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. 🍿
I would love an open world Batman game set in art deco Gotham City that focused more on detective work than combat. 🎮
My dog dreams on a regular basis, but last night was ridiculous. He woke me up four separate times making noises in his sleep while dreaming.
This has been a really long week and it’s only Wednesday. At least I’m off on Friday. Also, I’m done with this heat. I’m ready for fall.
T-Mobile’s 5G is faster than my 1 Gbps plan with Spectrum.
MLS really needs to add RSS to their site. There are some writers I would read more regularly if I could subscribe. I’d even settle for integration with Apple News, which is baffling that it’s not there already.
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. 🍿
Trying to unpair and repair my Apple Watch to see if that resolves the battery issues I’ve been having since 9.6. I’m not expecting it to work, but it’s worth a shot.
People make fun of recipe sites for telling you the entire history of each ingredient and the chef before the actual recipe. Entertainment sites are just as bad. Want to find out if there is a post-credit scene in a movie? Prepare to read the entire history of cinema before they tell you.
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 watching Saved by the Bell: The New Class for the first time. Here’s how I’ll sum up my thoughts: I love the original despite how bad it is, I love The New Class because of how bad it is. 📺
There is a Saved by the Bell channel on Prime Video’s Live TV feature. It’s amazing how we’ve progressed as a society. 📺
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. 🎵
