I love CLI projects that use the terminal as a live display. Can anyone point me to some links to awesome terminal projects that are similar to this?

#112Earlier quoted context omitted.
I found my interest in sports went up when I understood the rules a bit more deeply, and some of the reason why. For instance, basketball for a long time looked really silly to me, and I thought I knew the rules because "we had played some in gym class", but it turns out that I knew almost nothing about it. There's a lot more to the rules about who can be where, and a lot of rules around what your feet are doing and…
Same with the rules, especially for basketball. However, this just made all basketball games interesting to me. To this day, I really cannot empathize with "having a team." I get that it comes off as neckbeardy or holier than thou, but it just seems like arbitrary tribalism - maybe because I moved around a lot as a kid(from BIG SPORT cities, too! Green Bay to Houston to San Francisco), but I never really understood w…

#113I think I'm different in my preferences from most people, but I don't want to know the score for anything I haven't watched yet. I realize I'm in the minority, judging from the amount of effort it has taken to convince my phone to stop popping up notifications ruining every Seahawks game for me from a dozen different sources, and from browsing the Formula 1 website with my eyes closed in the hope of scrolling down to…
I'm looking at writing some apps in the sport area right now. It's quite tricky for rights reasons to get decent coverage, but being able to manage spoilers better would be interesting, and in fact isn't just useful in the domain of sports: TV series, film series, books (by the chapter), etc.
Hmmm.

Don't you control the notifications on your phone? I use the ESPN/Scorecenter app and it even allows you to turn off the final score notifications for your favorite teams. When I DVR a game, I simply avoid social media and "mainstream" news so I see no spoilers.
Google Now or whatever comes preloaded on Nexus phones will figure out things you like and start sending you notifications. They're really hard to kill completely and very determined to tell you sports scores if you ever do a Google search for a team name.
That sucks, I didn't realize how pervasive Google Now had become (as I'm an iOS user)

You work for the NBA?
No; I work in on the Turner side of Adult Swim Digital... but I do get to talk to / see some of those guys pretty often.
