What I'm Reading
During the month of May, me and a ton of other bloggers are participating in WeblogPoMo2024 where we've all agreed to write and publish something every day. Most of us are Mastodon users and it's easy to follow the hashtag. Every day I get more than 50 new blog posts from people like me who believe in the IndieWeb ethos and are doing their best to share something with the Internet writ large. I've read stories about life in the Cold War British Royal Air Force, read recipes from a family cookbook a friend is transcribing and learned a lot about life in other tech fields that parallel but don't match my own.
What I'm Watching
- Wonder Woman didn't like The Sympathizer and I kept falling asleep while watching, so I guess we aren't going to finish it.
- One of our favorite characters on The Good Doctor got killed off
- We finished The Tourist with Jamie Dornan. Good show. Meh ending.

What I'm Enjoying
I've had a subscription to Trakt for nine years. It's an online service with a website and an app that let's me track what TV shows and movies I watch. It also lets me compile a watch list and keeps a calendar to show me when my shows are airing, something I thought we'd gotten away from in the streaming era but networks like AppleTV+ and HBO/Max are back to dropping one show a week. Trakt has lots of extras, like the ability to post my watched shows to my Day One journal and to this very page. I've used other services like IMDB and Sofa Time and I prefer Trakt.
