This is very well made and played. But in the end there was just no real story. I was close to switching this off after the first hour, during which I thought "I don't think I need a film about people in the US arguing over Covid policy and BLM stuff". It picks up speed after this, and you think "now here's what it's about", but then to be disappointed - because: no, it's not (and this happens multiple times). Nothing ever seems to really matter. Except - seemingly - the opening of that data centre, which is the second to last scene. But then, the film's too long IMHO. I don't know. But, yeah, it looks great and has fabulous acting.

This was an entertaining film! Performances are great. It's funny and absurd. How it's made reminded me of Ari Aster movies. And it seemed to me like they made a whole movie out of that dialogue Nic Cage has with the fine dining chef in Pig. Anyway. What makes it miss a recommendation, is maybe that I found it too serious at times and the lack of fleshing out all those guest characters more. And the arguments with which she escapes are kind of a cliché. But man, that burger looked tasty! And how she enjoys it on the boat when all the others explode was actually a good ending IMHO.

Love the music, love the set and costumes, the pretty night shots, the characters, the dialogue, the humour. A pretty perfect movie!

Music, story(ies)

I was inspired by, of all things, a video monologue by a Scottish surfer [1] who said that the future for them was challenging themselves in new ways. My guitar was close by and I thought maybe I should give myself a bit of a challenge too. I picked up my guitar and looked u...

Your AI-generated videos of the Moon sure look impressive. But nothing compares to the real Artemis II footage – they’re almost there 😯:

Filed my 2025 taxes today (electronically). Payments mailed (physically).Earliest in at least a decade, maybe two.Took a very conscious and deliberate effort to get here. Prioritizing, cutting or postponing anything non-urgent, iterating and improving systems year over year (especially in coordination with an accountant), collecting clustering materials earlier, and more.Completing these kinds of "required" tasks/projects sooner feels like it frees up mental (and emotional) bandwidth (not having them occupying daily thoughts) to dream, brainstorm, and make more creative things.

How the Artemis blog works

Artemis has a blog that lists posts I have written about building the software. When I designed the blog, I decided that I wanted to publish posts about Artemis on my own website and then create a list of links to those posts on a dedicated blog page associated with Artemis....

The joy of

Every so often I take notes of things that brought me joy. I write them in my digital notebook in the form "the joy of {thing}". This phrasing lets me encapsulate a feeling and a moment in a sentence. Sometimes I'll go on to write more, other times something like the joy of ...
