📺 Finished watching: Silo (Season 2) on Apple TV+

Silhouette of a woman’s profile blending with a dramatic scene of people below, set against a blue and orange backdrop. Review: Loving this show. Folks were saying the second season was too slow, but I liked the room the let the story breathe and think S2 far outclasses S1. Compelling performances, incredible production and design, lots of twists and turns – I can’t wait to see what happens next. Rating: two thumbs up.

🍿 Watched: Fly Me to the Moon on Apple TV+

Movie poster features two main characters in front of a large moon backdrop. Text reads: Fly Me to the Moon, 2024, Greg Berlanti. Fun, but forgettable. That’s about all I have to say about that. 🚀 Rating: One thumb up.

After 12 days straight of outdoor activities (mostly work, but also personal trips), I have to confess I’m pretty stoked to have tomorrow off. This stretch has been super fun, but also super cold and exhausting. Time for some recovery and to catch up on indoor projects. 👍

Well, I’ve been ghosted by the CPA I was going to be working with. 😕 Anybody have one (licensed in New York State) that they could recommend for my small guiding business? Ideally they’d work well with me just saving a bunch of receipts into a shared folder and double-checking my QuickBooks work.

Spaces constantly rearranging themselves on macOS is a blight, and I finally thought to check if there’s a setting. Finally, sanity. 😮‍💨

Settings window shows “Desktop & Dock” preferences on macOS, featuring toggle options for window and space management. A red arrow highlights “Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use."

Today’s chilly shenanigans at @whiteface_mt. Wind chill at -16°! My 2025 map is filling in nicely!

Skiers glide down a snowy slope surrounded by snow-covered trees. In the distance, a misty mountain with winding ski trails creates a serene winter landscape.

Victoria Song: ‘Meta’s next smart glasses may be with Oakley’

The Oakley-branded glasses, internally referred to as “Supernova 2”, would be based on the brand’s Sphaera glasses. Instead of housing the cameras on the side, the Supernova 2 would shift the camera to the center of the frame.

I’m less thrilled with my Meta Ray-Bans after Meta reminded us of its true colors. But a version of smart glasses in this style frame and with better battery life to hold up against cold winter temps would be appealing to me.

🔗 Jason Koebler: ‘Decentralized Social Media Is the Only Alternative to the Tech Oligarchy’ 404media.co

There is now no major corporate-owned social media platform that is not aligned with Trump or beholden to him in some way, and nearly every American is on at least one of these platforms.

A sobering fact that I hadn’t yet recognized. Get your own website and domain. Micro.one is $1/month. Now is the time.

🧗‍♂️ Whoa, the Beal Backup Line is cheaper, thinner, and lighter than the Edelrid Rap Line Protect. It doesn’t have any dynamic qualities like the Edelrid, so I think I’m still happy with my recent rope purchase… but 1/3 lighter and physically smaller is very appealing.
