It’s time for another film roundup. These are the films I’ve seen in cinema in February and March 2018. Phantom Thread ★★★ 1/2 PT Anderson’s best movie in a while. I am definitely going to watch this one again. I’ve seen every Oscar nominee for “Best Picture” besides Darkest hour and this one one should have won […]

I am mostly writing this for my own reference. Because of the Sketch mask trick, when trying to export icons they had a mask in them that I did not want. Basically I had to remove all masks across 75 icons. Since SVGs are just text files, you can do some regex processing to find all […]

This film has gotten some good reviews but it didn’t really do it for me. I didn’t connect with the film at all. There was good imagery and a great […]

Maybe it’s because I am now a recent convert to the Church, or maybe it’s because I am looking for excuses to get my steps per day up, but I’ve been going to the cinema so often, it’s a bit crazy. Just today, I cancelled my Netflix account in a vow to be more picky in what “content I […]

A few days I subscribed to the Kermode podcast. I listened to one very long episode and I already love it. They were talking about Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (★★★), and even interviewed the director Martin McDonagh. Last night I saw this film and I must say it was very, very good. It even surpassed Molly’s […]

A new year, and a bit of difficulties in business led me to a lot of thinking. This post doesn’t have a lot of structure, but I hope the combined thoughts make some sense and give you something to think about as well. In my day job, I am a UI designer, and most of […]

I made a side project, showing off my favorite things released in 2017. If you don’t care about the details and/or technicalities and just want to see the result, check out the project here. Intro I love end of year lists. It’s always nice to have a backlog of great movies to watch or albums […]
