This is a must watch. No documentary since Citizenfour has a documentary been this important. The live phone call scene is unlike anything I've ever seen before. read more

Jumping on the trend from @Monday this week. I’m not as well traveled as others, but I’m continuing to add to this list each year. My wife and I visited Italy this year and are planning for a trip to Portugal next year. Countries - 5 United States Canada England Mexico Italy - my most … read more

Finished 📺 Barry (2018). The series finale was a ride. Barry was always a show about more than it seems, and one last time Bill Hader and co. delivered just that. The series finale was a fitting conclusion to a wonderful 4 season ride.

Caved and got a Switch. Excited to try Tears of the Kingdom. However I did buy it with the intent to get the wife to play more games or to play with me. She’s been enjoying Fall Guys while I decide what games to actually purchase 😅

Finally finished watching 📺: BEEF (2023). This was a roller coaster of a show. Dark and funny, but a very good reminder for life. Worth the watch!

A decent, gritty, corrupt cop drama. read more

I’m a big fan of Blake Crouch’s Dark Matter. It remains one of my favorite books and fastest book I have ever read. It engulfed me entirely and I adored its every word. Upgrade is worthy of similar praise. Blake Crouch’s ability to deliver the scientific breakdown of concepts … read more

I’m not a privacy nut job, but this is a frighteningly high to me.

“When they are shopping, 66 percent of respondents said they are willing to share their data in exchange for cheaper alternatives.” -From this Yahoo article

I’m not big on AI and ChatGPT. However, I did just use it to tell my brother I am better than him at fantasy baseball. In Shakespearean English. That is quite fun.

Saw this butterfly while walking the dog. I’m not knowledgeable in identifying it, but I thought it was neat that it was so large and took up the whole leaf!

10 years ago today, Snowden leaked his surveillance news. This is a reminder that government’s are not perfect and never will be.

Attending my first Micro @camp! 🏕️

This movie is wonderful. It will never not be timely and relevant. Be kind to others, especially those you might not understand. read more

Finished reading 📚: His Majesty’s Airship by S.C. Gwynne

A book that puts me in awe of the folly of man amidst insurmountable odds and scientific facts that were ignored in favor of political gain. Gwynne is a masterful storyteller in this story about aviation, airships, and man’s stupidity.

Listening to 🎵: The Man Who Sold the World - David Bowie. Been on a kick of 70s rock and 70s country so far this week. Fun fact, the album cover below is not the original American cover.

One of the things I miss most about living in Seattle is the abundance and access to foods from Hawaii. However, I was able to just order a box of goodies from California to scratch this itch.

Apparently Microsoft is raffling off Zune’s in response to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

I miss the dedicated MP3 player times. Zune had some beautiful software, but could never catch up to the iPod.

While I think the script isn't very good, the style and visuals are better than expected. This is not Keanu's best, by any means. But it is a fun ride and something they could have expanded on and created a fun world with. read more

📺 Barry (2018) continues to be one of the best shows on TV. Bill Hader is an unbelievable artist, director, and actor. This is not a show for the faint of heart though.

2 weeks later and have finally started to kick whatever cold or flu I had. Unfortunately we had to reschedule a vacation due to it.

Finished the series finale of 📺 Better Call Saul (2015)! Yes, I’m late to the party, but it was worth it. Adore these characters, universe, and Vince Gilligan.
