Code Project – Python + AI – Porting Playlists With Python

I had a brief sting last year where I was using Spotify, but I dumped it, mostly for financial reasons, but also because as much as I like the ability to just, listen to whatever, I kind of dislike the whole "Music as a service" aspect. I can still find new stuff via Youtube and then add it to my list of "Albums to maybe buy eventually". One thing I lost though was my Playlists. I was worried they were just gone, soon after logging in, I swear they hd just vanished, but checking now, they seem to all be…

LinkedIn Daily Games

A lot of people like to play brain games, and while Crosswords have been popular for a while, Wordle really popularized the whole "Once Daily" craze for online games a few years ago. I have done Wordle, and a ton of variations on Wordle. I did Sudoku for a while. I was even doing Crosswords for a bit. Currently, my go to is the daily LinkedIn Games. They are in the app, they may be on the web too, I don't know, I don't look at the website. Hell, I don't even really look at the app except to play…

Record Store Day 2025

Another year, another Record Store Day. Though for my part it was Record Stores Day. This is only the second time I went to one of these, last year I don't think there was anything I wanted. This year there was, this super cool 10th anniversary release of CHVRCHES Every Open Eye. It's getting a regular release later, but it won't be the pretty "Clearest Blue" color. Like the song, on the album, possibly the best song in their catalog. I am there in the middle in the green jacket. The store is around the corner and half a block…

A Brick of Coffee

Let's do a "boring post". I bought a coffee brick. It's not fancy, it came from Aldi. Hell, it's possible this is the "least fancy" way to make coffee. Most of the time these days I buy beans and hand grind them, but I like to keep alternatives in case I am feeling lazy. So I decided to try the "brick coffee". I was not sure what to expect here at all. Would I need to cut slices off and grind them up? Would I need some sort of other thing I didn't have, how do I store it between…

SH Figuarts – Naruto Ichiraku Ramen Set

For a variety of reasons, the bottom has basically dropped out on my collecting. Some of its finances based, some of it is just kind of, saturation, I guess. I also feel like my interests in what I buy has entered a kind of weird abstract and less focused area. Some things I have been somewhat keeping up interest in is props.and accessories. Maybe I will actually start using them to take cool photos more, but for now, I have been collecting them for a while. Sometimes its cheap sets from Five Below, sometimes its exotic items like a fancy…
