  • Spider-Man Loves You

    I’m working with my team at a meetup in Lisbon, and really enjoying this track from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack:

  • This is how you dress for a Star Wars convention

    This is how you dress for a Star Wars convention

    Robin Moul apparently made this awesome Star Wars dress, completed with hand lettering. It’s brilliant! The hair stick things (there’s probably a real name for them – I’m clueless) are a nice touch! Robin also posted a tweet of her in the dress at a Star Wars Celebration event: Hat tip to my ever vigilant…

  • Sidewalk mosaic

    Sidewalk mosaic

    The city adorned a path leading up to a local community center with a series of mosaics. I took a walk out there this morning, and took photos of them. One of the concrete panels is blank, which is a little odd. Hopefully that will also be filled at some point.

  • I enjoyed Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie

    I enjoyed Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur movie

    We watched Guy Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword today. I’ve been listening to Daniel Pemberton’s soundtrack for the last week or so, and was looking forward to watching the movie. The movie didn’t do well at the Box Office, and a series of sequels was scrapped. That’s a big pity. I really enjoyed…

    My son and his friends are getting back into Minecraft, and they’ve been playing on some random server that they have some issues with. I gave it some thought, and decided that I could set up a Minecraft server for them on a Digital Ocean. I mean, how hard could this be, right? It turns…

    Today’s alternative to my usual run

    I finally took some time to get outside, and exercise for the first time in about a week. I was going to do my usual run (it’s effective but I don’t particularly like it) when my daughter asked me to take her to the park. I was about to say “No”, and that I wouldn’t…

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of the best movies I’ve seen

    We finally watched Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and it’s comfortably one of the best movies I’ve seen. The story is compelling, the animation is brilliantly done. It’s just an incredible movie. If you haven’t seen it, and you’re curious, it’s well worth watching. This movie was the first of two movies we have planned for…

  • Feeling a bit better with this song

    Feeling a bit better with this song

    I’ve had a rough week or two with more anxiety and depression than usual. Music tends to help my mood, and “Like Gold” by Vance Joy is one of those songs for me: Actually, I’m really enjoying Vance Joy generally at the moment. Here’a a great playlist to binge with:
