@Omrrc The first one was by far the best. Each sequel has been slightly more ridiculous and tedious than the previous. I will likely read the first one again at some point in the future, and maybe the second. Probably not the others.

I read some books in July! The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien Dune by Frank Herbert Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert Magic Pill by Johann Hari Children of Dune by Frank Herbert Above the Clouds by Kilian Jornet ... rob.rs

@overcastfm Here’s a bug in 2024.7[.1]:

• On iPad in landscape select any playlist with more than one episode.
• Tap the (i) button of first episode to read its description.
• Don’t tap the Done button to dismiss, instead tap outside the description pane to dismiss.
• Tap the (i) button of the second episode and note the description of the first episode is displayed.

@val I’ll definitely read again: Hobbit, Fellowship, Impossible First.

Maybe read again: Ready Player Two, Pegasus

Probably won’t read again: Dark Wire, Kleptopia, Free Time

📚 I read some books in June!

• 🎧 The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

@ericmwalk She enjoyed it enough that she sought out other books about courageous dogs!

@ericmwalk Turns out, this was one of the books my wife had already read, but they changed so many details for the movie she didn't recognize that it was supposed to be the same story until close to the end…

@odd Yes, last month was entirely audiobooks. There’s a lot of time to be had while running, walking, and doing chores.

@ericmwalk Oh wow, my wife would love this. She’s been reading book after book in this genre lately.

📚 I read some books in May! 🎧 Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson 🎧 Ready Player One by Ernest Cline 🎧 Born Standing Up by Steve Martin 🎧 Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough by Lori Gottlieb 🎧 Chip War by Chris Miller 🎧 Decluttering at the Speed of Life by Dana K.

@ericmwalk Thank you 🙏! To be honest, I think many of the smiles were performative for the camera 😁. I was very happy with how the music turned out. Glad you enjoyed!

️ I had lots of fun filming the Quad Rock 25/50 mile races today. I’ve never run 25 miles carrying a gimbal before. My shoulders and arms are wrecked.

📚 I read some books in April! 🎧 Xenocide by Orson Scott Card 🎧 You Are Why You Eat by Dr. Ramani Durvasula 🎧 Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis The first 26 books I read this year had titles starting with letters A-Z sequentially. This was an interesting challenge. I found books for each letter, though... rob.rs

@lostinhaste Ha! I haven't actually tried them yet. I should get around to that at some point...

@manton macOS system text replacements don't work in the post editor. They do work in the iOS app post editor.

@chockenberry

@dmoren I listened to the audiobook on Hoopla back in October. How is it just now being released?

@caseyliss Same.

@danielpunkass ✋. Hopefully it was the glimpse of the future aspect, which will wear off at some point.

@ericmwalk Current strategy (I have been through several) is to save them all into a folder, naming them “YYYY-MM-DD Title.jpg”, and then post-processing with a script (Wolfram Language in this case, but could be any language) to construct this image as well as custom page layouts for hardcopy I order each year.

@ericmwalk That was out family movie last night as well 👍

@danielpunkass A member of my family who competes in (and occasionally wins) 24-48 hour races claims to be "not a real runner"

@ericmwalk Ugh, this happened to me a couple months ago, unfortunately during a race. I think the action button and the other side button got squeezed between my long sleeve and my glove to trigger the pause. I didn’t notice until 45 minutes later.

@danielpunkass Pretty please, with sugar on top…

@ericmwalk Variety is the spice of something something.

@ericmwalk That right there is what I miss about the midwest. Completely different kind of trails where I live now.

@dmoren Just finished! Thanks for the entertainment 🙏
