Ran into quite the Easter Egg in Jedi Survivor (which involved squeezing through a sidewall for like 2 minutes!)
Where is the Trini Spider-Man movie now, eh? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAQ9hCxj/
Achieved the dream of visiting the Gulf of America (which looks suspiciously like the Gulf of Mexico)
Wild to be in the middle of a fresh tropical storm, normally I only see the tail end of them
I’d like to think it was Fast 5 that made Danza Koduro a wedding staple #family
It’s wild to see how much airplane WiFi has improved over the years. My American Airlines flight has rock solid internet thanks to AT&T’s satellite service (even though the plane has no screens or media)
I kind of love these social accounts just posting classic games and anime on CRTs. Talk about an instant nostalgia hit. And this reminds me it’s a shame Escaflowne isn’t more widely available today www.tiktok.com/t/ZTB2HV1bv/
To face a bear head-on, one must have the energy of a calm and collected EV owner www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkoUDD8V/
This beautiful cinema in my town closed down earlier this year, just breaks my heart. Would love to see it revived, but who’s doing that these days?
And I swear no show is doing wild locations and sets like DTF St Louis
Here's @igorbonifacic.bsky.social talking about his recent story on orbital datacenters, tying into our discussion on the Artemis II launch
And here I posit my greater theory of "Oh shit," which drives so much of the tech and business world
And we try to figure out where the Copilot stuff went wrong. I think users can tell when you're forcing bullshit on them
Here we quickly break down Microsoft's different approaches to Windows 10 and Windows 11. The former felt far more collaborative TBH
And we discuss the downstream effects of DLSS 5: It's great for studio execs, but not really great for artists or how we engage with art
Here's @anshelsag.bsky.social breaking down his initial thoughts on DLSS 5
It’s wild how Apple did just about everything right here. And yes, it stinks being stuck with 8GB of RAM, but I threw A LOT at this thing and it generally hovered around 80-85% RAM usage. There’s a lot of optimization going on, the page file was like 8GB typically.
Also, when you ask @attackerman.bsky.social why everything is awful, you have to let him cook
This is the first tech event I’ve been to where the announcement is general standing
This interview with Kal Penn really resonates, do not be afraid to ask for the things you really want. As I look back, almost every job I’ve gotten came from directly talking to people and making it clear I could do the job.
Spitting fire over here @ajhan.bsky.social, on the awful Aronofsky AI 1776 series www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...
It’s only been a few years, but the closed Regal UA Court St theater in downtown Brooklyn is now urban expedition territory. This breaks my heart www.tiktok.com/t/ZTh5Yyy9x/
