the way the CLZ Blu-Ray collectors app gives a respectful nod to the design language of the classic media hoarder’s app, Delicious Library with this beautiful shelf style display mode. I love little design touches like this.

Ever explored a new hobby and just as you begin to find your footing, you discover that half the community is declaring it’s over / the worst possible time to embrace the hobby? 😅

Post screenshot from a comics forum:

Really?
You REALLY don't get this?
Do any of you submitting have any idea what's going on with the hobby right now? 1 mean.......even the slightest hint?

- scargo (as in Nissan Scargo, a bizarre delivery vehicle my dad borrowed from work once)
- transsport (as in Pontiac Trans Sport “Dustbuster”-style minivan, which we had)

The act of prosecting differs from that of dissecting. A prosector dissects to prepare a prosection.

The act of prosecting differs from that of dissecting. A prosection is a professionally prepared dissection prepared by a prosector – a person who is well versed in anatomy and who therefore prepares a specimen so that others may study and learn anatomy from it. A dissection is prepared by a student who is dissecting the specimen for the purpose of learning more about the anatomical structures pertaining to that specimen. The term dissection may also be used to describe the act of cutting. Therefore, a prosector dissects to prepare a prosection.

The app Hevy does a nice job on their little year-end wrap up report. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who wants to do regular gym visits and have it count/track for you. (I turn off the app’s social features, so it’s just a personal tracker for me)
