Rewatched Mamma Mia!, 2008 - ★★★★½
I added a silly easter egg to my site and today is the first time it could trigger since I added it. Anyways, here's wonderwall...
Watched Local Hero, 1983 - ★★★★
This post is my entry for this month's IndieWeb Movie Club hosted by Thomas. All movies are magical in their own way. Whether it's the idealistic world view that they present, the wonderful characters that bring the story to life, the amazing...
Watched The Fantastic 4: First Steps, 2025 - ★★★½
The good: Fantastic 4, Silver Surfer, and Galactus are hard to do well and this film did them well. The bad: Friend who I watched this with would not stop referencing Renesmee.
Watched Driveways, 2020 - ★★★★½
I think this quote sums it up pretty well: I wish we could do that whole trip all over again. We'd be a little more deliberate this time. Drive a little slower, take our time. Take a good look at stuff. For an under 90 minute movie, this really...
After 5 years, I (finally) updated my micropub endpoint. It should be a little easier to deploy and configure which would hopefully make it possible for more people that use static site generators to use a micropub endpoint. Check out...
Finished Reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Bookmarked "agoodmovietowatch | TV Show & Movie Suggestions"
My watchlist is already long enough but being able to sort by mood is a nice feature.
Liked "IndieWeb is Metal"
Finished Reading Stories Are Weapons by Annalee Newitz
I made it!
Finished Reading Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You by Peter Cameron
Watched Materialists, 2025 - ★★★
I got whiplash watching this. My expectations were high because Past Lives is probably in my top 10, but this is a very different thing. I think there is some interesting commentary about dating, class, and love but in the end it's just fine.
I'm very excited that there will be an HTML Day event in Minneapolis this weekend. Hoping the AQI gets better by then but I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else will work on.
Finished Reading All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Finished Reading Autonomous by Annalee Newitz
Watched Four Mothers, 2025 - ★★★★
Bookmarked " Turning a toy into a cyberdeck - YouTube"
I found a "Little Talking Scholar" by VTech at a local vintage store and jokingly posted about it on Mastodon. Attoparsec saw it and actually decided to make it a reality. The internet is amazing!
Bookmarked "Cuttle"
If you ever find your self with a standard deck of cards and 2-4 people, this is a nice card game to try.
Finished Reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Watched Les Triplettes de Belleville, 2003 - ★★★★
This post is my entry for this months IndieWeb Movie Club hosted by Mark Sutherland. Sometime in 2008, I bought a Nintendo DS Lite. I don't remember what games I bought for it when I first got it, but one of the games I got soon after was Professor...

Finished Reading Human Nature by Kate Marvel
Rewatched Shaun of the Dead, 2004 - ★★★★★
I should rewatch this trilogy more often than I do.
Finished Reading Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky
This little buddy has dug themselves a burrow in one of our garden boxes. Pretty sure they are also eating the watermelons O has been attempting to grow for the past two years.
Watched Thunderbolts*, 2025 - ★★★½
I like that this movie didn't waste too much time explaining the backstory of every single character. This is something that even Captain America: Brave New World did recently which I did not enjoy. On paper, I should love David Harbour's character...
Rewatched Election, 1999 - ★★★
