Cheri (micro.blog)@MrHenko I liked that one! And I was pleasantly surprised by the movie adaptation: Arrival
(Sorry for the late reply to this.) I really liked Arrival as well. Really, really liked it. It’s the reason I bought ”Stories of Your Life and Others”. And I gotta say, this is a case where the movie is actually better than the source material, in my opinion. So far I’ve really loved the first story in the collection (the one about the Tower of Babel) and ”Seventy-Two Letters” that I’m currently reading.

and tagged it with Books Reading I still have a hard time to reconcile the fact that reading fiction, that was such a large part of my identity as a child and a teen, is something that I do so rarely these days. Part of that is how slowly I get through even books I really love from authors that are among my favourites.
Case in point, William Gibson and his ”Blue Ant Trilogy”. According to my Reading page I read Pattern Recognition in 2013 and now, in august 2020, I finished Zero History. I really like Gibson and this trilogy has been a blast but still it’s taking my seven years to get through.
I wonder how much time I’ve spent browsing timelines and listening to people going on and on about the same things in podcasts during those same seven years.
That being said, this year might be a bit different. As I said, I’ve just finished Pattern Recognition but I’m also half-way through a bunch of books, some audio books some paper/Kindle books. I occasionally actually manages to convince myself to read a bit for pure pleasure. That makes me happy.

and tagged it with Reading Ted Chiang Cheri (cheri.micro.blog)Hey, Ted Chiang has a short story up on Medium this week. 📖 He always blows my socks right off.
[Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom](https://onezero.medium.com/anxiety-is-the-dizziness-of-freedom-b5ab45cae2a5)
Thanks for pointing us to this one. I’m currently reading Chiang’s ”Stories of Your Life and Others” and really liking it. Will add this one to my reading list and read it as soon as I’ve finished ”Seventy-Two Letters”.

and tagged it with TV shows Westworld The quality of Westworld season 3 episodes vary a lot. The other day I watched episode 4 (”The Mother of Exiles”) which was a really good one. Tonight #5 (”Genre”) which might have been the first truly bad episode of Westworld.

and tagged it with Sandman 
Colin Walker (colinwalker.blog)How have I not known before now that (the first 3 books of) The Sandman has been adapted into a ”radio play” for Audible? And with Gaiman himself narrating no less.
I had heard about this but I thought is was for the whole Sandman series so I have purposefully avoided it since I haven’t read the whole series yet. Thanks Colin for letting me know that it’s just the first three books. I’ll need to look into this now.

@MrHenko har funderat på Linode många gånger men eftersom släkten har sin email på mina domäner så blir det för dyrt att ha två tjänster
@jemostrom Det kan jag tänka mig att det blir. För min del så var det ett antal webbsajter och sen bara min egen e-postadress så jag kunde skaffa en enda VPS hos Linode för alla sajterna och sen FastMail för min e-post och fortfarande komma billigare undan än med Binero.
