Tipa runs a HeroQuest: First Light dungeon crawl where the Ring of Return exposes a fake “Fire King,” a Witch Hand ambush, and finally summons the real spirit. CrazyKinux shares an EVE Online newbie brain-dump on flying a Caldari Cormorant destroyer, applying SKINs without UI pain, and what the ship’s actually good (and bad) for in PvP. Joar checks in on World of Warcraft’s pre-patch: core alts feel solid (DK/paladin/frost mage favorites), most addons survived, delves are feeding vaults, and FFXIV/ESO/GW2 are on the side. Andrew’s Quest 64 week is mostly fields, tougher fights, and leveling, but he reaches Larapool after a weird “boat trip,” with Shannon still popping up at every inn. Ellie finally circles back to Control by replaying it and diving into The Foundation and AWE, praising the Oldest House’s surreal world design and the DLC’s cryptic, creepy pull. Wilhelm bumbles from Guild Wars’ Great Northern Wall into Embark Beach, gets overwhelmed by mission options and level 20s, then has to Google how to get back home. Juhis, despite hating arbitrary scoring, can’t stop laughing at Taskmaster and crowns UK Series 7 best-in-show, celebrating loophole-friendly tasks and killer cast chemistry with Greg Davies and Alex Jamie Zawinski dunks hard on Starfleet Academy (2026), calling it Gossip Girl Trek with pointless post-Burn setting, hate-fueled character dynamics, and CW vibes—Brit Marling just voices the computer. Warner ties literal winter storms to a broader social/political/tech tempest, rattling off grim headlines and the feeling we’re stuck in a never-ending streaming-series crisis arc. Tobold contrasts reactions to Ashli Babbitt vs Alex Pretti, digs into 2nd Amendment hypocrisy, and argues America can’t keep millions “technically illegal” without crises like Minneapolis protests. Dave Winer revisits 1998 UserLand posts and argues RSS beats siloed AT Proto/Bluesky for publishing, plus a reminder that “us vs them” thinking isn’t working on the web. Ay…
Celebrate Alan Alda's #DailyBlogroll birthday with Tipa, Wilhelm, Dave Winer, Aywren, Warner, Andrew, Jamie Zawinski, Ellie, Juhis, Joar, CrazyKinux, Tobold and more!

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book because there would be no one who wanted to read one.

📱In a world where apps translate languages in real-time, the essence of culture goes beyond words. It's in the unspoken nuances that tech has yet to capture #CulturalConnection #TechAndCulture #AI
Today’s tech connects us across borders, yet there’s value in keeping our humanity at the core. The stories we tell, the connections we make—those remain timeless, no matter the medium. #TechAndCulture #Connection
How shall we regard the future of AI technology, will it be Master, Slave, Friend or Out Of Our Reach. I've been thinking about this.. What about you?
