Doesn't matter how many times I rewatch. The end of season 2 of Hannibal is always just as devastating as the first time I watched it. I can remember exactly where and when it was when I first saw it. For me it was one of those television moments that made me see the world very differently indeed.

Quite enjoying the New Florence+Machine thing. Always the multilayers a bit overwhelming. Takes a while for my ear to find something to latch onto in all the songs. To be fair, I had that problem with all her previous albums as well though.

Microsoft yet again shoe horning things into their products (and down our throats) that no one wants, or arguably, cares about.

My first week at Uni. And that Wonderstuff Exp was on repeat play in my room in halls.
Fancy seeing the top 10 pop chart as seen on Teletext #OnThisDay 1993 in which the Pet Shop Boys was number 1 with Go West.

It's taken me 35 years and five ZX Spectrums to complete The Hobbit. Feels like a bigger deal than buying my house or having my family. I kept this quest secret for so long, I can only mention it here. Now I'm finally in a comfy tunnel-like hall, feeling like I've won at life.

TurtleWoW have been in the news because Blizzard are going after them. I thought it was just another emulated server, ptw, rmt etc. It's anything but. Pretty impressive. And the Unreal Engine client they're working on looks pretty rad. Oh what could have been! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8inw...

Trying my hand at "Vibe Coding". When it works it's pure magic. When it doesn't work... Today's example. I have a web page with a list. I can move items up and down. It spent an hour failing to move a specific entry because it "forgot" that arrays start at 0 and it was counting the web list from 1.

What happens if you let AI run a vending machine? Actually autonomously managing a money-making process is a very good test for AI.
Anthropic did exactly that, and it lost money. But the flaws (& strengths) provide a great lens on what AI is good and bad at, and how those gaps might be closed.

The Red Riding trilogy is on Netflix as of last week. Just rewatched the first one and it's just as powerful as the first time I saw it way back when. Feel like I've been hit around the head with a heavy blunt object and may need a lie down. Content warning: it's grim, very grim, but very very good.

Just had another play through of Dishonored, reaaaaally enjoyed it. Thought I'd give Dishonored 2 another go and had forgotten they changed the VA for the Outsider. Urgh.

I'm doing the 1,000 album thing. If you've got album recommendations please do message them to me. I'll take as many as you've got! I think I'm currently at something like 440, but that includes 'will get back to you' responses. Who knew making a list of 1,000 things would be hard?

Nice to see this new season of Black Mirror has returned to previous form of having episodes that leave you utterly emotionally destroyed. I think I need a lie down.

I may come to regret this but I've started playing Fallen London again. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed seeing the emails from the game in my mailbox. Good times.

Successful day at the local record fair. FOTN "Dawnrazor", PJH "Stories from the City", JMarr "Fever Dreams pts 1-4", PSB "Rent" 12 inch. All of which were on my discogs 'want' list and thus guilt free. Which is nice. The 12" mix of that PSB single goes rather harder than I'd expected, recommended!

Until @davidgerard.co.uk mentioned it last night, I'd never read any Last War in Albion. Linked article is about someone who has been in the news. But! If you're into comics of the 90s Moore/Morrison era, I highly recommend going back through previous episodes. You won't regret it!
