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.
Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).
One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

During the week-long celebration of my parent's 50th anniversary, we did an overnight backpacking trip into Death Canyon in the Tetons. It was stunning, challenging, and my sister and dad made fun of my "heavy" gear, most of which I acquired while I was in high school.

My first boss told me during my assessment that goals are not projects. I was confused, but came to understand goals should be the development I need to make the projects successful. He wasn't the best at bedside manner, but he lived what he spoke. It's something I've tried to model since.

Mergers in EdTech can do weird things. Sometimes to do a major effort to select something only to have another company buy the tool you pick (See Angel). And occasionally, you pick one vendor who merges with the other finalist and you end up with the best of both products. (See Ivy.ai and Ocelot)

So the DOJ won't defend the HSI program because a lawsuit that seems to conflate quotas with student census info. Sure, they're both numeric, but they're quite different. www.chronicle.com/article/hisp...
Hispanic-Serving Institutions May Lose Federal Funds After Justice Dept. Refuses to Defend Grant Program
The department has indicated that it agrees with a lawsuit calling the program’s eligibility standard “unconstitutional.” More than 600 colleges could be affected.

One thing I missed while camping off grid in July was Governor Kotek's executive order banning cell phones in k-12. As someone who works in educational technology, I support this. I can't imagine learning in the environment my kids have had to navigate. www.opb.org/article/2025...
Gov. Kotek issues executive order banning cellphones during school hours
Every Oregon school district will have to adopt a policy prohibiting student cellphone use by Oct. 31. The policies must be in full effect by 2026.

I brought one of our new online learning polo shirts to a conference, but ended up not wearing it. Can you see the sleeve length difference in the navy blue shirt? Turns out it’s a women’s shirt.
