For Better Or Worse, 'The Odyssey' Is Peak Christopher Nolan

And so we have his vision of The Odyssey, a massive, operatic cinematic experience mostly about the story's own operatic massiveness. In many ways, Nolan especially has always been making The Odyssey from the inside out, obsessed as he has been with his own harrowing quest to make big, majestic spectacles.

Just testing out linkblog posts from my new publicly available web app, Readding, that turns your Linkding links into a beautiful read it later experience and lets you post to Ghost or Pika blogs.

Aphera /// A Mac photo editor

Aphera is the Raw photo editor built natively for Mac, with a from-scratch imaging pipeline and a workflow designed to disappear.

I played around with the beta of this and got a little confused, but finally watched the quick two minute demo and it instantly clicked for me. I highly recommend checking Aphera out. It's fast and a delight to use--plus you can buy it and not pay a subscription, which is a nice change of pace.

The Struthless Shop

I'm a big fan of Struthless, his art style, his books, his general mindset. He also makes these cool zines, worksheets, and prompted journaling exercises I've downloaded in the past. Well he now as this killer retro site where you can download any and all of em for free.

Stacey King, Bulls broadcaster and 3-time NBA champion, dies at 59

He spent the past 19 seasons as a television analyst on the Bulls’ game broadcasts and hosted a popular podcast called “Gimme the Hot Sauce.”

Catching up on old links and this was an old one that hit me hard and didn't want to forget... Not only was Stacey King a 3-time champion on the Jordan Bulls and the absolute best color commentator, but he was my park district league basketball coach as I played with his two sons before eventually playing against their AAU Dream Team later on. And while it was a long time ago, I can tell you his jolly demeanor on TV was not an act—he was smart, passionate, and his joy was infectious.
