I decided to expand this post a little bit this week. I added a links section with various links I’ve come across during the week that I found interesting and thought you might too.
Week of April 26
🏀 The Blazers had an absolutely epic 2nd half meltdown and blew a 17 point halftime lead on Sunday afternoon. They ended up losing by 21, 114-93. This was easily the most embarrassing 2nd half of a basketball game that I have ever watched. Absolutely awful. Update: Game 5 wasn’t much better. I turned it off when the Blazers were down by 28 points. They lost the game 114-95 and lost the series 4-1. As terrible as the last 3 games in this series were, I’m really looking forward to next season.
🏀 In other NBA playoff news, the New York Knicks thoroughly embarrassed the Atlanta Hawks in Atlanta in Game 6 of their series, 140-89 – they had a 47 point lead at halftime (83-36). That’s right, the Hawks lost by 51 points at home. Absolutely batshit crazy.
🎮 I hit level 300 on my PS5 Fallout 76 character this week. I’m mostly still enjoying it and am looking forward to the next season starting in June. If you play Fallout 76 on the PlayStation, feel free to hit me up. My gamertag is R1zzly_Adams 😊
👟 I’ve pretty much stopped adding to my Air Jordan collection over the last year or two, with the exception of a couple of pairs – mostly pairs I’ve always wanted but never had before. The last pair I bought were the Gamma 11s in the middle of last December, but earlier today I picked up a pair of the “Banned” Jordan 1 Lows and love them.
☕️ While we were at the mall, I came across this mug for my little brother. His 49th birthday is on May 16th and he LOVES the Wu-Tang Clan, so this is perfect.
🍜 Since we were out picking up my Jordans anyway, I had to stop for pho. I really just need to find a Vietnamese grandma to adopt me and make me soup 😋

The Amazing Programmable Camera In Your Pocket
Davey has an excellent post about using the iPhone as his primary camera, the apps that he uses to shoot and edit photos, and a list of camera apps that he still wants to try (I downloaded a bunch of these apps after reading the post). He also included a bunch of fantastic photos taken with each app he uses. Great post all around and definitely worth checking out.
A great post covering CSS scroll-driven animations, which allow you to animate elements based on their scroll position on a page.
I Handwrote Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”
Holy smokes, this video great and Eminem’s rhymes are bananapants.
This is really cool and something I definitely need to dig more into.
See ya next week!
