I upped the stakes to filter for a more exclusive teamwide 60-60-90 shooting club and found 14 instances of this (0 in the playoffs). As a Mavs fan, made me very happy to see a Dirk-led team in the list

In the regular season, a teamwide 50-40-90 has happened 1000+ times. And 7 times both teams in a game faced off with dueling 50-40-90s

The teamwide 50-40-90 game has happened 64 times in the NBA Playoffs. In the past 2 Playoffs, only the Pacers and Thunder have achieved the feat

After watching the Pacers & Thunder hit 50-40-90 percentages as a team in the Playoffs, I looked further into NBA teamwide shooting excellence

Started collecting my favorite beige styled websites. I was first drawn to how it evokes old books and humanity. Interesting to see how some LLM websites (Anthropic) have co-opted the beige + illustration + serif style

As long as I can remember, I've enjoyed taking photos mostly of nature - trees, oceans, lakes, flowers. Sometimes there's cool geometry in a building or a bridge or my favorite wonder of the world: the Alhambra

Born #onthisday in 1799, the English botanist Anna Atkins. As well as being considered by many to be first woman to create a photograph, her stunning 1843 book of algae cyanotypes is thought to be first book illustrated with photographs: buff.ly/2HCCTc8 #OTD

Had a lot of fun going back through all the songs I've loved over the years. I wrote a little blurb for each song evoking some memory or feeling
