🏈 Let’s Go Mountaineers! That’s about the most enjoyable season opener I’ve watched in a while. #WVU #TakeThatHerbie
Every time I travel to a city that has a light rail system (this time, Salt Lake City), it makes me madder that Indy (and, to be fair, the northern suburbs) refuses to do it.
Anybody I know heading to Pluralsight Live in SLC this week?
Welcome to the TV kickoff of Week Zero of the 2018-19 college football season!
Here’s to you, Hawaii and Colorado State (and CBS Sports Network).

Said during my wisdom tooth removal today: “Next time I do this, remind me to take the sedation option.”
Ouch earlier, but feeling pretty decent right now (this might be the pain meds talking).
Wondering if there’s a secret undercurrent of college football nerds like myself lurking in the micro.blog community. 🏈
(Still miss TIY’s #sportsball Slack channel)
Quick trip home to visit family and we squeezed in a visit to the New River Gorge.
A lot of today’s general awfulness was magically washed away by singing along with my kids to “It’s the End of the World As We Know It” on the way home from dinner.
(Before anybody worries, I feel fine)
I’ve sworn off DIY plumbing for nearly a decade (since almost burning down my house). But: I just successfully replaced a garbage disposal and feel like Bob Vila.
Somebody eventually showed up, so there’s that.
Is @IndyPopCon trying to say something by having nobody show up for the opening day newbie panel?
I kid.
I think?
Hofstadter’s law rules everything around me.
Thinking of taking my son and daughter to @IndyPopCon this weekend.
Crazy idea or not?
We got fresh Engineering team laptop stickers thanks to @Sigstrapp’s amazing design staff and our loud, clacky keyboards.
Couple of notes while I cool off for a bit:
- It’s loud, but not as loud as I expected.
- Today, it’s hot af.
- Good lord, there’s a lot of people here.
- The parade laps and race start are awesome
- The event vibe is Vegas underbelly plus fervent militarism and patriotism theater.
Views from my seat (front straightaway).
I’ve lived in Indianapolis for nearly a dozen years. This is my first trip to the Indy 500.
Fort Wayne’s been fun.
All done with today’s three events, and Benjamin finished NotLast in all! He even made the initial cutoff time for the two that had them (you have to beat a certain time in your first two to finish the round).
This calls for ice cream!
Benjamin’s first event of four - the standard 3x3x3 - is underway. Just waiting for his heat.
As a reminder, Vannoy family goals are for NotLast.
