What I'm Reading, Listening To, and Watching

  • I started reading Never Flinch by Stephen King. It's too early to give a verdict, but he is one of the best storytellers alive today.
  • My wife and I have watched the first two episodes of Dept. Q. So far we like it, but note that it definitely earns its TV-MA rating.
  • We also started watching Stick, staring Owen Wilson. Entertaining, but the language is unnecessarily rough. I personally don't mind foul language in a show if it serves a purpose. In this show, it does not.

Resource

Last week I shared a Google Sheet listing of my Youtube videos. I'm replacing it with Airtable, which is a fancy database-driven spreadsheet that updates automatically when new videos are published. It also has some more data about each video. You can access it here. Note that the topic column is blank. I'm working on adding an AI integration to automagically add the topics.


Best,

Rob Berger
