Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Nothing induces panic quite like getting a phone call from my therapist on the one day that I am actually in the office, surrounded by my nosy-ass coworkers.

I went to the doctor's office today for my first insomnia therapy appointment, and it turns out it is, in fact, tomorrow. If that doesn't sum up my current state of mind, I don't know what does.

It's hard to tell if I'm so tired because of *gestures to everything* or because I can't sleep. There probably is a correlation there, however.

A ★★★½ review of Resident Evil (2026)
A decent way to waste some time on a Sunday afternoon. Fun, but left almost no impression on me afterwards. A meaningless journey, movie junk food equivalent. I'm enjoying watching Zach Cherry's nasty...

Basically, I don't trust Silicon Valley to support my interests or the interests of anyone who isn't mega-rich. I used to. When I did, computers and associated developments were exciting, my primary interest. Now I don't.

Just in case you ever have impostor syndrome, remember that in 2011, workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory brought six kilograms of plutonium together to take a picture to show their management. The amount was enough to start a chain nuclear reaction if they had been slightly closer.

I think one of the reasons why I have such a visceral reaction to AI nonsense is that 25+ years of programming has taught me to deeply distrust the computer, and I view people running to use the computer to make all their decisions as a mistake that only someone without enough experience would make.
