Dec 28, 2025: alter ego

While I waited for new emma to wake up, I finished working my way through a box from zebra breaks holding a bunch of 2025-26 Topps Flagship basketball along with some other flotsam & jetsam from 2024-25. zebra is part of the broader mbb universe and is one of the few breakers that I still engage with a few times a year.

Did you see the first image from that last link? Uncle Jimmy's Breaks? Not me, promise. What are the odds that the first link I pulled to explain what a breaker is has Uncle Jimmy's Breaks in it? Must be a simulation.

While the batch of cards was pretty meh, there's always a banger or two. Here's the funnest giannis (sandglitter) :

And a funner kareem (pink holo foil):

Next, we made a pit stop to see some familiar faces at my dad's xmas part. The bestie circle has grown +1 aden:

After dropping off the little princess with mom and dad, I got back to some work I left hanging this morning. Basically, I can now tag any section of the daily chronicles blog with the alter ego the content attaches too. In this section's example, we are mark2......for reasons that are only important to me for now.

See the lower right of each section to find the latest trick. Tomorrow, hopefully another trick.

Oh, and I almost forgot a trick. I can now link directly to a release, like the the one I'm working in right now to deliver my next set of features. Almost done with that one [86]; there's just one more batch of coding to finish the thought.

Iterate.
