Perhaps the album I’ve enjoyed the most from 2004. Low-fi pop perfection from Mario Hernandez eeniemeenie.bandcamp.com/album/not…
The bear gets it
So I love looking up the judges on my ballot. This year I couldn’t find info on one candidate, their website was literally a static image with no links, no social media presence for the campaign. Local media was also befuddled.
Nice to be reminded how incredibly expensive this thing still is after the price cut. www.theverge.com/2024/10/2…
One interesting use case I’ve come across with ChatGPT is for comparing changes in EULAs, privacy policies, and other things you agree to but never read. At least makes it possible to see what’s changing and get a sense for what’s in the documents.
I came across Tokyo Olympiad on TCM right before the open ceremonies in Paris this year. I didn’t realize it was an iconic documentary, but it immediately touched me. Came across the film looking at the Criterion sale. If you’ve never seen it’s worth it www.youtube.com/watch
Excited for this camera. Only way to get a good lens for Instax wide was the Mint RF or the @cameradactyl Rex, both amazing but pricey options (albeit with full manual control) www.theverge.com/2024/10/2…

I want to open the Raising Cane’s of coffee shops. Like we just have one coffee on the menu and all the items are effectively just variations on quantity.
Beautiful day for football yesterday, shame about the Browns being there.
The lobbying discussion is getting all the attention but the best part is clearly @reckless1280@threads.net laughing at Intuit buying its biggest free filing competitor and selling it off as signs of competition in the market @verge@mastodon.social
Deshaun Watson getting injured every year after objectively terrible performance only to be replaced by an unwanted veteran qb who performs competently is like a Greek mythology punishment.
Aaron Rodger’s performed at “aggregate Browns quarterback” level.
Good gravy, thank you @thedextriarchy@mastodon.social for recommending Paprika! A buy once recipe and meal planner, exactly what I need. Still working through all the nice little touches but it perfectly matches what I need out of a recipe app www.paprikaapp.com
My kids have their own personal Bruce Gilden
I just discovered that Facebook Groups will let you @ everyone in comments. And now I’ve figured out how I can dislike Facebook Groups even more.
Found a 2004 pic that appropriately features my Something Corporate Rolling Rock shirt. What a week @verge@mastodon.social

Waiting for the Guardians to get a clutch hit like
The Sigma DP1 Merrill has a “Foveon Blue” color preset that sometimes just goes insane. The first image was roughly what I saw, but that preset turned pink to orange.
Winamp took down its code from GitHub. It’s almost like doing lip service to open source and expecting to derive value from developers was a bad idea.
This breaks my brain. AMD and Intel working together on x86 development.
The reason I never wanted to go back to DirecTV Stream was the terrible process of unsubscribing, which was impossible to do without calling a rep. In my case, that rep screwed up and I got charged another month. Love these new FTC rules.
2004 was really where I started to get comfortable with my musical tastes. I was doing radio on WRUW and getting exposed to tons of new music. One that always stuck with me was Danger Mouse’s Grey Album mashup. The regular Black album still sounds weird to me, Grey Album is my default
