The Bruins integrated before the Sox did!

The Red Sox didn't integrate until 1959. The last team in the bigs to do so. Then again, the Boston Braves were the fifth, so maybe it's just Yawkey that's the d-bag.

Started?

I hope you're a smash tonight!

Malkovich is good in it, as is the main character. The cartoon it came from is great. Flawed, yes. Terrible, no.

I ate a peanut butter and honey​ sandwich, with chips and a banana, every single day in elementary school. So, best.

I'm not googling that at work, but I'm going with "they really blew that one!"

The Day the Toy Cried?

The counterpoint is my sister: "I'm really glad you like to sit in an office all day, look at a computer screen, and write error messages or release notes, because IF I DID THAT I WOULD KILL MYSELF!" She's a hairstylist, which takes an entirely different set of skills. Most of us are good at something, and it took me…

I'm working for a company that makes software-defined WANs. Configuring a network now can be done with a mouse click instead of sitting at a console terminal and entering router commands. Some people, like me, think this is cool. Is it more important than having hot water or a toilet that flushes? No, but so what?…

Yeah, standing in a lube pit all day, breathing in gasoline fumes. Sign me up! Coding is clean and there's a demand for it. My old company was called "the plumbers of the Internet" because that's what they made, switches and routers. Without that, this post doesn't get sent. Coding ain't all Twitter.

The Smartest Guys in the Room, the book about the Enron scandal, is a good start. Energy market manipulation in Texas resulted in a Democratic governor in California being recalled, Schwartzenegger becoming the Governator, and rolling blackouts here while power plants were being taken offline for fake "maintenance".…

And you may say to yourself, etc etc

Ignore the troll. Some people want to drag you down to their level. You forgot Juan-Manuel Fangio, who won his first world championship in his late '30s and his last one in his mid-40s if I recall correctly. Possibly still the greatest racer ever.

Yes! I quit smoking years ago, but having a prop to make a grand sweeping gesture is missed.

A7x, all the time, every time.

The Armory sticks out like a sore thumb in the Mission. It's like a Confederate fort in the middle of San Francisco - a huge brick edifice. I'd never noticed it before, and googled it for more information at work a few months ago. That…Could have gone badly.

Less than a 5? No handshake from me!

Says a guy who probably never worked in tech support, or used the acronym PEBCAK - problem exists between chair and keyboard.

I'm TAR'd of all these WinRAR puns.
