Well I guess based on the people I follow, I like podcasts, Star Trek, old PC games and Japan. And stationery. 🇯🇵

Reaching for to pick up a blueberry from the bowl with one hand, and my earbud with another, of course I tried to put the earbud in my mouth. At least I didn't try and squish the berry into my ear.

That was uncanny, woke up in the middle of the night, spidey sense tingling. There was an earthquake but it was barely perceptible, felt I could hear it even. Felt ominous.

Al companies, either by their own volition or not, should name their frontier models after insane machines from science fiction. Skynet. HAL9000. Glados.

@andyhutchinson.com.au watched your review of antinote. Remembered I'd used it before but didn't get into because I wanted one window per note, but your framing of it as leafing through a notebook was good. I think I'll give it another go.

Meta Charm. Jesus fucking Christ. Cynical anthropomorphized data harvesting tool, and I'm not talking about Zuckerberg. Ironically named considered its being presented one of the world's most charmless men.

I was hanging on to Google Assistant as long as I could for one simple reason: it had a translate button which would translate a current view of your screen with a Google lens overlay. Now that assistant has been official retired, I have no need for Gemini since it cannot share to Google lens easily

Apple Reference Image sounds a very smart move. Something that authenticates the veracity of a photo is exactly what we need. I haven't dug into the details, but on the surface it sounds a very clever idea.

I see TNG and DS9 as one long continuation. TNG refined the utopian ideals and ethics of Trek, then DS9 interrogated those ideas to the limit. Those two shows taken together are the best.

I've come up with my ideal notes/daily logging solution. Memento Database with just two columns - an auto time stamped date field, and a rich text field. Create a homescreen shortcut for quick entry. New entries append to the database. Export to CSV as needed manually. I love it.

I've only ever done any serious amount of driving in Japan, despite passing my test back home. It boggles my mind that the fastest I've driven here, per the speed limit, is 50kmph - which would only be 30mph back home. I cannot imagine doing motorway speeds.

Since we're all talking Bond, I don't think it's anyone we expect. I think they're going to go even younger and less well known than Craig was, to give him more time in the role and plan more of an arc.

Mark Zuckerberg (via spokesman): "My yacht could not hear the calls for help." That's a lie and further puts them in even worse light. First, they did stop, so something must have been heard. 2nd, VHF CH16 is the intnl emergency channel all vessels are obliged to follow.
