I've built a Twitter bot that tracks NFL games and reports the chances that they'll end in Scorigami:

Unfortunately, that website was not run by me. I haven't heard from the person who built it recently, and don't know if they have plans to bring it back. However, I can say that the

He was a consummate professional who never let his role as arbiter of American Intelligence get to his head. He was the perfect game show host, letting the game and the contestants be the stars. There won't be another one like him. He'll be missed.
Jeopardy! is saddened to share that Alex Trebek passed away peacefully at home early this morning, surrounded by family and friends. Thank you, Alex.

I love that people are giving me grief for betting $0 in Final
#Jeopardy
each of these last three games.
If I had bet the largest wager possible each time that would still guarantee the victory, I would have earned ... (checks calculator) ... negative $3,401.

This was way too low, since basically any score (or even ending in a tie) would have been Scorigami at this point. I'm going to have to pop the hood open this week and figure out what went wrong.

I'm going to guess that the NFL did something to the caching settings in their score feeds, because the

bot has been sporadically been getting fed old data, causing it to double-tweet updates. I've made a couple of changes that should fix it.

This was from this year's Trivia Conference of North America. There's always a great team music quiz, and one of the audiovisual rounds this year featured clips from your reviews, where the question was to name the song/artist you were talking about.

I'm a pretty risk averse guy, and when its a runaway, that's your own actual money you're betting with. I knew that if I bet an amount and lost it, I'd be beating myself up over it, and that negative mindset could affect me in the next game.

While they wait for the release of Animal Crossing, my wife and daughter have been playing Super Mario Odyssey. They've spent the postgame gathering all the purple coins to buy every outfit and souvenir.
I now realize they've found a way to turn Odyssey into Animal Crossing.

I'm back from my trip to LA, and from the Jeopardy soundstage. And I don't quite believe that it happened. I'm not sure when the reality of it will sink in, maybe when I watch the show? The scheduled air date is July 20th, which seems like an eternity from now.
