Left handed designer, illustrator and UX researcher. Still listens to vinyl and CDs. Reads physical books. We love camping with our six dogs.
It’s challenging to look for a Noah and the Whale vinyl. Now it’s going to get even harder and costly.

Thanks, James Gunn!

I miss the days where games came in hard box, with manuals and other goodies. Where you can also stash good stuff.

I want Disney & Jared Leto knows that I’m seeing Tron Ares because it’s Tron, not for fucking Jared Leto.

Just dumped 9kg worth of ewaste for recycling. Accumulated for 20 years. Camera, various cables, chargers, routers, battery packs, etc.

Fortunately, iPods are not one of em. Still sporting the iPod Nano on my walk.

Downloading about 3200+ books off my Kindle app on the Mac. Should have done this a long time ago. Good thing I’ve already back up a few dozen books a few years ago.

Still, thousands of books are going to take a long time!

Back when I used to pirate films. It wasn’t easy to access any foreign film (non-Hollywood) back then. If you’re interested in films, piracy is the way. Most of these disc are 20 years old.

Some films in this collection are also inaccessible. Not available to stream or physical media.

Symphonic Suite Akira never fails me on a deadline. My no.1 productivity tool for the past twenty years.

And yes, I still use a CD player.

5 reasons why The Shining is a Christmas movie

1. Snow
2. Red rum

Nobody mentioned that reading the 900+ page The Books of Jacob also requires 6 hours of YouTube videos of history lessons.

Watching Netflix The Trunk.

Me: This is a fight between two mentally-ill person. One can afford therapists, the other is too poor to afford even one.

GF: So it’s Batman and Joker then.

I didn’t know I’d start wearing expensive shit when we started becoming more outdoorsy. Those Patagonias ain’t cheap!

Last week on streaming: I saw a heterosexual sex scene, a gay sex scene, and a lesbian sex scene.

I think I’m winning!

Saw three A24 horror movies this weekend. I think I’m on the right track for October.

The perils of a remote worker who uses Figma, Miro, and the likes when internet service goes down.

Oh the horror!

Never felt so much betrayed by a company I loved. Flare Audio just changed their rewards tier making my 963 points into 240 points (a £10 value). For context, my old points could get me their new stuff worth £50.

Did these without notifying members. Asked them to delete my account.

Hi @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com is there going to be a Sandman Act IV? I’m planning to pause my account this month and saving one credit. Kind of expecting a new release during this period. :)

First time in years I’ve read this many books. There’s 3 months left to a year. Hoping to finish at least 1 book a month before the year closes.

Apple just enabled AirPods Pro latest feature for iOS17 before the release date. Conversation Awareness works really well!

I have iOS17 RC installed.

When you’re preferred home furniture is also your camping furniture. I wonder what kind of predicted future I’m living in.

I guess I’m back to buying CDs again. If there’s no vinyl, then CD it is.
