Oh, and Donald Glover was a fine voice for Yoshi ๐

The Mario Galaxy Movie was great, especially Yoshi!
9.5/10. It loses half a point for criminally underusing Mahito Yokota and Koji Kondo's amazing musical score from the games.
MAX DOWMAN. 16 YEARS OLD.
ETCH THAT INTO EMIRATES HISTORY, ARSENAL HISTORY, PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY!
The Project Hail Mary movie was fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen such a well-implemented movie adaptation of a book, especially of a book that I absolutely loved.
Can't wait to see it again. Happy happy happy!
Went to the Matildas game tonight with the family, and I've never seen so many Arsenal jerseys at a football game in Australia.
The cheer when Steph Catley came on was awesome!
Ooh to be a Gooner!
New blog post! I've upgraded our digital photo frame in our house to use an Immich-based service: costi.link/noIgC8
It's interesting how I used to stress over cleaning up every sentence I wrote, and now I'm like, "eh, if something is a little clunky, at least people will know it's me that wrote it instead of AI"
The stupid Apple 'Allow local network access' permission has resulted in so many frustrating troubleshooting sessions at my house as well as at my parents'.
It silently blocking a single app's access to devices (when someone didn't know what it meant when clicking 'No' weeks before) is such a PITA.
71 hours later, I finally finished Silksong. I had a very love/hate relationship with the game.
The difficulty and general 'meaness' of the game was off the chart. But I still enjoyed the challenge after giving in and following a walkthrough.

After another round of sus updates, I've finally parted ways with Nova Launcher on my phone. After trying a few alternatives, I've settled on Smart Launcher which, _very_ handily, has a settings import for Nova users that replicates a Nova configuration.
Fascinating! It always amazes me how the internet is built on RFCs from before I was in school. I always wonder: if we were to do the same thing from scratch today, what (if?!) would the consensus be on fundamental things like DNS.

I can't believe #JusticeForChewbacca was on Jeopardy ๐๐๐๐
We got Lego Party in the recent Nintendo Store sale, and it's been great fun with the family!
IMO, it's much better than Mario Party. The minigames have a good variety, and not as button-bashy as most Mario ones.
Being able to Quickshare/Airdrop from my Pixel 10 to my Mac (or my wife's iPhone) is amazing. Big kudos for Google for figuring it out, hopefully they can bring it to more Pixels!

Boo, so gutted for the Jays after that game 7, but yeah, great ad for baseball!
Sounds perphectly cromulent to me? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Three different WALL-E Lego sets posed together
All three Lego WALL-Es together! ๐คฉ๐คฉ
Immich (the open source self-hosted Google Photos alternative) is now stable! immich.app
I've been meaning to write a blog post about my experience using it over the past couple of months.
I have 2 daughters, soooo ๐
I really want to watch the new Aus dino-horror flick, Primitive War, and would even have paid money to 'rent' it from a streaming service.
But AU$25 for a 3 day streaming rental? Are they insane? It would have cost me and Des less to see it at the local cinema!
Savvy people have other options! ๐ก
Wahooo! Galaxy 2 on the Switch โจโจ๐๐๐
That price, though; yikes!!
YASSSSS! Let's GOOOO!! ๐๐๐๐
Now re-release Woolly World!
I had a great time watching Elio with the family! Feels like the best Pixar movie in a while ๐
NGL, as someone who doesn't really like DC (and especially Superman/Batman as characters), I really enjoyed the new Superman movie.
James Gunn did it. He got me to like not just a DC character movie, but a Superman movie! ๐ซจ๐๐
Ugh, the new Pepsi recipe in Australia now has artificial sweeteners in it. It now tastes like a mild Pepsi Max. ๐คข
Apparently they're doing the same to Mountain Dew in order to reduce sugar (and probably save money!).
If I wanted sugar-free/diet taste, I would have bought that product! ๐ก
