John C. Dvorak was awesome — a no-BS tech journalist for decades whose sharp columns in PC Magazine and elsewhere cut through hype with real insight and cranky wit. As co-host of No Agenda with Adam Curry since 2007, he delivered grounded media analysis, skepticism, and humor that built a loyal following. Straight man to the chaos, legend in podcasting and tech commentary.

A real loss. Condolences to his family, Adam, and all hurting right now. RIP JCD.

Watched Nolan's Odyssey. Some quick thoughts:

- Unexpectedly for Nolan, the film has no memorable score. I left the cinema unable to remember a single melody. It's a shame, especially given that one of the earlier trailers featured a promising one.

- Some of the harder-to-pull-off scenes were surprisingly good. I liked the disfigured Cyclops and found his screeches haunting. I particularly enjoyed how Circe transformed Odysseus' men into pigs. And not letting us hear the sirens was the right choice.

- Odysseus killing the suitors was probably the most disappointing scene. The fighting felt clumsy, slow, cheap. Underwhelming after a 3h build up.

- I couldn't care less about armors, columns, etc. being "unrealistic". The film has its own design language, as is to be expected. Agamemnon as a sort of giant stallion was an odd choice but it conveyed his power. The "grey-washing" also wasn't as bad as some say.

- Casting was obviously biased and often ridiculous. I would have loved to see more grand, beautiful people, rejoicing in their strength. You never get the sense that anyone is a force of nature. Profoundly un-Homeric.

- Nowhere is this clearer than in Odysseus, who is guilt-ridden and exhausted. There is no Homeric pride in him. No great hubris. He blames his trickery for unleashing 10 years of rage onto Troy and effectively suffers from PTSD. Yet another round of post-WWII Oppenheimer-y "what have I done"-ness. This is my biggest grievance.

- You would think that given how they mention "Zeus' law" (xenia) every other minute, they would remind the viewer that the Trojans broke it at Sparta by taking Helen. Or that it doesn't really apply to a war setting. Or that the war itself was sanctioned by the gods. They never do.

Overall, rather than trying to understand Homer on his own terms, the film asks Homer to conform to ours. In that sense, it is predictably disappointing. As a piece of entertainment, though, it is actually enjoyable.

The Odyssey is, at its core, about a man whose extraordinary intellect wins him admiration, opportunity, and favor of those around him. Yet his greatest adversary is often his own ego.

The irony is that Nolan may be closer to Homer’s Odysseus than his own adaptation is.

@harnidhish This is exactly how I’ve felt watching it. The music bit got me too. It’s a shame you have the incredible sound design in parts (the Cyclops scene comes to mind) but the music never quite gets to that level.

Supply chain attack on axios 1.14.1 - even if you don’t use axios it may be a nested dep.

Pin versions or wait until this is resolved
