While expensive and hard to buy, I’m excited to receive my Analogue 3D soon. It warmed my heart seeing a bunch of kids playing N64 Super Smash Bros in Russ’ review.
I fell in love with video games after seeing Samus Aran do a beam charge in that game. Totally blew my mind as a kid.

We lost power for an hour right around sunset today with 30°F weather and it highlighted just how underprepared I am for these situations. We almost had to order delivery and I almost bought a big battery.

Very much enjoying Pluribus on Apple TV. Fascinating premise. You know you’re in good hands with Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seahorn.

We just finished watching the incredible, outstanding season 5 of Fargo with Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, and Lamorne Morris (my boy Winston won an Emmy! Temple and Hamm were nominated). We cruised through seasons 1-3 at the end of 2023 and like a present season 5 was just waiting for us.

Today I bought a Kermit hand puppet (Muppet?) for my kiddo at a garage sale, trimmed a tree like an arborist (cut my finger with said blade), took a nap outside, and had wine at an art gallery.
Fall is an amazing time down in Urbana. I highly recommend it.

After lots of annoying DNS and Apple Account email shenanigans, I officially switched from Fastmail (which I loved, but couldn’t justify $4/mo for how little I use this email) to iCloud Custom Email Domain. So far so good. Fingers crossed that this seldomly-used feature actually works. 🤞

Coding with AI sometimes feels like asking someone to make you a PB&J sandwich but instead of grabbing the peanut butter already in the cupboard, it goes to the grocery store and comes back without the peanut butter.

My first experience with the movie Jaws was this 30 second animated short by Angry Alien in the early days of online video. My most recent was seeing it in IMAX tonight. It might be a perfect movie. Go out and see this movie on the big screen!

Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium Sees Federal Funding Halted - 512 Pixels

I’ve been thinking about Louie’s post about the value of video games. Yesterday we got 2 burritos and a kids quesadilla delivered and it was $35. Using the power of math, Mario Kart World is roughly the cost of 2 dinners and I’ll be playing that game for years and years to come.

Dumb calculation but—
A movie ticket is ¥2000. That’s about ¥1000 ⅌ hour.
A day at Tokyo Disneyland is ¥8900 (minimum), and it’s open for 12 hours each day. That’s ¥742 ⅌ hour.
The Nintendo Switch 2 costs ¥69,980 (international system), ¥8980 for Mario Kart World, and ¥7980 for Donkey Kong Bananza. ¥89,940 total. I’ve played those two games for 120 hours in total. That’s ¥725 ⅌ hour.
When people say the Switch 2 is expensive, I actually don’t get it. And the value only gets better with time.

I’m working on a MapKeep update for iOS 26 and Liquid Glass. It’s been a roller coaster: I’m having fun adding new features but searchable breaks key interactions and SwiftUI broke my my long-press gesture code (for the 2nd year in a row).

We watched The Talented Mr Ripley (1999) for the first time last night. Matt Damon was basically an infant. Gwyneth Paltrow, somehow, looks younger today. There might be something to the whole Goop thing after all.
