February in the Marvel Bicentennial/Sesquicentennial calendar is Hulk month.
On this day, the late comic book artist Rich Buckler was born. Learned that he drew the comic that came with the C64 game Spider-Man and Captain America in Dr Doom's Revenge.
Also Waitangi Day - the start of New Zealand.

Completed my third read of 2026!
A fanzine for the Commodore 64 with what would be like cheat codes in the gaming console sphere. Really liked the energetic vibe.

Finished the 'How AI Works' course in the Brilliant app.
Very informative; but for a non-coding course, the two sections using Python at the end felt out of place. They didn't explicitly tie it back to AI either although I could see how they were related.
Should have been in the Python course.

Completed my 2nd #book of 2026!
The Commodore 64 Book is a celebration of the Commodore 64 from the games, the SID (sound chip), companies, and magazines. A great trip down memory lane; and it creates the itch to fire up a C64!

I don't often post about politics on here.
Based on the overall characterization of Steve Rogers in the decades-long continuity of Marvel Comics, I can't fathom Captain America being a supporter of ICE in its current form.
Heck, Steve would likely ditch the Cap ID during this turbulent ICE time.

The original bicentennial calendar didn't include an assortment of holidays that the sesquicentennial caldendar does.
One such is that today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

I was looking foward to pointing out that not only is today Australia Day, the first permanent settlement of Australia by European; but Comic Book artist Sal Buscema's birthday.
Alas, Sal Buscema passed away recently. I remember his Spectaular Spider-Man, Defenders, and Captain America art.
RIP

Completed my first #book of 2026 recently! Okay, an #audiobook to be precise.
Code Name: Pale Horse is about an undercover FBI agent who inflitrated many groups including actual Nazis.

My 22nd read of 2025 was another quick read but a holiday one as on Christmas Eve a hitwoman has second thoughts.
Second thoughts her employer doesn't take kindly to.

Eighteen out of 25 #books during 2025 was an #audiobook. The first in the Runelords series, The Sum of All Men.
This is the kind of fantasy I grew up on; and I wish I read/listened to this sooner.

My 17th read of 2025 was a story of cosmic horror experienced by a duo snagged upon an island of willows written by an author who inspired HP Lovecraft.

Another 'single' for my 13th out of 25 reads during 2025.
A thriller that I did not predict the ending but all the clues were there.
Also the first time I've read Freida McFadden.

One side effect of ebooks is short stories and novellas are available for individual sale much like buying a single instead of a music album.
My 12th book is one of those as a fading celeb winds up on date with a stalker.
This would have worked better as a novel.

The 11th #book out of 25 total read during 2025 is a history book; and if you're a US citizen could be argued a patriotic read.
American Spring is primarily focused on New England details many of those figures and events more in-depth than a high school history class.
