"Diamonds Are Forever" film review with poster. It mentions Sean Connery and the film's energy being lost after a strong start. Features a diamond heist, colorful characters, weak chase scenes, and an ending with two individuals falling from a boat. Options: Pass, Okay, Great, Fantastic.

I cannot wait to play this!
Shouting out @studioneat.bsky.social . Not only do they make the best pens, they also have killer customer service!
Thank you @gruber.foo !
I think this every time I hear someone who proclaims to enjoy mechanical watches mention Apple Watch design being the same YoY.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969 movie review by Peter R. Hunt. Critique highlights a different vibe from Lazenby compared to Connery. Describes movie as more akin to Corleone's Italy than a classic spy film. Reflects on 60s era ending, anticipating Bond 1970 edition. Ratings: Pass, Okay, Great, Fantastic.
George Lazenby’s Bond was okay. About to experience the end of Connery and beginning of Moore’s run.
Hell yeah
"You Only Live Twice" 1967 film review by Lewis Gilbert. Critique mentions long sightseeing and training scenes, with a reveal of Dr. Evil's face. Reviewer finds it not worth watching; rates as "Okay". Options below are Pass, Okay, Great, Fantastic. Poster shows people in swimsuits, one holding a gun.
My least favorite of the Connery Bond films I’ve watched so far.

1000% agree. These were on my Christmas wish list (sold out) and this blog reminded me to snag a pair. Glad you’re enjoying them!

Thanks for the writeup. I immediately grabbed the launch deal after a few seconds of the trial. This feels snappy and the perfect replacement for Fantastical / Calendar 366 II for my work computer’s menu bar.
Thunderball movie review card. Features the 1965 poster with scuba divers and beachgoers. Caption: "Back to better form. The villains lay out their motivation and then get to work. Way better than the late-to-develop plot in Goldfinger." Rated "Great."
From Russia with Love > Dr. No > Thunderball > Goldfinger

The Running Man movie poster by Edgar Wright, 2025. Features action scenes with various characters. Review reads: 'The soundtrack was great. The plot moves fast but never connects the bigger storylines. No character connection or motivations. Easy skip.' Rating: Pass.
Easy pass on The Running Man.
This app is so good I already hope you expand to the other Apple devices 😂. Fantastic app!
Damn, @aeronautapp.com is fantastic. Uninstalling the BSKY PWA right now.
Great callout @gruber.foo !

Quick blog on my journey on using Linux as my main OS. tl;dr: I need more time to setup and tweak settings, so I'm on Windows when I want to game in interim.

Giant Gundam statue at an industrial site with text overlay: "When they call your Gundam a Transformer." The statue is intricately detailed with a red, white, blue, and yellow color scheme, standing in front of metal scaffolding.
My partner said Gundam and Transformers are the same thing 😭
The iOS team working on keyboard accuracy should try typing Metaphor ReFantazio multiple times and see how accuracy works out…or any other common word because we can't land the fundamentals
From Russia with Love film cover featuring a character with a gun and a woman in an elegant dress. Text notes the 1963 Terence Young film marks the first appearance of Q, lauds the cast and vivid locations, and praises Connery. Rated 'Great' with buttons for Pass, Okay, Fantastic.
More James Bond goodness. I feel like this is my true "first watch" since I can only remember the opening garden and chess scenes from when I watched as a kid.
Literally fall asleep to podcasts interviewing Linux hardware CEOs 😂
Artwork of 'Dr. No' featuring a man in a suit with arms crossed, flanked by a woman in a bikini. Explosions and action scenes depicted below. Review text praises the original Bond film as a blend of detective and spy thriller. Rated 'Great' in viewing categories.
Watching every James Bond movie this year and we start with Dr. No.
Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, set against a post-apocalyptic background with the game's logo above. The text describes the game as a 2018 title by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios, appealing to fans with some grind-heavy side stories. Options for rating include Pass, Okay, Great, and Fantastic. Great is selected.
Replayed Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise after rediscovering what makes Yakuza / Like a Dragon games great.
If I write one blog this year, it's going to be about all the stuff I enjoyed last year
