This is nuts. United Airlines paid for an extra night of airport hotel when I missed a connection on an $800ish economy ticket to Brisbane so I wouldn't have to do this. You'd think an NBA owner could do the same.

I don’t always enjoy Dillon Brooks’s antics, but I look forward to seeing him go full Villain mode against OKC. 🍿

I didn’t interact with them much. As a grad student, I was older (although objectively still very young, I now realize!) and kind of nerdy. But someone asked me about my split-sole jazz sneakers one time. 🙂

Cam Johnson against backcourt pressure?

Greg Oden was also in this class. The top of my head was at his elbow.

In summer 2006, at the end of my first year of grad school at Ohio State, I took a hip hop dance class. Most, if not all, of the men’s basketball team was also in this class. Tonight, nearly twenty years later, I am watching a former classmate play in the NBA Playoffs.

Being a PI sometimes means getting emails with subject lines like this on a quiet Friday afternoon 😂🤣💀

FWIW, I still love my rare books and manuscripts library time, but no one was going to pay me to keep doing that and only that, which probably speaks to your point about that kind of working being limited to elite institutions.

I've been thinking about this and haven't quite formulated what I want to say about it yet. But the work on AI I sort of drifted into to solve a practical problem now feels like a natural extension of questions about medium, communication, audience, etc. I've been interested in since I was an UG.

There's petty, and then there is Sir Thomas Phillipps petty where he barred from his considerable private library of incredibly rare manuscripts: all Catholics and ... his son in law, James.

James was an antiquarian and Shakespeare scholar. Imagine being that close to that library and... nope.

Gilbert Richard Redgrave (1844-1941) | Special Collections | Library | University of Leeds

I have *just* realized that I left G.R. Redgrave out of my full citation for the STC in my book. I checked three sets of proofs and didn't catch this.

My apologies for this serious oversight, Mr. Redgrave.
