Apparently there's a animated 90s film based on Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.

Yesterday I watched the retrospective trailer for Digger, which was confused me to no end. Just now I watched the official trailer, and now I want to see it.

The lid on this new pair wiggles slightly. It feels bad and also doesn't seem great long term.

The noise cancelling on the AirPod Pro 3s is noticeably better than my old 2s.

We went on a guided birding hike this weekend. I didn't see anything I hadn't seen before, but learning the names and being in a group of excited people was a lot of fun.

I bought a VCR from guy in a track suit at the bus station. The audio works, but the video was black until I ran the tape for a bit. Not bad for $30.

Expecting nuance in a discussion about "AI" is apparently too much to ask right now.

I feel it should just roll over after 9,999. On a more serious note why is unread uppercase on iOS and lowercase on macOS? Was there HIG guidance on this at one time?
Screenshot of Apple Mail for iOS the subtitle reads “10,285 Unread”

We re-watched Dumb & Dumber last night. It's still hilarious, but it was a weird cut with extra "jokes" that messed up the pacing and were much darker.

I've been playing around with an Android handheld for a few weeks now. While I'm not crazy about a number of things it is really nice to be able to install whatever I want.

I finished Larry Niven's Ringworld. It had some interesting ideas, but was essentially a weirdly sexist Space Wizard of Oz.

It's very fitting that people explode things and leave a bunch of trash everywhere to celebrate the country. It's probably one of the most American things you can do.
