My Birthday is February 1st

This originally appeared in my newsletter.

Normally I invite my friends to go out and get me drunk, but this year that ain’t happening. Normally I don’t make a big deal about it, but I am leaning in to having birthdays this year. Here are some suggestions if you want to buy me a gift:

  • I have an Amazon wishlist
  • Sick-ass guitar pedals of any type (I already have an MT-2 so not that?)
  • Weird electronics projects
  • Old video games
  • You can send me money via PayPal, or Cash App
  • Become a paid subscriber to my newsletter
  • Become a Patron for as little as $3/mo
  • Gift cards (esp grocery stores) are also appreciated, send to phil@extrafuture.com

The absolute best, free, thing you can do for me is to share my Patreon, my Newsletter, or my Twitch channel on your social feeds! It is bananas how much even one of you sharing these posts increases the subscribers, traffic, and helps keep me on this side of financial solvency. Tell your friends. It helps.

Thank you!

Divergent League Baseball now has a podcast called Divergent League Update

Two of the things I’ve wanted to do since day one with Divergent League are coming true this season: Season Tickets (coming soon) and Divergent League Update, our weekly podcast. It’ll have stats, standings, and occasional talk about how our season is different than “real life.”

This first update is a short one, at just 2 minutes. In the future you can expect to find interviews with league owners, polls, and more. As always, thanks to the owners and my Patrons for supporting Divergent League. You can too!

You can get the feed in your preferred podcatcher, as I’ve submitted it to Apple, Google, Stitcher, and Spotify.
