recap
Busy week at work and otherwise. That’s only to be expected after having missed the previous due to flu.
Anyway, here’s a slice of this week:
- Lemmy has bought a third pinball machine. Indiana Jones. Tough shots, but good fun. I still suck at it, less than 200M after a score or so games.
- No NHL despite a new round of negotiations.
- Missed NBA allstar game, and the collateral games.
- Finally wireless at Lavonardo HQ. A spare SMC box on loan provides immorally convenient web access from sofa.
- Haven’t seen too many movies on the Metacritic’s worst movies page. And some do not belong here… Like 8 mm, way better than what the score indicates. Most of the others probably deserve what they get.
- Kipinä seems to be quaintly Kaurismäkiän in its interior decoration.
- Lewis Trondheim’s Jussi
Jänis is the best new comic since… since… dunno, Fables? - Saved the city of Bögenhafen.
- Teräsbetoni shows that you can take it one step further from Manowar. The first single’s A-side is decent in a slightly cringe-inducing way, B-side not so very good at all.
- Eatz’s kaiten serves a decent miso, but hides utterly inappropriate chunks of red bell pepper in some makis. There ought to be a law. Or at least a “creativity”-warning sign.
- Carcassonne got a surprising positive review in a column in Taloussanomat. The publisher, lautapelit.fi hit the resurrection of boardgames perfectly. Apart from their shortage of the basic game. To be complemented by the first expansion’s translation next week.
- Both Kaisla and Teerenpeli sell very good wintry stouts. This is not the season of lager and hefeweizen.
- Excel’s conditional formatting continues to suck in ways not imaginable. But contrary to initial beliefs, you can do multi-cell references.
