I believe that one should control one’s writing and photographs, and this site is my home on the web for those things. I frequently post them other places too, but they generally start here. Other platforms are ephemeral—as evidenced by the many broken links here to things I found interesting in the past, but which weren’t cared for by their publisher—so I try not to post elsewhere, except as a copy.

Speaking of Daredevil, don’t bother with the podcast that is advertised at the beginning of the season 2 episodes. I’ve found nothing insightful at all in them—they are nothing but the actors swooning over each other.
This interview with Charlie Cox is longer and is a more open and insightful conversation, compared to most of the press interviews I’ve seen with him. There was a particularly good section where he discussed Daredevil: Born Again Season...
I wasn’t able to watch the California gubernatorial candidates’ debate on CNN last night, and looked for it online this morning. I’m shocked to find that it’s not available anywhere that I can see. No outlet should be allowed to host it...
This 25th anniversary “oral history” of Moulin Rouge (★★★☆☆) had some fun tidbits. I’ve always had a soft spot for this movie, although most people I know really hate it. I like musicals, and this one is so fun and has such energy—it’s...
Oof, I almost never go on Nextdoor because the discussions there always seem to be dominated by the worst, most uninformed takes, and I just avoid the whole thing. But I just went there to read a post on a topic I care about, and...
I’ve been listening to the regular Apple-related podcasts, and man, am I tired of all of the talk about the Cook/Ternus transition, to the point where I’ve just been stopping episodes midway through. I mean, of course it’s important...
