Nothing Compares, 2022 - ★★★★
I remember, at the time, loving the songs but disliking the artist. I'm not sure yet how watching this has changed things.
The Pez Outlaw, 2022 - ★★★
That was fun enough
When the Screaming Starts, 2021 - ★★
I think this was supposed to be funny.
Vinyl Nation, 2020 - ★★
Maybe there's nothing more to be said about vinyl.
Pearl, 2022 - ★★★★
Goth is so good
Found this photo of drawings on my bedroom’s bulletin board in 1982. I think I’m weird.
10 rolls of HP5 from B&H runs nearly $100. Not long ago it was $72. I hardly flinch at paying many thousands of dollars for a digital camera, but then balk at a few extra dollars for film ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
OMG, I just learned I can add my Obsidian vault as a “Library source” in Curio. Then, I can drag those Markdown files into Curio as “File-backed text figures”, making them “live”, editable views of those Markdown files. Edits anywhere (macOS & iOS) update/sync automatically 🤯
So I guess every movie from now on has to be either a horror movie or "based on the graphic novel..."?
I'm indexing my test Obsidian vault in DEVONthink. It's reminding me of the advantages that local files in things like in Obsidian offer over remote-first tools like Tana/Roam. The journey continues!
Generating a blog with Tinderbox is tricky but fun. One thing I’ve added is a “crosspost” field. Checking this box makes the post available in the “allposts.xml” RSS feed, which feeds into Micro.blog. This way I can easily pick and choose which posts end up here.

I don't want another blog, but I seem have one anyway. Or, more accurately, I've re-purchased the baty.blog domain and am using that with my old Tinderbox-managed blog. It's not technically a new blog, then. It's an old blog that has been resurrected. I have no idea if it'll stay, or why I'm doing it, so you might not want to get comfortable.
I will say that the way I've built this using Tinderbox is exactly how I want my blog to work. I get individual posts, grouped by day. Each post can display a title, or not. It can have a "featured image", or not. It can be crossposted via RSS, or not (this post is, for example). I have attributes for the current weather, Topics, etc.
Plus, it's fun! I don't feel I need to make excuses for having fun :).
I love that Leica has re-released the original M6 (but with a brass top and upgraded finder). I recently tried and failed to sell mine, so I’m good for now (dust and all). leica-camera.com/en-US/pho…
The reef tank is so weird. I have all kinds of critters in there that I didn’t invite. Here’s one I spotted today for the first time. It’s an Asterina Starfish. Not harmful. It’s about the size of a US dime.
Vengeance, 2022 - ★★★½
I removed half a star about an hour after finishing the movie because I wondered why I gave it four stars to begin with. Funny and sometimes clever. Didn't stick the landing, IMO.
I think I’ll retire the little Canonet. My focusing ability can’t be /that/ bad. I don’t trust the shutter speeds. Frame spacing was all over the place, and a few frames were scratched (from travel through the camera, pretty sure).
At least the self-timer works, as you can see.
Finally caught up on creating a digital index of my current paper notebook. This is the first notebook I’m trying this with. It’s work! I’m using Soren’s mindex tool (tab-delimited file -> LaTeX -> PDF). github.com/sobjornst…
After following the Tana Slack channels for a few days I’m ready to just go back to paper.
How I plan to spend my day
Here I am looking out for bad guys with my super cool binoculars from Andor.
