I finished two books this week and that's more than I've finished in months. Its not just pure enjoyment. Its carving out time and prioritizing.

And this is fiction specifically. I enjoy reading. I have to remind myself that I do in this modern, crazy world though.

@robertoblake @itssunpi This setup has been inspiring me for years. It first got me looking at ultrawide displays and dedicated camera setup for livestreams.

I'm about to dive into Eric Liddell's life because his quotes are stirring something in me that I haven't felt in a long time.

@robertoblake Worth every penny it seems. I’m working to get to this point. Having my own house is the first real step for me. The idea of having to break everything down to move it when necessary keeps me on the leaner side of a library and setup.

RIP Marcia Lucas, ex wife of George Lucas and Oscar Winner for her editing of Star Wars.

She let rip on the Disney Sequels and every single word was true. They never did call her.

@robertoblake Doing so would also reduce decision friction: fewer options, less decisions to have to make in some situations.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@DiscussingFilm To an extent the driver isn’t wrong. Half the development was done by the time Jackson signed on so he didn’t get to call the shots from the beginning like with LotR. He was what third director or something too?

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@mobfighter63 @SWForce4EU I think that’s a good distinction. Most of Star Wars is space fantasy like lightsabers and the Force. Andor is actual sci fi by comparison.

@AuthorGFAllen Lois Lowry. Read The Giver because it had an award. Far more depressing than I needed as a child. Decided I'd just never read anything she ever wrote again.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@mobfighter63 @SWForce4EU Andor seems more like a show set in Star Wars than a Star Wars show, if that makes sense. Like how some tv shows do a random musical episode. Its fine for what it is, but we all know its not the main focus. Andor is cool in its place, but if you try and expand it, it loses spark.

@robertoblake I definitely misread this at first that "buying an audience" is better and I thought you got hacked 😂

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@robertoblake Wife and I have considered it but haven’t done it yet. Been looking at getting a starlink and using it on the train to get some work done though.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@470bce @ButtercupPB @ScriptTrooper That’s what I’m thinking

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@ButtercupPB @ScriptTrooper Oh I know, I worked in the mall when they first introduced Ocean back in college. I just think B&BW licensing this was a misstep if their goal was more men. Feels more like it’s there for women to buy FOR men rather than something men will go seek out.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@ButtercupPB @ScriptTrooper Just not sure which man is going to go search this out. Most men won't end up in a B&BW on accident, and the ones that go for things for a collectible item...don't...generally...shower. Stereotypes in play, but this feels like a misstep.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@anthony_lipira @ScriptTrooper I think it has more to do with the fact that this display is INSIDE a Bath & Body Works.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@AlexAndBooks_ Is it generally the same? Yes. But precision in language matters IMO so I say NO, but no less valuable necessarily. Its listening not reading. We have a different word for it. That's my only quibble in the conversation.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@robertoblake Facts. AI is a generator. You still have to take that power (code) generated and link it to things to make anything happen.

[Peter Thompson @JediPeter]

@SWForce4EU $20-$40 was the benchmark for a lot of Star Wars sets around ‘05. They used to put one or two licensed minifigs per set. Now it’s a way more than that. Licensing fees on those seem to jack the price way up.
