My nephew is doing a space walk (his first, the woman he's doing it with is on her fourth)! Live link, think it will be saved as well: Trying to watch while at work, very cool stuff!

No no, really guys, I have friends, for realsies, and... and we like hang out all the time.... ...you don't even know...

A few roadside graffiti snaps from two mostly grey days on a recent trip to Monument Valley and Route 66, that aren’t at Monument Valley or on Route 66. Colors are from the SL2 (CV 50mm f/1 Nokton) and monochrome the M9M (LLL 28 f/2.8 9E). Final two are with the Sigma BF (24mm f/2 Contemporary). I need more road trips in my life.

Finished this morning, devoured at work.

Steal An enjoyable bingeworthy taut multi layered heist thriller with some social / financial commentary thrown on for good measure. But don't just take my word for it. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jan/21/steal-review-sophie-turner-thriller-prime-video

I have no idea how she did not get flour all over her black top, so I just watched this very carefully 13 times in a row, to see if I could spot the trick: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qN4a6kCI_t8 ...oh well, on to number 14...

I know not many follow beatbox, but WING dropped this late last night. And it is masterful.

The Computer History Museum's Apple@50 live session from a few days ago. A lot of good info if you can deal with Pogue. And by deal with Pogue I mean...

^^ Good band, got to see them live back in the day. Damon and Naomi's subsequent album was pretty good, too.

(moved from beverage thread) Grace Under Pressure (Super Deluxe) by Rush (1984) https://open.qobuz.com/album/fpz7sd7tvobor Example: Okay, I know that I have shit on Deluxe, Super Deluxe, Ultimate Editions in the past. And I have to say I was worried about this release. But how could Rush disappoint me? Well they didn't... No demos, no Alt takes, no unreleased tracks. Just a new remaster of the Album, followed by a new Mix of the Album (Terry Brown). And then for fun the entire live show from September 21, 1984. That is how you do a deluxe album my friends... Thanks as always Rush... 🙏🤘

Saturday was Pie Day so we had previously agreed to celebrate this week. So tonight I made but did not bake Taco Pie and also made the crust (and did bake) for a Chocolate Chess Pie.

I saw Maybe my demographic is different.

Nvidia released some DLSS5 teaser images and are getting absolutely roasted. The Akakichi no Eleven meme, which I still don't fully understand. My personal favorite, Gen XLSS5.

Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (Bande originale du film) by Yann Tiersen (2001) https://open.qobuz.com/album/zliipnmsqpfhb Example: Been discovering some more of Tiersen's work - so I might as well listen to some of the best.

It's amazing how different weathers can be. We are just starting a heat wave with temps in the low to mid 90Fs. It supposed to last at least a week.
