I went to bed last night after closing my Mintbook with almost a full battery. Wake up this morning to a 9% charge. Plugged it in and after about 20 minutes it still said 9%. Rebooted the machine and now it’s at 98% (so I’m guessing it was really never at 9% to begin with). Linux is fun sometimes.

I’m so close to purchasing the Lectric XP 3.0 Step-Thru Long-Range ebike. Before I do, does anyone out there have horror stories that would make me want to stay away?
Now listening to the album 99 Nights by Charlotte Cardin. 🎵
You can only get The Distinguished Gentleman on DVD. It’s not available for download or streaming anywhere. Good thing I still have my DVD copy and ripped it. 🍿
If you’re looking for a fun Animal Crossing-style game, check out Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Apple Arcade. Hits the same notes as Animal Crossing with crafting and lots of quests and works great with an Xbox controller on the Apple TV. 🎮
RKO 281 is one of my favorite movies about Hollywood despite only seeing Citizen Kane once back in a high school film class. I think it’s time to give Citizen Kane another viewing. 🍿
I loved Jason Snell’s article on how the iMac saved Apple. I never had one of those iMacs, but I wanted one. My first Mac was the white plastic Macbook. I was too cheap to shell out another $50 for the black one.
I have the new Xbox dashboard. In order to use the new background feature, where it puts game art as the background, you have to set your background back to the default and then it will work.
I really loved this Most Iconic Hip-Hop Sample of Every Year (1973-2023) video. Hat tip Kottke.
Oceanhorn 2 is a fun little Zelda-style game that just came out on the Xbox.
