The toxic work environment stories about Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show don’t surprise me. What surprises me is that anyone would think they could still get away with this type of behavior after all the other articles done on other shows. Just be kind.
Apple TV has released an 8 Hour Work Day Innie Mix for Severance fans. 📺
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.
I’ve been using NetNewsWire and iCloud for RSS syncing. The problem with that is I want something that will sync on Linux too. Luckily, my shared hosting plan has plenty of resources so I was able to install FreshRSS to use as a sync backend. Now I can sync with a Linux feed reader, like News Flash.
On this date in 1988, Zero Cool is fined for crashing 1,507 computer systems, which caused a seven-point drop in the New York Stock Exchange. In honor of the anniversary, I’ll be watching the documentary Hackers tonight.
I love history and I love hip hop so I loved reading about how an East St. Louis radio station made history by playing Rapper’s Delight.
Now listening to the album Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them by Bruno Pernadas. 🎵
I’ve been using Callsheet from Casey Liss for a few months on the beta. I love it. I deleted the IMDB app from my phone, that’s how good Callsheet is.
I love comedian Paul F. Tompkins and his appearance on the podcast Good One, explaining his famous “Peanut Brittle” bit, is fantastic. If you like comedy give it a listen.
This is what I’m listening to today, Atmosphere - Sad Clown Bad Dub II.
