Mariah Carey’s Dreamlover was released in 1993.
Thanks to THE HOOD INTERNET I now remember that I am old.
Overdue for cleaning.
Vinyl Record Speculators
Nick Heer writing about “The Social Network”
I cannot think of a better pairing of score to standalone film in recent memory than the soundtrack to “The Social Network”. It is also a great standalone record. Speculators have pushed up its price for years, but it has just been reissued with its original cover art.
TIL there are vinyl record speculators.
Also, Nick completely forgets about any Chris Nolan film with a Hans Zimmer soundtrack.

Steve Layman shares some “muddle” about complaining when you consult “The Oracle Google” if complaining is good for you.
It reminded me of the phrase
Give me the strength to change the things that I can change. Give me the wisdom to know the things that I can not change.
Last year I had dreams of visiting Maine in the fall, right around this week or so, to spend a week driving around, hiking, and looking at the color change of the foliage. That didn’t happen because of Covid.
I’m hoping that sometime in the future, hopefully next year, that trip will be something that I can take.
I watched The Witcher series on Netflix over the course of a week or so. Two episodes a night so not a binge watch. It was … interesting.
I have no experience with the novels or the games (even though I have purchased both), I just haven’t gotten around to enjoying them yet.
Overall, I enjoyed the story. The timeline jumping was confusing at first, but once I knew what was happening in relation to the episodes already watched I liked that it made me think about where in the story the episode took place. I think it was a novel way to avoid the banner that most shows throw up, e.g. “10 years ago” or “Present Day”. Just tell the episode and let the viewer figure it out. It’s a nice way to tell people, “you’re smart enough to figure this out without having to be spoonfed everything”.
Looking forward to spending some time reading the books and playing the games to see what the source material is like.
Just removed all the channels I had active and deleted my IFTTT account. Now it’s time to trim the services I use to pretend I’m tracking my tasks and to do’s.
So many things that need to be done and no motivation to start doing them.
It is time to get planning.
I would totally buy a Pixel tablet from Google.
A 10 inch tablet with the same physical design as the Pixel 4 would feel fantastic in the the hand.
One thing that Apple could learn from Google is how to update their software faster. I received a new iPhone SE for my work phone yesterday and I’ve been on the Software Update for 10 minutes and the update hasn’t even started yet. With my Pixel phones updates take 2-5 minutes.
It’s September. Somehow. Even though it still feels like March.
That means it is Hobonichi buying time.
Just placed me yearly order.
I love the idea of the Microsoft Surface Duo. It looks amazing. Too bad the reviews are out and the software is less than optimized for the 2 screens.
Perfedtly Reflected Swiss Landsacpes
These are perfect and I wish I could take something half as good as these photos.
Simply amazing.
Why is it that technology pundits seem to think that in the future everything will be technology? I mean, how do they think that people will eat? If everything is technology then who will feed the world? We’ll just get our nutrition from technology?
Still amazed at how fast the United States went from “This is s serious national safety issue” to “fuck it, we’re all going to die anyway”.
Also, I cant believe how many selfish people there are in this country that can’t seem to care about their fellow human beings.
