Started watching Silo last night. If this ends up as yet another “people in some kind of experiment while the rest of the world gets on” a la The Village, Ascention, and a thousand other sci-fi stories, I’m going to be pissed.

For my fellow cable neat freaks out there.

Do I spend catastrophic amounts of money on a new iPhone, or do I spend an OK amount and just get the battery in this iPhone 12 mini replaced?

The new iPhone 15 colours are so weak. What’s the point? I want a banana yellow phone, not a yellowed transparent phone. A bright green, not a mould growing on the inside green. And the colours on the pros? So unimaginatively boring.

I normally sport a luxurious beard. Decided to start from scratch again on Saturday as I couldn’t be bothered trimming and it was annoying. So off it came. Fam, how you you guys deal with there being no barrier? Stuff just ending up in your face? It’s so weird!

🎶 Such a perfect day Got out of bed around 2 Then later, a movie too All at home

Such a perfect day YouTube videos about sharks Then later, when it get dark, I’m still home

Oh it’s such a perfect day, I’m glad I spent it alone. Such a perfect, I’m just staying put at home. 🎶

Ladies and gentlemen, half a terabyte.

I’ve had an Insta360 X3 as my commuter helmet cam for about a year now. I’ve had a 128 GB SD card, which give me ~2 hours of recording. I found that a little limiting so I’ve upgraded to 512 GB. It says over 9 hours of video recording which is, oof, so good.

Received the wall mounting bracket for my TV today. Was going to tidy the house this evening, but guess I’ll be drillin’!

My eBike has been outside overnight at my space constrained house for the last 2 months. I’ve been brainstorming (LOL) how to keep the weather off. A fold away shed($$). A bike pod tucked next to the house($$$). Wheeling it inside (yuk). The solution? A bike cover/jacket ($50).

I hope the movie Dune 2 heavily features the Ordos.

This morning on my morning commute I rode by a bakery as they were making cookies. Like flying through a delicious cloud. Only downside (upside?) is now all my clothes smell of cookies.

The very worst drink for someone with ADHD is a cup of tea. You can’t drink it immediately. It has to sit there for 5–10 minutes, cooling. 3 hours later you remember you made yourself a cup of tea.

This seems like an insane way to wall-mount a TV.

It’s still bemusing that, in the year of our lord two thousand and twenty three, there still isn’t an easy, open, decentralised way to send a file over 25 MB to someone.

Strange Planet on Apple TV+, is incredible. Just… watch it.

It’s insane that the Netflix doesn’t let their Apple TV app do interactive stuff.

At work there’s a bike lock up area in the building, the size of a small car. Today was a nice winters day, so it was jam packed full. 8 bikes. With some proper racking you could fit 12. The geometry of people using bikes is literally an order of magnitude better than cars.

I started my watching of season 2 of Foundation perfectly. 4 episodes out so far. Watched 3 so far. One tonight. Tomorrow night is Star Trek SNW night (season finale!) and then a new Foundation on Friday night. Also have to watch Silo.

I’m about to watch the last half of, what has so far been an utterly underwhelming program, called Secret Invasion.

I liked the musical episode of Star Trek Strange New Worlds, in concept. But the lyrics in the songs were… oof. So bad.

Except the Klingon routine. That was hilariously good.

Feeling good at work → Start watching corporate software training video → Brain instantly goes into sleep mode and it’s a battle to keep my eyes open → Stop watching, back to being productive and awake.

I’ve found a solution to my insomnia, whanau.

How. Is. It. AUGUST!?

I laughed more in one episode of the new season of Futurama than I did in 3 full seasons of Solar Opposites.
