Finished Reading Witch King by Martha Wells
Watched Superman, 2025 - ★★★★½
This is the real punk rock
Watched F1, 2025 - ★★★½
For all it's flaws, I think this movie makes up by making me want to learn more and watch F1.
Watched Micro Men, 2009 - ★★★
This came up in a recent conversation about Halt and Catch Fire and I know it also previously came up in a Homebrew Website Club so I finally watched it. I think I expected to learn more about the actual machines since I have no actual connection to...
Listened to Everybody Scream by Florence + the Machine
Rewatched Shrek, 2001 - ★★★★½
We just watched this last month but they were showing this in theaters so it felt like a great opportunity to see this on the big screen with O and F. It went pretty well for a first movie theater experience for both of them.

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...

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.

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.
