Ok ok I admit my shameful secret. I kinda like the Cybertruck
The Cybertruck has been in the news lately because all of them got recalled due to having issues with, uhh, stopping. This was the sign I needed to unburden myself. Yes, I kinda like the Cybertruck. You happy? Let me be clear, I think the truck is ugly and stupid. Tesla corporate culture is... -
Has anyone played this simple version of Pac Man?
I'm still curious whether anyone has played this and what you think? -

PAKU PAKU! https://abagames.github.io/crisp-game-lib-11-games/?pakupaku It's Pac Man, but only one line and ghost. Anyone else played this yet? -

Covid still frolicking around
I'm sorry to hear about the issues of others. The tricky thing with pandemics - there is no linear progression. It can turn deadly again at any moment and migation measurements help prevent this possibility. Long Covid is a huge, underreported concern and is manifesting in many ways, including... -
WE WILL needs vintage logos and I created one
The standard WE WILL logo is great and obviously is inspired by our boy Jack. BUT! What if WE WILL was around in the 1980s - what would the logo have looked like? I often draw mock vintage logos but it's hard to find time to make an actual semi-finished design. For this one, I was inspired by... -
How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
I did not know this. Really? If Iowa isn't donating 100% of proceeds back to the kids, that's ridiculous. That's somewhat the same slight concern I have with the Trice logo. Is there a point when it becomes performative? I believe it's part of the vintage logo package, which means it has a... -

How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
I did this in 10 minutes, so it's relatively crude. You get the idea though. -
How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
Because Jack was on the field as an equal with white players, some fans viewed him as an "activist" - the historical term was often "agitator." Think of the Mizzou letter saying Jack couldn't play because of the political question. I ask, what was the political question? It's what "uppity"... -
How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
It may not be possible with current jersey cuts, but I've photoshopped the current standard uniforms with a very subtle - almost the same shade - full size stripes underneath the chest number. This is where I wonder if the Big 12 (in addition to ISU) could've forced the issue a bit. Probably... -
How to continue Jack Trice's legacy in future years?
RIP to Jack Trice. Great job by everyone involved with the 100th anniversary events. It's always been clear to me that Jack should be an annual thing and I hope the positive reception to this game (etc) helps make that happen. Around 2016, I wrote several stories on my site about the need for a... -
Decided to do a Jack Trice story for Smithsonian magazine
I really appreciate the sentiment, but I'm simply another link in the Jack Trice memorial chain of people stretching back over 100+ years that have kept this story alive. So much work was already done before me. I'm merely the latest to build on it. As mentioned, I'm a link in the chain. This... -
Washington Post- Jack Trice Article
Agree with everyone about the letters. There is actually an untold story behind the letter that Missouri sent - something I've been sitting on for quite a while. When the time is right, I'll be sharing it. It will make the letter even more powerful and repulsive. Typically if an integrated...
