I hated the squat minigame in the 1997 release of Final Fantasy (Wall Market gym). Somehow, in the remake, they preserved all the qualities that I hated so much in the version from almost 30 years ago. #FinalFantasy #FFVII #VideoGames

Severeace (Apple TV) is a horror. People don't tell you that. #AppleTV #Severance

Looking at this old footage from when I drove through a desert out west. Wondering why the footage from my iPhone looks so desaturated. :-( One day I'll do some color grading on this. youtu.be/T2RZ8CilhDI?... #desert #video

Now, to see what this show is all about. I watched a couple of episodes before a storm took my power out. It feels like a "slice of life" anime with a person on a quest to tie loose ends. The dub voice actor sounds like Lord Ainz (Overlord). #anime #frieren

The year is 2025. I own an MP3 player. I still use it. #anachronism

Late night last night. These time zone differences can be brutal. I was about to relax when a QA person in Washington State sent me a report of a problem at 7:47pm. The problem could not wait because it affected a meeting today. The fix was simple. But that notice was kind of late.

I used to keep quiet during #BlackHistory months. It's not my month, it's my time to shut up and listen. And I learned a LOT that way. But now, we can't have it being erased. Defend the past and engage the future-- Be another Fannie Lou Hamer. 😁 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fannie_...

I keep using Windows Notepad for purposes for which the Sticky Notes application would be more appropriate. This is a habit that I need to change.

I know what Section 230 is, but when people say "We need Section 230 for AI" I'm usually not sure what they mean, or that two people saying it mean the same thing. It would be nice if these statements independently described what is desired. #Politics #Law #AI #Computing #Computers #Algorithm

To the person that held their horn down behind me when I rapidly decelerated, I promise you, there was a good reason in front of me for me to do it! youtu.be/C89Ms9f5oxM #Driving #Traffic

The office replaced the 4 Charge Point EV chargers (not free) with 6 generic chargers (free). Competition for them is fierce. I think I just won't use them. At most, using them could save me up to 4 USD per week. It just doesn't feel worth it. #EV #ElectricCars

Calling this a failed experiment. Flower time-lapse videos are not as interesting as I had hoped. youtu.be/zdyNisPRAGE?... #time-lapse #flowers

Packaging a file in WinRAR is a great way to make me lose interest in the contents.

I tried to explain to my sister Madam M's venue in Final Fantasy VII. My explanation was true. My sister said the explanation was full of crap. Two things can be true at once. #VideoGames #FinalFantasyVII

Well, this experiment is almost over. I'm glad this was only experiment. I tried to video this flower doing what flowers do (the camera is still recording it now). During this shoot, the memory card ran out of memory, the flower moved out of the focus plane, and I had to move the camera. #Flowers

Damn, if I install both parts of Final Fantasy VII, it will take up close to 250 Gigs of hard drive space. I'm tempted to install a drive just for this game. #VideoGames #FinalFantasyVII

I did the math. It cost me about 8 USD in electricity to drive 300 miles. I need to get my Mile's per Dollar on my gas car to compare. #EV #Electricity

I miss when grocery stores had a line for 10 items or less. They appear to have been assimilated into the system of as many items as you like, but you have to check out yourself. In-store experiences suck. #shopping #groceries

Getting some work done while I listen to Book 3 of "The Expanse" (titled "Chibola Burn"). The Miller Proto-molecule being is a bit creepy. #SciFi #Books

Watching Season 2 of Castlvania Nocturn. The way Alucard's sword move is somehow a little disturbing. It is almost as though the sword is magnetic and is swinging to align with a spontaneously produced magnetic field. #Castlevania #Anime

Watching Goosebumps (2025) on Disney+. Of all the scenarios that they've shown, the one where the girl started uncontrollable burping at the interview was the one that was most horrific to me. Possibly because it was the most realistic situation so far. #Goosebumps #Horror

I just got the West World Blu-Ray set. Why physical Blu Ray? WW isn't available for streaming on Max any more. It is cheaper to purchase the Blu Ray than to stream. My Internet isn't unlimited. It is safer to get the disc than to risk paying data overage charges. #WestWorld
