Chloe Zhao’s Hamnet won the People’s Choice Award at Toronto International Film Festival (big predictor of Oscars nominee and sometimes winner). Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein was first runner up, Knives Out second runner up. Chloe’s video played (charmingly) upside down.

Festivus celebration! With a real legit aluminum pole. And airing of grievances. (None of this Christmas Adam bit).

A visit to the Banned Books Museum in Tallinn, Estonia. Opened to 2020 by a Scotsman as a passion project in Catholic church rental
property.

Surprising number of children’s books, including Winnie the Pooh (“banned in China because Winnie looks like President Xi”), Where the Wild Things Are.

Totality from Hot Springs, Arkansas. On iphone 15 right before it died. At a very well timed wedding.

I finally saw Old Faithful! Unexpectedly. It’s in the bottom part of Yellowstone, far way from the interesting stuff in the northern parts, so missed it last time I was at Yellowstone.

Sil Hamilton and I created this Venn diagram of concepts/product in AI for our Computer History Museum talk on the future of news.

Feedback/corrections? Still tweaking. We moved Deep Blue bc the museum staff told us we had it in wrong place and they knew because “We have the box” downstairs.

If you have never been to Annenberg Hall for first years at Harvard, it’s like Hogwarts.

Our friend John Sears managed to get in for breakfast with a swipe from Hana Kiros, and after students left got this photo panorama using auto-stitching and content-aware fill in the corners. Yay for AI.

Visiting Heidi Pitlor, series of The Best American Short Stories and Plympton’s editorial director, with Sil Hamilton outside Boston. She has all the books going back (almost) to the very beginning. Her collection starts in 1923.
