Geekery
Whatever I’m geeking out about at the time.
Me, surveying my #StarTrek book collection: “Yeah, I’m a little bit of a geek”.
My wife: “No….”
Me: “…I know where this is going.”
(Every shelf is double-stacked; most of those are #TOS novels. Please forgive the weird distortion from the pano camera mode.)

There’s no such thing as too many books…until you have to move them all. Oof. Ow.
But! After a full day of emptying out one storage unit, packing stuff into a U-Haul, driving over the mountains, and packing half (non-books) into a new smaller storage unit and half (books) home, we are now finally entirely done with Ellensburg!
Happydancing will commence when we have the energy to move again.
Book twenty of 2018: Underworld, by Greg Cox. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Neat long look at how Netflix is doing what it’s doing in The Netflix Binge Factory: “Netflix is hiring everybody in and out of Hollywood to make more TV shows than any network ever has, and it already knows which ones you’ll like.”
The book After Man: A Zoology of the Future imagines what animals might look like if humans went extinct, and absolutely captivated me when I was a kid. Neat to see a new edition is being released. Recommended!
Today’s bit of awesomeness: the THX “Deep Note” sound…acapella!
Book nineteen of 2018: Crossplay, by Niki Smith. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book eighteen of 2018: Cormorant Run, by Lilith Saintcrow. ⭐️⭐️
“The Deep Note, the distinctive synthesized crescendo that is THX’s audio trademark, is one of the most iconic sounds in all of film. For the effects firm’s 35th anniversary, they’ve now shared the sheet music behind the sound.”
