Watching the “Maclunky” version of A New Hope on @disneyplus with the family. I forgot just how awful the changes from the special editions are. Woof! On the bright side, the movie looks great in 1080p.

I’m a sucker for obscure handheld retro gaming devices. Intrigued by the new ODROID-GO Advance. Seems like a fun little piece of kit!

Last week I got knocked out with an infection which I’ve managed with antibiotics. This week, I am in Chicago on business and got food poisoning last night and am stuck in my bed attempting to keep fluids down. Rough couple of weeks 😷

If you’re a person or business who claims to care about privacy and data ownership, please stop using Facebook, Instagram, and other FB properties to drive “engagement” or build “communities.” You’re failing your customers / followers.

Finally finished watching Mr. Robot last night. Without spoiling anything, I’ll just say that it was so wonderfully executed, and was a beautiful closure to a great story. The most impressive part was how respectful it was of humanity and the struggles of mental health. Blown away.

I have a small number of YouTube channels and creators that I enjoy following, but I really dislike the experience of using YouTube on the web and on iOS. So, I whipped up a script that automatically downloads YouTube content and adds it to my Plex server. So much better!

Maybe we should find a new stable genius. Ours is proving to be unstable and stupid.

William dropped my Nintendo Switch in the toilet yesterday, insta-killing it. The good news is that Nintendo apparently will repair it for $100 plus tax and shipping.

Update: Colette is going to be fine. Thankfully ruled out the serious possibilities. Now, on to celebrate the New Year!

Thanks for the well wishes, folks. I think she will be okay. She hadn’t been feeling well for a while, and then had a bad spill on her bike yesterday and started vomiting and fever today. No outside injuries, but they just want to rule out any internal damage. Best to be safe!

I’m getting to spend New Years Eve with Colette in the ER. Poor little thing has to have a CT scan 😷
