Watched: A House of Dynamite šŸæ

Felt silly when I discovered this was on Netflix. With all I’ve heard about it, I was sure it was in theatres. Saying that I “enjoyed” it seems a little inappropriate – but it was a good enactment of the decisions that would need to be made in a very tight time window.

UNL Percussion Ensemble — Fall 2025

The percussion studio at the University of Nebraska had a great program the other night. Unfortunately, the streaming/video/audio in their new building isn’t performing at the level of the musicians.

Chrome Split-View

Not as full-featured as the split windows in Arc, but a very welcome addition. I hope they might add the option to have more than two in the future. At work, I like to have a split tab with calendar and mail, then a split tab with the ticket I’m working on and the site I’m editing. When I run my radio nets, I like to have the script, my list of stations that call in regularly, the weather and the time all available.

Chrome's New 'Split View' Is Now My Favorite Way to Use the Internet

Reading news on NetNewsWire. Posting via MarsEdit. I feel like I’ve been to the future and I’m back to get a hug from 2005.

@mrwilson I used to enjoy that it was the service that everything else was built to talk to; also, that it was a sort of social media, showing me what all of my friends were up to. Increasingly, it seems they are making it more difficult, if not impossible, to interface with their data. At the same time, more and more folks—cyclists at least—are utilizing RideWithGPS.

Doing radio support for a run this weekend and at the start (kickoff? step-off?), the feels-like temp is going to be 7Āŗ.... Yikes! Time to dig out the winter gear...

What is more full of false hope than a document whose name ends in "FINAL"?

@bigzaphod my daughter was kind enough to go with me to see it at the theatre and somehow fell asleep through most of it so… maybe not as violent and exciting as I thought it was 😁

Mac user that needs a code editor? You can't beat Nova, and it's having a rare sale. Get 40% off for the next couple of weeks: nova.app/buy

I had a Virtual Boy when I was like 20 for a few days. I ended up returning it because it was uncomfortable/awkward to play, couldn't be enjoyed with anybody else and was expensive – that said, I remember thinking that the games were fun and the 3D effect was neat. I'll definitely have to give this a try! theverge.com/nintendo/777032/n

Who wants a vomiting backpack?!

@DeniseG and I've been seeing people trying to do the math and thinking that it might not be enough. I'm not so excited about the beer — but I wouldn't say no to an irish coffee in November. :-)

@rustywx What do you think about lightning in the area for the marching band exhibition at 7?

When you were a kid, did you ever fall for the "Do you want to play the game 52-card pickup?" joke? That's how I feel every time I get a PDF that needs to be re-tagged for accessibility.

Sunday ARES net… I just need a cigar to really feel like Edward R. Murrow or something…

At what point do we talk about phones as the apps that they have become by saying "I spoke with them on Phone"?

@jw @cpultz I’ve always said the same thing… run temp Tuesday for a day in July!

Burger King Poutine… not bad!

It always takes me a second to process questions like "do you want that hot?" and "will that be hot or cold?" at the coffee shop because I get stuck on "people drink this cold?". It seems like a nonsensical question.

MacOS 26's Liquid Glass sure looks like the "Lickable" interface of MacOS X.

I thought this had something to do with a Die Hard game... nope. nintendoeverything.com/tamagot

@cpultz Looks like you might have another week of quiet :-)
