🏀 While not the first time I have won my group march madness brackets, it's the first time I have at least tied for first place despite not having a team left to play the next three games.

What a weird year. I knew college rankings were wacky this year, but I could go on for a while about how we got here.

🏀 Narrator: They benched him, put him back in to flounder before they pulled him out.

@chrishas35 I started to publish but struggled with the wording, "Can't hate to see the thing that no one actually hates to see."

🏀 PS: He's going to foul out too.

🏀 Who has two thumbs and is not even in the least bit surprised that Gonzaga got blown out by 30, possibly 40 points to end Timme's college career? IT ME!!!

@randomgeek burn. Which ts library hurt you?

@ehmatthes close but the 10-ounce steel wine glass tumbler.

@zecege I did and the brisket. It was respectable given other Texas BBQ I have had.

@dgouldin where else should one seek out while traveling through Texas? 👀

⛽ Friends, I have experienced Buc-ee's for the first time this week. It's one of the smaller ones near Surfside Beach, Texas but I sort-of see the appeal.

🍹 we are on our first family vacation since the pandemic began and possibly my first with my parents and siblings since I was a teenager.

@adamchainz I appreciate the heads up.

Turns out we ran out of space from old images hanging around then Redis fell over.

@adamchainz thanks for the heads up. Looking now. I drove 700 miles on a family trip and just checked the internet.

Fixing a caddy issue it seems.

🏀 Round of 64 - Day 1: I picked 13 out of 16 games correctly which puts me more accurate than 99% of all brackets.

Not bad, and my max points still has quite a bit of headroom.

🏀 Brackets down... We have officially started #MarchMadness

🎉 Shoutout to Maksudul Haque for the amazing and high-quality Django Package contributions over the last six months.

github.com/djangopackages/djan

Maksudul is a good follow on GitHub too: github.com/saadmk11

He has several interesting projects that are worth a few more ⭐s of support. 👏

@CodenameTim @drewbrew let us know if you haven't seen it yet. I was late to work on mine but we have until 11am CT tomorrow to create/submit/join.

🏀 I am happy to say my basketball staycation, and then vacation officially kicked off tonight.

🤼 I have a few community things and a PSF board meeting late Friday afternoon that was moved back, but a lot of basketball mixed in over the next few days. 🏀

❌ I am looking forward to a meeting-free week next week, which is something that I don't think I have been able to say for several years.

📊 We had a couple of interesting Django Packages milestones over the last week:

📈 >17k users
📈 >5k packages
📈 >350 grids

🚀 I personally posted my 100th package today.

There is still plenty to do, but we are slowly getting there brick by brick, week by week. 💪

📊 More stats on our open page.

@drewbrew @paulox @phildini @brettcannon @mariatta sadly, Docker "Official Image" is about as official as we have.

@greg @CodenameTim I suspect I'll be quizzing you for notes in a month or so. I am hoping to only move once.

@greg the documentary is great, plus there are always a few good stories every year that is fun to read as people discover them for the first time. Sounds like pure hell to me.

@greg, since there is little to no visibility, do you want a live stream of Laz smoking and kicking people out for a day?

@benjaminhollon @wsvincent it's not perfect, but it catches more than it flubs to me. Then it gives me a chance to clarify those flubs because it's normally a sign that I need to re-word it either way.
