Finished πΊ 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.

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.

Finished reading π: 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.

Apparently Microsoft is raffling off Zuneβs 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.

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