This looks like what they put on the big screen behind k-pop groups when they perform live. Only more modern.

Kiss magazine Korea has used my photos of le sserafim, aespa, artms, and fromis_9 (and probably more) without credit. All my photos are in the Creative Commons but you have to give credit, especially if you have tens of thousands of followers.
I asked Claude why I use "great success" when my test cases pass and it correctly responded: Yep — it's the Borat catchphrase ("Very nice! ... Great success!").
One of the things I love about my wife is that after I cook dinner (which isn't that often) she makes the same dish roughly a week later. But her version is better in every way. She never says anything about it. But we both know what's happening.
The King County assessor changed the value of the land my house is on by +50% and the house itself by -20% for property taxes in 2027 compared to 2026. Do they really know what they're doing?
I have this thing with the Old 97's where I listen obsessively then forget about them for a few years then repeat over and over. Last night I sang along knowing every word though I hadn't heard some of the songs for a decade. I've seen them many times and that was their tightest set yet.

i-dle at Lolla hot takes: a+ performance. The camera crew loved Miyeon. Yuqi yelling "fuckin' tomboy" was everything. Minnie flexing her English. Shuhua's vocals were confident and clear. Soyeon's vision was realized. I should have gone to Chicago.
Agentic AI will suck until I can tell it to get all the members of NewJeans back together making new songs.
Ugh, what a shame. I only saw him once, in 2010. He sang The Moon under a full moon with Markéta Irglová.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last wk.Breaking News: Glen Hansard, the Irish musician who won an Oscar for the song “Falling Slowly” from the movie “Once,” has died at 56 in a motorcycle crash.
The titular character in My Sassy Girl has exactly one line in episode 1. A belch. #kdrama
NEW BLOG POST! Some thoughts on Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, the historical context of the Bronze Age Collapse, the Sea Peoples, and the legends of the Trojan War, and whether Nolan's movie is "historically accurate" or not, and what that even means.
Did Odysseus Cause the Bronze Age Collapse?
We were all set for The Odyssey to be our summer discourse. Battle lines had been drawn, takes had been prepared. Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s 8th century BCE epic poem was…

Dear authors of 1991's Aztec C v5.2a cross compiler running on MS-DOS targeting the 68000: your free() function in lib\stdlib\amifree.c corrupts the heap. I have a fix but you have no public repo.
Google AI search responses were rarely good, but in the last month they have gone off a cliff. Maybe google was spending too much money on it.
Dream to You EP 5 has a Drunk History bit and nails it. I miss that show!
I re-watched Victory and it holds up. It's a cheerleading comedy with labor rights undercurrents. Hyeri is hilarious. I hadn't realized until now that Miyeon appears in the closing credits! The soccer scenes are especially funny. He was offside for that goal! It's silly, good fun.

It's about a mile from where Jimothy has been spotted to where @brosaleigh.bsky.social will play Thursday. Seems like a vortex of goodness.
In 2023 I purchased a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM for $80. Today it retails for $175. Young hobbyists who would have created the next era of computing are being shut out by the AI madness.
Each day I backup my source code to github, OneDrive, an internal SSD, an external SSD, two external spinning drives, and two NAS devices elsewhere in my house. Then once a week to 4 SSD devices, 2 each inside and outside of my home. Photos and personal docs go everywhere except github and Onedrive.
Plash. Korean indie from Seattle performing at Timber Music Festival in Carnation, WA. They sounded so good!
Teach You a Lesson has a scene at a fictional Soyeon Girls High School. How cool would it be if Soyeon created her own High School? I mean, after she reschedules the cancelled US tour.
