Person who does tech things. President of @budainfo. Agnostic but philosophical and occasionally that comes out. And football but no good reason why.

45 minutes from Gilman to Science Park? On a Monday afternoon? And website says no delays at all?

@MBTA I literally could have walked faster if I hadn't had surgery recently. What's the deal?

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@DHSgov @GavinNewsom @SenAlexPadilla Hatch act. Please and thank you.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@jmhorp Yes.

Go to your local pub with your friends, get some beers, drink them, have fun. Do the same but now replace the next table with a sedan that's idling.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@theAlexBarrera Nope

@SamyFarns You don't need to subtweet me

@skiwithkevin Can't recommend Smadny Mnich ("Thirsty Monk") highly enough as an apres beverage

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@skiwithkevin Years and years ago (spring of '99), on the Slovakian side, a town called Vysna Boca. Fairly small hill but lots of random off-piste terrain, beautiful little place in the mountains, buddy and I spent <$100 total for 9 days of skiing/lodging/food/beer.

@somershade1 Gas leak

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@MatanRudis Ugh, glad you're okay -- I've been there and know it's a terrifying experience. So so sorry, Matan

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@AppMtnClub (Also, comms, you approved this?!? )

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

Yo @AppMtnClub , having your new VP Eng send an intro email to the entire volunteer list announcing the firing of a project manager (and implicitly blaming the failure of a project on her) seems like a weird choice....

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@AppMtnClub I have no idea why anyone's name needed to be in that email. I've done a lot of tech stuff in my life, writing "it's going worse than we thought, sorry" and moving on never involves a bus.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@tomgara My takeaway from this thread is that there are people who listen to Ezra (or any podcast) at less than 1.5x - an obvious a sign of insanity.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@molly0xFFF @web3isgreat The ROI would beat basically any other check they've written recently....

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@being_ulti As for outreach, the short answer is we don't do enough. BUDA's starting to put together a real marketing strategy for the first time, and this is one of the focuses of that effort.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@being_ulti Around 2014 I ran an analysis going back through the entire league database (going back to 1998ish), and the number hadn't changed meaningfully. It was something like 33% FMP in 2002, 35% in 2014, IIRC.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@being_ulti Makes me think that there may simply be a population size issue.

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

@being_ulti These numbers are from 8 years ago, but this report from Harvard School of Public Health says that adult men play sports at roughly twice the rate of women (35% to 16%): https://t.co/rTLemraee5

[Ian Marlier @tallape]

A great question!

[Being Ulti___Future of Ultimate @being_ulti]

How do you all recruit brand new FMP to leagues in your area? Looking to hear from areas that are lacking in a local college pipeline. If Hawai'i leagues have 110 people sign up, it's usually around 80-30 men to women. Advertising? Hope for the best? Work with other local sports?
