    OT: 1990 Storrs

    To be clear, we're talking about the strip mall on route 9...across from the drama building and sort of kitty corner from EO Smith. Right? Facing it, all the way to the left was a Big Y. 75% sure about that.

    I found this screenshot in an old backup drive...

    It's probably a bunch of telecom switch commands. At that time I was living in Lisbon running a telecom business of (apparently) dubious legality. Soon thereafter its legality would be doubted in person by the Portuguese FBI in a morning raid of my apartment during which they confiscated all my...

    UConn Gaming Club bringing esports revolution to Storrs, the Big East and beyond (Courant)

    Outside the US they take education and esp. STEM seriously because know the value of an educated citizenry. In the US, universities (and increasingly lower education) are a just another business. Make up for a moronic public with immigrants.

    Nike adding gold tabs to jerseys

    I approve of this timeframe! Nike’s involvement in college athletics dates back to 1985 when the apparel company delivered team-colored Nike Dunks to numerous schools around the country as part of its “Be True To Your School” campaign. But it wasn’t until 1997 when the Arizona Wildcats became...

    OT: Never forget - 9/11

    Posted elsewhere by a friend of mine: << Reposted with permission from Lars Ampler (a US administrator with whom I crossed paths in Afghanistan): “I’m not interested in your 9/11 memes... In my humble opinion September the 11th should not represent anything that we celebrate in any fashion...

    OT: Never forget - 9/11

    Reading these tragic personal stories I can't help but think how many stories there are in the hearts and minds of the people in countries where the US has been bombing before and since 9/11. If 9/11 makes you feel sad, angry, frightened, hopeless ... then I think you are probably closer to...

    OT: Reckless Driving In Virginia

    I got 2 tickets in the same town in upstate NY - Friendlyville or something like that - one on my way north and one coming back through. I was living overseas and by the time I received them they were already past due. That was in 1993. About 10 years later I lived in NYC for 5 years - those...

    OT: Reckless Driving In Virginia

    I hit 260 km/h in a 120 (160 mph in a 75) on the highway in Portugal. I'm glad I didn't get pulled over for that one!

    Dog or cat?

    My wife and I agree that we regret the way we integrated the new guy but that we couldn't just let him die - there was a huge huge storm and he was in a hole in the ground under a tree. Anyway we are where we are and the damage is done - getting rid.of him now probably wouldn't fix anything...

    Dog or cat?

    ... here is one of mine. He's one of 3 siblings we adopted from a street food vendor almost 4 years ago. Amazing cats - awesome personalities. They loved each other, play with each other, clean each other, sleep together... ....but then a year ago we adopted a kitten we found on our road and...

    Speeding Ticket(s) in Italy

    That's a bummer about the expensive ticket! I drove through southeastern Europe last Dec - a loop from Romania south to (northern) Greece then back up through Macedonia and Serbia. I haven't received anything in the mail from that...but I live in Bangkok and my "permanent" address is in CT so...

    Speeding Ticket(s) in Italy

    I am planning a trip there in October and would appreciate any advice as well. I lived there for 3 years during high school but I have never driven a car there outside of my driveway - I only drove my little 50cc motorino on the streets. (I hope this isn't too much of a sidetrack for this...

    NCAA March Madness Team of the Decade

    UConn? Yeah, 2011 was more of an "improbable" run - 2014 was definitely miracle run status.

    Some Interesting JC thoughts

    ...and JC was successful in part because players like Ray chose JC and UConn. Ray is a grown man with many years spent as a top performer in the NCAA and at the top of his profession in the NBA. He knows a heckuva lot more about the intricacies of this situation than any keyboard warrior on the...
