Remembering this classic album on Spotify, featuring hits such as I Am Awesome at Powerpoint Presentations, I Am Relevant in the Workplace and I Have a Firm and Confident Handshake https://open.spotify.com/album/5miVb8JRLWBW6FAtMDLIks?highlight=spotify:track:0OlmimnwleKF7RoPcSjzJh

It’s hard for me to properly express how much I hate what Spotify (and other streaming music services) have done to music. https://onezero.medium.com/why-spotify-has-so-many-bizarre-generic-artists-like-white-noise-baby-sleep-c9ce09dc9002

Discovered that a Shuji Terayama CD-ROM I bought comes with a Hypercard reproduction of a tarot deck he created with artist Nanami Utsuki. Features the full deck, with descriptions of the unique cards, and tarot-dealing mode.

Aside from the traditional tarot cards, it has a variety of unique cards with themes as out there as Criminal Business Association, Telephone Skills, and Artificial Eye Engineering.

I (almost) beat the main campaign in Ring Fit! The last boss was a doozy. Definitely going to keep using it to exercise regularly; it’s got a new game plus mode. Still amazed at how great it is, and I’m for sure more fit now than when I started.

I just read Umma’s Table by Yeon-Sik Hong. It’s an excellent depiction of a family struggling to reconnect, and how food connects family over generations.

Just a warning though: if you, like me, lost a parent recently, it’s a tough read.

Here’s something fun: we have a TiBook with DVI output, and we’ve paired that with a DVI to HDMI converter that has an embedded USB audio device. The result: we get pure-digital HDMI, with audio, in a format that’s compatible with modern monitors, TVs, and capture devices.

The transparency on the Canadian COVID exposure tracking app is fantastic. It’s using the Apple/Google API and is great on privacy, too.

Sample code in programming books is art, and this is a great one.

First time seeing this permission dialogue. Yes, the Canadian app is using the Apple/Google API built in to the OS; I’m really happy about that!

Also, as pointed out by @shadsy, the Earth in the same scene is a sphere-mapped version of the System 7.5 world map.

Now here’s a deep cut reference: as pointed out by @ravenworks, the space stadium from the ending of Ganbare Inu-chan is a direct reference to the gameplay arena from Pararena.
