I saw Primetime last night! Great performances, but very disorienting, especially in the first third. I also feel like every Merritt Weaver performance is an AU of Zoey from Nurse Jackie. dstaley.com/movies/2026-09-25...

still thinking about the minneapolis retail store employee who asked me to spell minneapolis while giving them my address.

Just had the privilege of invoking Minnesota's Digital Fair Repair Act with a company that refused to provide a replacement part, but would accept the entire unit for service. It's literally a two-inch water intake filter. I'm not shipped an entire bidet back and forth just to have that installed.

If you are waiting on one single machine of which your gym only has one, without fail someone will be Doing Jazz on said machine. Mermaid kicks on the Smith machine? Sure. Cirque du Soleil away, dude.

So excited to start reading this! I loved Sea of Tranquility and the blurb for this one gives me the same vibes.

inspired by the incredible Lynn Fisher and her concert archive, I decided to comb through nearly two decades worth of movie ticket confirmation emails to build a list of every movie I've seen in theaters. here's the most recent one (which was very good!) dstaley.com/movies/2026-...

Shoutout to Ambrosia Software for releasing essentially a keygen for all their software after the company shut down! Love that I can still use some of these apps and games.

Yes, only planning on swapping the hard drive to an SSD.

Sadly this one is in very poor condition, but I’m trying to acquire another because I do enjoy the keys that work 😂

not yet! First order of business is fixing the optical drive, and replacing the RAM, HDD, and battery while I’m in there. Then the fun can start! Excited to see what Mac OS 9 software I can play in classic mode on Tiger.

jealous! The first Mac I had any extensive use of was the one my mom bought for me before junior year of high school. Before that was all windows

Inspired by similar policies from @ethanmarcotte.com, @tylersticka.com, @danny.is, and more, I've added an AI statement to my website. Basically, if you see my name, you can be assured that whatever nonsense follows was the result of my hands on a keyboard. dstaley.com/ai

I hate how much I like it :(

wasn't paying attention and bought a $23 deodorant that I regret to inform you all is actually quite nice

from here on out I kindly request that all photos of me be taken with New Nintendo 3DS XL. Thank you for your attention to this matter 🙇

I know it doesn't look like much, but this is a Genius playlist generated on an iPod containing songs released in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Considering Apple stopped updating Genius data over a decade ago I think this is pretty exciting!

really getting my money's worth out of my a-list subscription this weekend with tickets to Your Name (which I haven't seen), The End of Oak Street, and La La Land!

Still pissed I was tearing up at that moment and Nolan decides to capitalize on that emotional thread for Telemachus to realize who the beggar is. I was emotional over the dog not over the son meeting the absentee father!!!

you ever write a nice little function and spend the next several hours just admiring how nice it is? love me a good lil function

Dylan Staley @dstaley.com · 03/08/2026

if you still use an iPod and know what this means, I am cooking up something exciting for you. Stay tuned!

tfw you realize the codepath you’re trying to reverse engineer is actually on the fifth generation iPod nano, so now you get to spend another two hours decrypting the firmware

Dylan Staley @dstaley.com · 02/08/2026

heads up the internal AES hardware of the fourth generation iPod nano is much slower than that of the sixth and seventh, so budget more time for firmware decryption. just in case that's relevant to your Sunday activities.

also, follow up: whoever decided to put Newark there DEFINITELY had a sense of humor

okay but like given the circumstances are we absolutely sure they didn’t just say new york

will always be funny to me when artists say the name of the suburb the venue is in instead of the major metro area because why was Hilary Duff like "how are you doing Shakopee?!"
