  2. Comparing the new compact cassette players - I think I'll get new belts for my Panasonic instead:
  3. I'm on season 2 right now. It's weird to see Toby Huss (Halt and Catch Fire) as a young man with Tone Loc. I'm not sure how season 5 will play with Jon Lovitz... Stinge watching: https://kottke.org/24/02/stinge-watching
  4. No, but I think the episode order has been changed from their broadcast order. Some of the tightest comedy writing and performance I've seen recently. RIP, Phil Hartman.

  10. A brief history of the legendary dumpster fire called TSR Dave Thaumavore RPG Reviews My favorite comment: "The moral of the story: you can only treat your employees, creatives, customers, vendors, publisher and sales channel like shit for decades before selling out to a like-minded company. 😕"

  13. The Sony Walkman article was #1 at Ars Technica this year: https://arstechnica.com/staff/2023/12/the-20-most-read-stories-of-2023/ I didn't end up getting one as I felt the ergonomic issues, price, and battery life didn't quite gel, according to some reviewers. There have been several updates to each Walkman (there is a 156-page thread covering the NW-A707 at Head-Fi, 255 pages for the NW-A300 to date), but the prices remain high and people are still complaining about the volume limits on non-Japanese units.
  14. A wayback playback... if it ain't Baroque... Music for a While - Henry Purcell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_a_While Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings, everyone!
