Watched it to kill time on a plane when wifi was out, and "Thunderbolts" was damn good. One of the best Marvel movies in a few years. Just good, clean, feel-good fun.

Headed to Japan for work in February and fired up the soothing tech podcast I use to re-ramp on the language: @rebuild.fm. What a delight to see an interview with @craigmod.com! Two wonderful humans I met in the glory days of Web 2.0, just chatting out cameras, crowdfunding, travel, and more.
