  1. I'll just chime in to say this. About a decade back I visited Israel for two weeks with the rest of my family. One of the most memorable parts of the trip was visiting the West Bank. I'm an empathetic person, and seeing the way the modern state of Israel treated the Palestinians people made me sad, more than anything. A day or two after we saw the settlements encroaching on the West Bank. That trip and the time we spent there seeing things with my own eyes changed my outlook. Many other people I've spoken to who have visited the Palestinian Territories feel the same way. Some of my other friends who have done the "birthright" trips never got a chance to see what we saw and had a very different experience of spending time in the region. What happened was/is horrible, and the nation of Israel is well within its rights to respond harshly. That being said, it breaks my heart to see bomb after bomb hit Gaza City and trash the place. More than a million people live there, and look what is happening to it. I think the situation is very complicated and that it is ok to feel conflicted. I myself am a non-practicing Jew.
  2. Happy birthday to HC's whisky king!
  3. Happy birthday, Chris! Come race with me and Brent sometime. Forza Motorsport is pretty fun!
  4. I wouldn't be sad to see the head of HBO fired for this. This is unbelievably stupid. https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/hbo-casey-bloys-secret-twitter-trolls-tv-critics-leaked-texts-lawsuit-the-idol-1234867722/
  5. I used to love sitting aisle but lately window has been calling my name. Love seeing cool stuff from the air. Rainier, Shasta, a few of SF and Mt. Hood.

    Get your game on!

    Fall, no. Breath very heavy in to his microphone while his four little yappy marmot-sized dogs go crazy in the background because a squirrel is in the back yard? Yes.

    New Forza. Does this hearld the return of HC Race Night? HDR screenshot blown out when converted to SDR, weird.
  8. The Fall of the House of Usher (Netflix) I enjoyed it enough to make it through all eight episodes. Solid B/B- for me.
  9. Quite impressive. I was using the free satellite wifi on a delta flight yesterday and the speeds were similar but ping in the 150s.
  10. Going Infinite - Michael Lewis I didn’t so much read this book as devour it in two nights. Lewis has his critics, but he is just such a wonderful storyteller. I’m always amazed by his ability to explain highly complex topics to the “interested layman” aka me. Lewis is just so read-able. As a securities lawyer I’ve been following the story of SBF, FTX, and the Crypto Winter with some interest these last two years, so I am very much the target audience for this book. I loved it. Sam is a great character. Yes, the ending is compromised as he rushed to get it out before the trail, but I find it hard to blame the man. You strike while the iron is hot.
  11. Peter Gabriel last night in SF. I’m glad I got to see him while he is still doing his thing. With the same warhorse band he has been with for damn near 50 years at this point, no less. He can still hit the high notes, but his voice is more fragile now that gives the songs a different feel, appropriate for a guy who is now 73. The new songs are pretty good!
  12. Excited to see this guy tomorrow night in SF so I figured I'd get a refresher on the hits.
  13. Not sure what was wrong with it but there were two very flustered looking young engineers onboard trying to figure things out.
  14. First time seeing Elon’s folly in the wild and it is broken down on the side of the interstate. I smiled.
  15. Happy birthday, Santa! Hope it is nice out there in the Caymans.
  16. We miss you, Steve. Happy birthday.
  17. Cool angle of one of Sir Lewis' laps. Helps you realize just how absurdly fast these modern cars are. They take turns at speeds you couldn't even come close to in another other than an ultra-high downforce ground effect car. Fighter pilot level g-forces in the turns as well.
  18. Live album from the Rumors tour in '77. Pretty solid! I think Lindsay's guitar and Mic's drums sound great. The complex vocal harmonies do suffer a bit in a live setting though. Chris McVie's voice can get lost in the mix at times. https://music.apple.com/us/album/rumours-live/1696829962
  19. Nice to see a race not won by the damn Bulls! Great win for Carlos.
