Love a good overlapping episodes film. Really well done here. It's scary, evil, creepy, suspenseful and manages to keep you hooked and waiting for more the entire time. I'm not quite sure yet how I liked some of the humorous and excessively gory parts; I'm not sure, if a more toned down approach would have served the atmosphere a little better. But overall, two hours very well spent!
👍 Recommended!

I‘m actually surprised that Anthropic didn’t fold. But not surprised at all that eager Sam is picking up the slack with OpenAI.

Updated my workshop Mac mini to #Tahoe and wow. Either I’m getting old or this is really bad UI design. (…or both 😁) I’m not talking about the weird alignment of elements and rounded corners that are all over the place, although that’s surprising to see as well. More the hard to read text on semi-transparent, blurry elements that also lack contrast. This really trips me up as someone with regular migraines with auras. I constantly feel like a migraine is about to start … 😕

A promise you adjust when circumstances change isn’t exactly a promise, right? 🤔

Pens, sleeves, and whiteboards
When I was in high school, I used to keep a pencil or pen up my sleeve. I don’t remember anyone else doing it, or why I started. But if I had a pen up my sleeve, I would at least know I had one nearby for when I’d need one. (I may be mis-remembering whether having a pen up m...
Dopplr colours
Last year I was introduced to the idea of “Dopplr colours” in the IndieWeb community. This refers to an accent colour assigned to cities on the now-defunct travel website Dopplr. You can see examples by clicking through different Dopplr city pages in the Internet Archive and...
