Music for reading: Hania Rani live at Invalides, in Paris, France for Cercle All A.I. artwork below was generated by me. I listen to a lot of deconversion stories while making food or eating or other things. I’m always kind of amazed at some of the things people had to go through growing up in […]
I never got into Laserdisc. I remember it being around when I was a kid (and early teenager). I remember thinking it was cool. I wanted a player and some movies, but they were all too expensive. I also remember that when I was around twelve years old I was at a friend’s house and […]
So I was thinking about the Playstation tonight and I’ve got this weird relationship with it. When I think about me and gaming, I don’t think abut the Playstation I instead think about iconic systems like the NES, Genesis, and Super NES. I even think about some systems I never owned like the TG16 or […]
I’ve posted some movie reviews in the past on Rotten Tomatoes and Facebook. But they tend to get lost in the shuffle of everything else I post on Facebook and attempting to log into Rotten Tomatoes today revealed that all my reviews are gone for some reason. Not that there was more than maybe a […]
Just over a couple years ago I wrote about my reassessment of my digital position where I admitted that if I was truly being honest with myself, as much as I claim to like physical media, I use digital streaming and files on drives way more. It’s like my heart is with physical media, mostly […]
Back in 2009 I made a video about free will. What’s interesting is that I largely feel the same way today as I did back then. I just know more about the subject today.

I’ve attempted (successfully) to avoid writing about subjects like this (in this blog) over the last several years. I’ve wanted to keep things more light-hearted and not dive into the heavier more debated subjects I used to drown this site in. Keeping mostly to my various feelings on physical media formats and technology. Maybe I […]
This started as a reply to a post in a facebook community I belong to. The person asked this same question. However I wrote this long response and before posting it as a comment I realized that it would be wasted on that community because of how quickly those posts come and go. Plus it […]
I’ve noticed that there are three types of cinephiles outside your average movie enjoying public. I’ve categorized them as follows: 1. Snobs. These are your hoity-toity cinephiles who sometimes use their movie collection to feel culturally superior to others. Be it Criterion Collection, anime, or something else. While not always snobby, not to make them sound […]
A few days ago my Macbook Pro wouldn’t turn on. It had been working fine. The last time I used it was a day or two before I had closed it up and set it to the side. I didn’t turn it off or anything, but now it was acting as if it had a […]
