We’ve been long delayed watching Succession S4. The Logan Roy character played by Brian Cox has to be one of the best characters on a show. Right up there with Tony Soprano.

Yesterday Tyler was talking about 3D printers. We had an entry level 3D Printer in 2019 and realized it was missing very fundamental features to do complex prints — notably the platform wasn’t heated. I’ve been researching a bit and these printers have come a long way since then.

I have no idea what I’m doing with this 3D Printer! But it’s still fun!

I “watched” the Apple Immersive Metallica concert experience tonight and was completely blown away. I turned the volume all the way up and had James Hetfield singing right in my face. You get to see Lars Ulrich drum while watching right behind his shoulder. Incredible!

Tried the new Yonsei at Lake & Irving for the first time. It was so pretty on the plate I decided to capture it. This is Japanese fried rice with Ginger Scalion Tofu and Ahi katsu.

I asked my Weekly Thing GPT a simple question “Which issue did the Fortune first appear in?”. Seems easy enough. It came back with Weekly Thing 212 in 2022. I knew that was not right. The right answer? Weekly Thing 53. Another example where LLMs are not great at specific and exact requests. 🤨

View from the upper seat in the Urban Wing sauna while the fire is getting started. The translucent walls make it very bright and warm inside — it was 70 °F from the sun before I started the fire. Added a hygrometer, a second sand timer, and trying Eucalyptus Sauna Scent for the first time.
