🏀 Incredible night at my @ParisBasketball @Euroleague game against Partizan Belgrade.
7000 people with about 2000+ Serbian visitors that made themselves at home.
No incidents but a tense atmosphere all game long… and we got away with another win, making it 5W-3L in our first #Euroleague campaign
Everyone wish a happy birthday to @adders :)
🎶 At the Linkin Park concert tonight! @acmomento #LinkinPark #FromZero
What a great band — and the addition of Emily Armstrong is fantastic: such a great voice!

Getting ready to say goodbye to Foursquare, an app I’ve used almost daily since its earlier form back in 2009 between my time studying and working and living in the UK, then in San Francisco, Paris, and my native French Riviera. Back then I used to check-in to places I visited from the mobile browser of my Nokia blackberry knockoff (E63) (2009-2011), then an Android phone (2011-2013), and finally from the dedicated iPhone apps (2013+). During that time the Foursquare app (and later Swarm) has almost always been on my phone’s Home Screen.
I’m feeling genuinely sad about this, truly the end of an era for a formative time in my life, the late 2000’s-early 2010s “SoLoMo” (Social Local Mobile) apps.
4SQ has been invaluable, not just for memorizing/logging/remembering places I’ve been to, but also to discover new places.
I traveled the world by myself for most of 2017, but Foursquare was my guide to discover new favorites while visiting cities all around Asia or America for the very first time. The amount of time I’ve spent on this app is immeasurable and I have a hard time wondering how I’ll get by the next time I explore a new city in the world.
As I start looking at substitutes, it seems that Superlocal could be an option. Otherwise North.Industries which I need to look into. But I need to do a lot more research!
🎶 Well… this is just over a year away, but bound to be a lot of fun! @Offspring with @SimplePlan as the opening act 💪👨🎤🤘🎸🔥
Too many business school graduates and not enough liberal arts alumni.
🏀 And now for the main event: @ParisBasketball league home opener against La Rochelle #Basketball
Big cleaning day at home today + running some errands too
🏀 First @ParisBasketball home game of the season! First ever game in the #EuroLeague for a sold out hosting of Red Star Belgrade
⚾️ Postseason @Orioles outfit, LFG!
So I just upgraded to the #iPhone16 Plus (from an iPhone 11) and I am LOVING the Dynamic Island for small glances at context-specificfic stuff.
I.e. flight updates or Uber ETAs
Hallo Nurnberg
Been exploring certain neighborhoods around us lately — been loving these formerly-run down and now-rehabilitated factory places
Some early week-end action
⚽️ Gonna need to find a way to pick up tickets to the @ManCity game in Paris on January 22nd! #ChampionsLeague

What a game to attend!
It all started when local friends of ours let us know they could get us good tickets. We went together, only to realize we were sitting 2 rows above the Baltimore Orioles' clubhouse (🤯). Despite the risk of rain, we arrived early, were able to snuck in the (folded) stroller, and sat in our seats.
It was incredible to see the level of talent and athleticism in person, live in the stadium. The speed at which the pitchers throw the ball is incomprehensible, especially taking into account the distance and precision they need to reach the zone. And the ability of a batter to analyze a pitch and try to hit the ball is a real feat.
But the highlight came when our star Gunnar Henderson absolutely blew the roof off Camden Yards with that second-inning grand slam, turning a 1–1 nail-biter into a 5–1 Orioles party and you could feel the sweep-avoiding energy flip instantly. And the fact that slam was Gunnar’s 50th career homer just made it feel like one of those “we’re watching a superstar era” nights for O’s fans.
Grateful to have seen and witnessed it, along with seeing our ace Corbin Burnes shoving for seven sharp innings. It felt like Boston never really had a way back into the game.

Love this idea from @Wired:
The tech economy is all about growth. What if it maximized something else for a change?

If you’re fortunate to live long enough, eventually you get The Call. Sometimes it’s an actual call, sometimes a social media post or a conversation on the street. But the message is the same: A friend of your youth has died.
The death of Matthew Perry was sad for all the reasons it is sad when a gifted, nimble, charming performer who has shared his struggles dies too young. But it was deepened by the particular relationship of “Friends” to its audience. If you connected with the show the way the show wanted to connect with you, the weekend’s news was a global version of The Call.
Going to an office for work today, for the first time in over 2 years. Ask me anything.
(Remote Work is everything / the logistics of commuting and in-office are exhausting!)
Another day, another @ParisBasketball game, another win!
5-for-5 this season so far across 2 different competitions
