The fragments of media you consume - by Ryan Broderick

TikTok is just a free Adobe Premiere for teenagers that lives on their phones. And it allows them a greater level of understanding about how sound and images work together than any other app probably ever.

All Twitter had to do to stop me from looking at it for more than collecting a roundup of Destiny 2 News each week was kill off their third party apps.

Ever Since Tweetbot went dark, I’ve not touched the site from anywhere other than Tweetdeck on my computer.

📺 Alice in Borderland (2020)

I enjoyed the first season and eagerly awaited the second. But it’s felt very different. Slower. I had a hard time studying engaged with tue story and characters this time around.

Season 1 is great. Season 2 feels like the middle of a trilogy and I have no idea there’s a Season 3 coming.

I Love RSS.

You can’t expect what you’re not willing to give. If you’re not willing to give it, you’re not getting it back end of story. Straight Outta Salem on TikTok

This is about work but it can be applied to any relationship.

My wife wanted to get some wine and ice cream and brownies tonight. It’s 10pm. I said well it’s fine because…

Then I had to stop myself because it’s MONDAY!

In the moment, I thought it was almost the weekend.

Beginning to think… in quite a worried way… that no part of my house is level or square. Or that 90 degree angles exist.

I foolishly bought a rectangular Billy bookcase to put in a rectangular space.

Watched Glass Onion. Followed by Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Both incredible.

Do I go for the trifecta of Jordan Peele’s NOPE or for something lighter?

So let me get this straight, you can’t have Siri use anything besides Apple Maps? And it wants to tell me all about Yelp?!

Sorry, Apple, when your maps app routed me to a closed street in DC that had been that way for quite some time by the.. lack of street beyond it, you lost.

The collection grows

PSA New Target birds are out.

The three new ones joined the family tonight. They are roosting with the rest of the Valentine’s Day birds and trees on the mantel.

Remember, when you podcast with people in another country you sometimes need to check the voice channel settings in Discord. It may be set to Rotterdam and explain why your ping is at 3500 ms instead of around 90.

There is a new season of Letterkenny available on Hulu.

I have now watched another season of Letterkenny.

It’s excellent. We are graced with so much Glen. It’s wonderful.

Merry Christmas to all who were woken up early on Christmas Day by an urgent alert from work because someone scheduled a test for 8am on Christmas.

Not sure whether this counts as a pass or fail. But after three automated phone calls, I’m not too happy.

I want to feel this song run through my out of giant speakers.

I’ve become completely obsessed with Until The Ribbon Breaks. The song Goldfish was my intro to them, but I find myself roaming around the house singing 🎵 “Orca, Orca, Orca, there is nothing quite, as black and white as you"🎵

I feel crazy. I hate the text selection and editing on the iPhone. It feels like mush and sometimes I get a select/edit dialog. Sometimes I don’t. It feels broken.

Decorated for Christmas with Target birds. Mondrian bird house ski village, lining the mantle and the “sexy frog” has gotten into the action.

A grown man just sat down next to us in the airport, sipped his Mountain Dew, handed it to his friend and said.

It tastes like a weird Sprite.

Postponed dentist appointment. 🪥 Tooth decides tonight is a good time to start being sensitive. 🦷

In my recent switch from Android to iPhone, I could not find the Keenai app (used to be called Eye.Fi) to allow my wifi-enabled SD card to send photos from my camera to my phone. Very handy for vacations and loading photos without cards readers, adapters or a computer at all.

I started looking into it this morning and learned Keenai shutdown in 2018. The app still works on my Android phone because it relies on the wifi connection between my camera and phone.

However, there’s no wayt to get those photos from camera to iPhone. The camera model I have (Olympus PEN E-PL3) doesn’t support wifi directly so I can’t use Olympus' app. But it does work with the Eyefi SD card.

So for the time being, I will keep my Android phone with the Keenai app loaded since that will work to get photos to a phone, but not my current phone.

Hopefully I can another solution since it was very convenient to send photos directly from my camera to my phone.

Destiny 2 is an apex predator. It goes through content lulls just long enough to make other games think they have a chance. It also served to let journalists write about the New Destiny 2 Killer.

Then Destiny rises up out of the swamps of the Throne World to regain its crown.

I finished season 3 of For All Mankind in Apple TV+.
It’s an alternate history of what happened if the Soviet Union won the space race.
It lives and breathes in the world of danger and drama of astronaut life on and off world. I really enjoyed it.

It’s a bad day at work when I need to summon the trifecta of Carl, Carla and Carlo on the same email thread.
