Star Trek Starfleet Academy – S01-EP01-04

I wrote a whole post on this show before watching it that I never bothered posting. It was basically, "People are bitching about the show without watching it, so I will "not bitch"... "anti-bitch"? ... whatever, about the show, without watching it. In the end, it felt like pointless fuel on an artificial fire. Having watched it, or at least, the first part of it, its fine. If you want the short and sweet spoiler free commentary the show is pretty good, its "more Trek" than Discovery was. I can see why some folks dislike the dialog at times. For…

Wonder Man (2026)

Is Marvel even still relevant anymore? They keep throwing out random shows like they are. Its not really clear where, if anywhere, Wonder Man fits in the "big picture", he may even just be a random one off since this show is branded Marvel Spotlight. Werewolf By Night was also a Marvel Spotlight show. It doesn't seem like its intended to be a part of anything more either. Wonder Man has been trying to.be a thing for a while though and his power set, which we don't see a lot of, is a bit more versatile than "Werewolf", so maybe.…

I've picked up yet another "Cozy Game", because this is apparently my nee favorite game genre. Palia, Infinity Nikki, Animal Crossing Pocket, probably a few others I have forgotten. Funny enough, despite several attempts, I can't get into the big name game of this genre, Stardew Valley. I think I kind of just, dislike 2D cozy games. I want my relaxing experience to look pretty, not fake old school. I should add here, I had an issue at first where the game was unplayable because my character would absolutely NOT stop running forward. I looked into the issue, it seems…

Code Project – Python – Flask Microblog Fixes

Claude is pretty great for creating code, but sometimes you have to actually look at the code. I have blogged quite frequently about my Microblog project. It started as a simple script that just ran on a timer with a manually filled queue, then it pulled from my shared RSS reader feed, and now its basically a full on blog platform. One hang up, it has been double posting posts, but not always. I asked Claude, several times, to comb through and figure out why this is, and each time it "fixed" the problem, but didn't. So I took a…

McDonald’s Changeables

McDonald's has recently brought back Changeables to it's Happy Meal toy line up. This is technically the 4th set of these with the previous sets being released in 1987, 1989, and 1990. So, thirty five years ago. Seeing as these are technically Transformers, they are popular with a lot of folks who like Transformers. They also are just, generally cooler than a lot of McDonald's Happy meal offerings. I have a sort of random assortment of the previous Changeables, and I wanted to take a bit of a quick look at them, and how they compare to the modern offerings.…
