Also quite excited for this whole bunch of nerdiness:
Very Online
So incredibly excited for my friend @randgetlin.bsky.social, founder of Park Stories, ahead of the release of a body of work years in the making!
I’ve been hearing about this, behind the scenes, since 2021-2022 and I’m so proud and stoked and excited for its release!
Software brain says Go faster; do more; the only mistake you can’t fix is having gone too slow. Hardware brain says Slow down; do less; focus; strive for perfection and never settle for less than excellence; mistakes are forever.
Wonderful night out for the official #NBAPlayoffs @trashtalkfr.bsky.social viewing party at Le Grand Rex (an iconic 1020s movie theater —one of the most beautiful and still one of the biggest in Europe today)
- Cavs at Raptors - was dreadful until the end of Q3
then - Spurs at Blazers - great comeback
My second time being able to score tickets and love the experience with the other 2500 fans cheering all night long!
Special guests this year: Mickael Pietrus and Maxime Raynaud (one of the best rookies of the year and hopefully soon a French National Team player!)
Joined my wife on her podcast this week, officially Episode 02, 3 years agyer episode 01!
Euroleague Documentary Premiere: Chasing Glory
4/23/26
Evening out for a Premiere of a Euroleague Documentary on Nigel Hayes-Davis, “Chasing Glory”.
Following NHD as his Fenerbahce team makes the playoffs against us last season, all the way to the Euroleague final and winning Final Four MVP!
Really insightful documentary on a player who caused us so much heartaches last season!
After the documentary, we had a panel discussion on the movie with the presence of Leo Cavalière, one of our Paris Basketball players, as well as two other former basketball players turned content creators.
We then enjoyed some lovely drinks and snacks in the private rooftop salon of the cinema that was hosting the event! :)
À propos of nothing… #Euroleague #F4GLORY
Also, while we’re at it! #GoHabsGo #StanleyCup #NHLPlayoffs
So glad Cherki is a City player!
#MCIARS What a game!
🇪🇸 Pretty gutted for my fellow countryman Antoine Griezmann whose team Atlético de Madrid lost the Copa del Rey final last night. His last opportunity before his transfer to MLS’s Orlando FC this summer 😢
In total Grizi has stayed almost a decade at Atleti 💔
Time for an NBA Bracket prediction… This one is more Wishful Thinking than anything else…
FFS Atleti gonna Atleti 🤦♂️ ⚽️ #UCL #ChampionsLeague
Very excited for the play-ins, and especially the playoffs to start!
🙋♂️ Pragmatic Hopeful here — really enjoyed this podcast
Whoever added this to the shared library bookshelf in our building, thank you for sending this my way!
Starting it tonight: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie 📚
This is a post about Manchester City and the Premier League
“OpenAI’s technology is undeniably real and blazing the frontier of AI. It’s the financial story Altman has structured that seems alarmingly circular.”
“Adobe used to be a bastion of best practices for developers to follow. Now their installer/updater is indistinguishable from malware.”
Finished reading: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 Omnibus Volume 1 by Joss Whedon 📚
Logging this about a week later, but happy to have finally finished this big volume, years after the original publication… late to the party, but better late than never
📚 Super niche, but between Jonnie Park (aka Dumbfoundead)’s memoir and Eddie Huang’s debut novel, I’m eating good this year!
Drops of God Season 2 feels closer to a Largo Winch-level of personal international intrigue, with a hint of thriller and mystery.
Quite enjoying it so far tbh!
Hell of a week for Italian sports:
- my Paris Basketball team beat Bologna away and Milan at home tonight
- Italy out of the World Cup lol #ParisBasketball #Euroleague
Which one of y’all is doing this?! I’m flabbergasted that the stats are so high! I happily live in a strict no-Temu, no-Shein household.
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Finished reading: Mint Condition by Dave Jamieson 📚
Super niche, but a great read for me, as a small-time baseball card collector, wanting to learn more about the History of The Hobby!
Since we’re talking music, go listen to Gorillaz’s new masterpiece, ”The Mountain”, you’ve been missing out if you hadn’t until now!
Genuinely their second best, after Demon Days and ahead of Plastic Beach. This one completes the trilogy beautifully and I can’t wait to get my hands on that collectible yellow Vinyl!
As anticipated, Tom Misch’s new album ”Full Circle” is absolutely excellent!
Seven years in Paris
3/27/26
Seven years ago this month, my wife and I had just moved to Paris as a pair of newlyweds — I’d found a job. Today I had an errand to run on the same street where that first Parisian office used to be.
We spent about a year and a half there. Enough time to build routines — the restaurant next door for lunch, the bar around the corner for after-work drinks with colleagues.
Going back felt strange in a good way. The street has changed — new lunch spots, new offices — but the vibe is the same. It just keeps renewing itself every few years.
What hit me more was thinking about the distance we’ve covered. From fresh-off-the-boat Parisians to actually feeling at home here. My wife and I, and now us as a family.
Same street. Different people walking it.
Happy #MLBOpeningDay folks! Go O’s!
Let’s keep his “Good, I’m glad he’s dead” post bookmarked(…) after he chokes on a hamburger or whatever it’ll be that finally does him in — and the good people of the world rejoice and celebrate.
