I just finished watching The Mask with @NTKF, who hadn’t watched it before. This film, along with other Jim Carrey classics, was essentially my childhood. Not to mention, the song Hey, Pachuco! has to be one of the most entertaining musical numbers ever in a movie.
Sharing Home screens looks fun, so I thought that I’d jump on the bandwagon with a new page.
In the latest episode of Lounge Ruminator, No Spoilers, Please!, I explain the effort that I’ve made to avoid spoiling Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker for myself, as well how trailers could be better. 🎙

This latest episode of my Lounge Ruminator podcast, Immediate Recognition, is the result of a subtle nudge from fellow Micro.blog user @canion, who kindly responded to a post that I made yesterday about a particular movie soundtrack. I thank him for his encouragement! 🎙

PhD Journal Entry 6: Escape on Lounge Ruminator
Episode 3 of my Lounge Ruminator podcast, It’s the Principle of the Thing, is now available. In it I discuss the importance of transparent and honest design, citing the work of Scolari, Mumford and Rams in their respective fields. 🎙
During a recent commute, I thought about how the devices that we use today are already augmenting and altering our sense of reality. Read more in Rumination 58: Everyday AR on Lounge Ruminator.
Coldplay’s latest album, Everyday Life is easily the most musically interesting album since Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends in 2008. On first listen today, I had no idea where it was going—totally unpredictable.
Wow… Vivaldi recomposed by Max Richter on Apple Music
I agree with what Dan Moren has to say about autocorrect on sixcolors.com; I’d love to be able to add words to the iOS dictionary and remove unwanted ones. ‘Don’t’ often becomes ‘Donny’ for me and I don’t know anyone called Donny.

Since interacting with people on Micro.blog, I feel like my view has broadened, as I’ve seen posts from genuine people who hold different views and interests. It’s about seeing the whole tree… Rumination 51: Fabricating/Inventing on Lounge Ruminator
I still enjoy Twitter to a degree, however I’ve found that Micro.blog is where I prefer to have conversations and post anything quick that isn’t for loungeruminator.net. With that in mind, I’ve started cross-posting from Micro.blog to Twitter. Let’s see how it goes.
