the 2024 red sox season in a nutshell

you've been watching us try to play defense, i take it.

unfortunately, however, that die was cast long ago.

a more deserving group i can’t imagine. enjoy!

[dog hears me open the front door at 1AM after a late flight]: doesn’t even look up

ok, for Seattle friends and anyone in town for the OSS Summit, turns out Pine Box was already booked for a private event.

so RedMonk beers will be at Outer Planet Brewing, next Tuesday at 7:30. hope to see you all there.

playing oakland and the angels helps.

also, most of those guys hadn't gotten injured yet.

so if i've got this straight, the red sox are down two of their best starting pitchers, their starting third baseman, second baseman and shortstop. also, the shortstop's backup. and the right fielder's backup. and we're playing the best team in the division tonight.

swell.

important note: the images were generated, not real.

macro point still stands, however: large events tend to look a lot alike.

just got some weird looks in the sky club because of this

ok, strike my last.

Pine Box is, sadly, already booked. reconfirming a new venue as we speak. more shortly.

wait, why aren’t my conference lanyards like these?

other than outerwear, t-shirts and underwear, i only have one set of anything at a time. i have one sox hat, one pair of shorts, one pair of jeans, one swimsuit, one vest, etc.

if i counted every piece of clothing i own, socks to jackets, i don’t think they’d total seven different colors. maybe not even five.

true, but then i’d have to decide what color to pick and to wear.

seven identical gray merino t-shirts is much simpler.

any sufficiently large technology conference is indistinguishable from another

good on Senator Angus King

PILOT: …aboard our Boeing 737 aircraft…
ME: wait, what? this is Delta. i thought i was safe.

that’s five more than i have

seattle friends: what’s a good venue for RedMonk beers next week? preferably something near the convention center, but would be willing to head elsewhere if necessary.
