I’m headed to Mexico City for the XBOX FanFest this weekend. Lmk if you are coming by !
I had a great time at @xbox.com Fan Fest in Japan and then London. Next stops: Mexico City and Toronto!
Just back from Tokyo. Now headed to London. It’s one big case of Jet Lag at this point
Sales: Research says that consumers are looking for non-Chinese made goods. What do we do. Our products are made in China. Marketing: BRB that's a simple copy change, no one will ever suspect.
I am looking for a self-hosted version of Start.me. Any suggestions? Ideally: Multi user support No YAML editing Widget support I looked at Homarr and a few others.

When I was hosting/producing the podcast, I always tried to focus on the audio of games. And get the orignal files used in games to showcase them. This is one of my favs that I got from Vince and the Respawn team for Titanfall. I loved hearing this when my Atlas Class Titan was dropping down
My newest nerd project: I am downloading (where available) PDF manuals of all of the electronics in my home. I then have AI ingest them, strip out any non-English pages and the kick out a the much smaller and screen optimized version.
Are we at the point where there is a generation online who does NOT know or remember what FLASH was?
Special thanks to @lon.tv for the sending me two Heltec LoRa 32 (with cases) to play around with off grid comms with @meshtastic.org !
Found an old USB drive with some oooooold podcast episodes on it.
It's a (Greek) tragedy that there is not a true IMAX 70MM Screen in the Seattle area. How will I see Odyssey ?
Each summer evening, I am treated to a piano recital from one of my neighbors who lives on the other side of the forest behind my home. I need to find out who they are and thank them for this midsummer musical gift.
From a gaming press event we did in the late 2000's where I got to fly (and 'shoot') in a real live dogfight. And I did pretty damn good too.

In other news, I finally got around to ripping and cataloging many of the (hundreds) of CDs I collected during my years in radio. My @unraid.net server and Plex are helping me maximize my collection
Scrolling through my LinkedIn feed recently has been emotional.
My hot sauce taste has changed (matured?) over the years. I don’t care about how hot a sauce is, I want one that is of course tasty, but also complex. This is my new favorite. It’s just three ingredients as well. A bit pricey, but quality costs. stuzzihotsauce.com
