Now

Things I'm up to now.

21 December 2025

I'm off work for a couple weeks for the holidays. For yet another year since moving to Ireland, I've had too much vacation time banked at the end of the year. Maybe I will be better about this in 2026.
I broke a bone (radial head fracture) by falling off my bicycle. It's been three weeks and the bone is now healed, but the physical therapy will take a bit longer.

Finished Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. Interesting behind-the-scenes look at the horrible people behind Facebook (Meta).
Currently reading Dune, albeit slowly.

I had to take a break from video games while my arm was healing.
I played a few hours of Above Snakes by Square Glade Games. I like the "build the map as you go" mechanic but the dialog felt stilted and some of the illustrations have a GenAI feel.
I created characters in both Old School RuneScape and Guild Wars Reforged. I sorta want an MMO to sink into but I don't know if it's one of these.

I'm kind of obsessed with Travelers, a Netflix TV show that ran for three seasons from 2016 through 2018. Really solid characters, tons of chemistry on screen, and no wasted episodes by my estimation. Really good stuff.
I finished both seasons of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency on Netflix. The first season was really fun, Samuel Barnett is so good as Dirk Gently. Season 2 was alright but didn't hit the same. It's too bad they didn't get a shot at another season.
Wake Up Dead Man and The Holdovers get a thumbs-up.
