One of the items from The Ordinary that’s been forever on my wish since it was launched is their lip balm. I may have had a few disappointments from the brand but most of the products I’ve tried from them seem to do their job well. Now, I’m ready to share my thoughts on it [

At one point in this movie, Kati Outinen—the star of some of KaurismĂ€ki's early films back in the late eighties, including the incredible and incredibly depressing Match Factory Girl—shows up for a brief cameo playing a glowering cashier at a miserable Helsinki supermarket. This is such a feel-bad movie that seeing...
The Vaqueros, from left: Steve Corona, Tom Corona, Larry Weld and David Heath The Vaqueros had the first release on the Audition Recording label out of Rochester, New York, “Echo” / “Desert Wind”. It hit local charts in early June, 1964 and received a review in Cash Box on June 13, 1964. Audition Label Bows with...
Book 23 for my 2026 goal of 36 books for the year! Now a little ahead with my reading schedule. My link to the book is through my bookshop.org affiliate account, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy from there. I’ve been enjoying reading some horror by Mexican authors lately such as Mexican Gothic by...
Hyperfocus: The New Science of Attention, Productivity, and Creativity by Chris Bailey, 256p: Great read about focus with enough scientific data and practical insights. The author talks about “attentional space”, which is like our RAM or the available working memory capacity. He argues that because the amount of...
My first Runsploring post was last July. Here are some things about my running in 2026 I now have a usual 5k route that I do through the neighborhood. It started out as a way to do the same route and track my speed. Rather than reinvent the wheel I stole the route from the Jack’s Abby 5k race that starts across the...
Ken shows us a ridiculous silent comedy, then re-shows it, this time splitting the image, or zoomed in on a different section, or showing an entirely different scene with a color flower and a person in silhouette for some reason. We have Peter Tscherkassky at home. Highlights from my soundtrack include Neu 2, the...
Asian Board Games Festival - Malaysia 2026 is happening Fri 7 Aug 2026 to Sun 9 Aug 2026 in Penang. Cili Padi Games will be there. This time I will have two new games, Pilgrim Poker and Malaysian Holidays. Pilgrim Poker will be available at the Cili Padi Games booth, and Malaysian Holidays at the Specky Studio...

Now

Here’s what I’m working on now, in no particular order, and mostly personal not professional. Inspired by a permanent desire to tinker with this site and the ideas in a few of the /now pages I’ve come across, see https://nownownow.com/about. The challenge will be to keep it up to date – last reviewed or updated...
Yesterday when I was giving the definitive take on Christopher Nolan’s version of The Odyssey, I made a kind-of throwaway mention of O Brother, Where Art Thou? as a case of the Coen Brothers’ being uninterested in adapting The Odyssey so much as making fun of the pretentiousness of filmmakers who’d presume to adapt...
