Have you seen the video about @BYU_PASCAL's experience making acoustical measurements at the @NASAArtemis I launch of @NASA_SLS? I'm so grateful @BYU students get to have these kinds of experiences.

Opening prayer offered at the BYU-Notre Dame game welcomed “our brothers in Christ from Notre Dame” to Provo and requested a special blessing upon Pope Leo. 🥺🙏🏻🤙🏻
And that my friends is jet crackle. The rasping popping noise. Studied it a bunch with military jets but it's so much more extreme with rockets.
Part of my career has been studying noise from @thef35. The four that flew over @BYU stadium just set off a car alarm at the park by my house. (These are #3 and #4.)
Go Cougs!! @BYUfootball

Some incredible depth from BYU, who had seven runners across the line before any other team had four.

This was one of my favorite moments of the season... Not just because of Daniel's homerun. But, because of his interaction with Jose after hitting it. It came at a time when Josey wasn't hitting like his "Josey Self". And yet... he never seemed panicked or stressed and no matter what, he always took time to build up his teammates. He's such a great leader!
It got me thinking... One day, maybe 10 - 15 yrs from now, the Schneemann family will take a trip to Cooperstown. It'll probably be for some baseball or softball tournament that one of our grandkids will be playing in. Daniel might even be one of the coaches by then. We'll all visit the Hall of Fame and when we pass by the bust of Jose Ramirez, our grandkids will get to hear a few clubhouse stories from their dad/uncle about what it was like to play with this 5 foot 8 inch GIANT of baseball player... What he was like as a teammate & a leader.
I'm sure Daniel will still be really humble, so before leaving the Hall, I'll make sure we also pass by the busts of Verlander & Scherzer & I'll let the grandkids know thier Dad/Uncle homered off both those dudes. Yeah, that will be a great day...
But, that's in the future. Tomorrow its on to the ALCS. And Josey is back to his "Josey Self". Its a bad day to be a Ray!
Go Guards!
TIL...
I knew a guy who worked for Texas Instruments back in the day. He told me that after they created the first electronic hand calculator, they got a call from Bell Telephone.
The folks from Bell were really worried. You see, when they created the first push-button phone, they did extensive tests and analyses to determine the EXACT BEST PATTERN for the number buttons. They wanted the pattern that would be the easiest for people to tap in the dark or via muscle memory.
But when they saw that Texas Instruments' calculator had the exact opposite layout, Bell realized they must have blundered.
"So," they asked. "What did your tests show?"
The guys at Texas Instruments just gaped stupidly and said, "Tests?"
Unreal
Wow. @CleGuardians down 0-2 and come back for the ALDS series win. 20Ks of the White Sox tonight. Pitching was unreal and clutch. This HR the difference maker. Just an unbelievable team win.
