Farewell to a pop art legend

David Hockney’s painting A Bigger Splash. A modernist house rendered in flat colours, and palm trees in the background. In the foreground a swimming pool. A diving board draws the eye toward a splash in the pool.

It's probably about time that I switch away from Chrome anyway.

What an oddly specific scam.

Screenshot of an email to oblivion sound lab, asking if I still make audio plugins. The author of the email offers to introduce me to a contact who would introduce me to “private money”.

Recently Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books were $1.99 each for Kindle. I was very tempted, but if I’m going to do this I want to do it properly. My latest acquisition arrived today. 6 down, 35 to go…

This arrived in the post today. A pocket sized book by @colenowicki.com all about the social impact of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Cole puts out an excellent skate-focussed newsletter called Simple Magic, which is how I discovered his writing.

We’re a couple of episodes into Pantheon. Not 100% on board yet, but it seems like a very good high-concept hacker/sci-fi story.

Promotional image for the TV show Pantheon. A pixelated anime style image of a teenage girl, rendered in pinks and blues against a black background, distorted as if she is constructed of pixels.

Sample question for a remote music class my daughter is studying at high school. The audio filenames kind of give the answers away!

Screenshot of a multi choice test question. “Listen to this short example. What choice best describes the harmony in the example?” The example audio file is named “non-western.mp3” and the correct answer is “non-Western harmony”.

This popped up on my Tubi homepage too. The Grim and the Dark is a documentary about wargaming and grimdark art. The score by Eric Michael Robertson captured my attention too. trademarkfilms.com/films/d121a6...

Although I am stridently opposed to generative AI, AI coding assistants are actually very good at auto-completing code. Prediction is what LLMs do best, right? So I find it amusing that when I type "HELLO", the AI assistant thinks I want to write "HELLOOOOOOOOO", presumably in a sarcastic voice.

Something I got for Christmas. A very unlicensed lego “Break Bad” RV. Not sure why the door opens upwards, but in other respects it seems quite accurate. Even has cooking apparatus inside.

Wait, so people were predicting that a Terminator 2 scenario was going to happen NEXT YEAR?! Delusional. It’s a Reddit regurgitation machine.

My daughter has sunk countless hours into a rougue-like deck building video game called Monster Train, but it has paid off! She recently took part in an official competition and placed in the top 10 players globally. The prize was a couple of oversized cards signed by the developers. Pretty cool!

Latest additions to my little CD collection. I owned Angel Dust back in the day but somewhere along the way it went walkabout.

Letterboxd is showing some people (not me sadly 😞) this CAPTCHA challenge when they log Bugonia. Classic.

Saw Bugonia last night, and was curious about the memorable typeface used in the film's branding. As an ex-pat New Zealander I was pleasantly surprised to discover that is was designed by Samoan/New Zealand designer Joseph Churchward: collections.tepapa.govt.nz/object/91526...
