Finished Reading How Infrastructure Works by Deb Chachra
Watched Adaptation., 2002 - ★★★★½
It's hard not to compare this to Synecdoche, New York (2008) as they obviously cover some of the same ideas of art and artists. The performances here are amazing for the whole cast and it's maybe Nic Cage's best. If you can't find that stuff in life,...
Rewatched The Lego Movie, 2014 - ★★★★½

Liked "Map of the internet | dead.garden"
I love this visualization because it also makes me think how we are sort of traveling at the speed of light to visit each other's "planets"
Watched La cocina, 2024 - ★★★
Watched 魔女の宅急便, 1989 - ★★★★½
Flying used to be fun until I started doing it for a living.

It's been a rough few days but tonight my wife and I got to watch this in an empty theater for its 40th anniversary.

I was planning to do Nicvember where I would try to watch a Nicolas Cage movie every day of the month. That's not going to happen. When I was thinking about Nicvember, I decided to start with something I hadn't seen before and because several people...
Listened to Everybody Scream by Florence + the Machine
Finished Reading I Must Say by Martin Short
Bookmarked "Dithering - Part 1"
What a beautiful little intro to dithering. Can't wait for the next parts.
I made a zine the other day so that I could have a physical copy of Nemik's Manifesto from the Star Wars TV show: Andor. You can read it, print a copy, and share with others if you'd like.
Did Not Finish Madly, Deeply by Alan Rickman, Alan F. Taylor
Watched The Phoenician Scheme, 2025 - ★★★★
Watched Hotel Transylvania, 2012 - ★★★½
Wasnt expecting much but was actually pleasantly surprised. There were a bunch of real funny and memorable moments. Not sure if we'll watch the sequels but we might rewatch this really soon.
Bookmarked "Zine Machine"
I used this to help style my copy of Nemik's Manifesto so it could be printed as a zine.

Watched John Candy: I Like Me, 2025 - ★★★
Finished Reading Creative Act by Rick Rubin
This post is my entry for October's IndieWeb Book Club hosted by Zachary Kai. This month's book is The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. I'm not sure I would've picked up this book had it not been prompted by this book club. Even though I like nonfiction,...

Rewatched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, 2008 - ★★★★
After reading Kottke's post In Praise of Comfort Films I decided to revisit an old favorite. I was lucky to watch this before it's release with the actors present for a Q&A afterwards. By lucky, I mean MySpace had an event where you had to put...
