Reviews of books and comics I've read, movies and shows I've watched, places I've been to, software and products I've used, games I've played, restaurants I've eaten at, businesses where I've shopped, and so on.
Latest
- Star Trek: Discovery - Season 4 ★★★★☆ Burnham comes into her own as captain, the Federation faces a large-scale scientific hazard, and people make disastrously bad choices, along with some cool xenoarchaeology and a fascinating first contact with aliens who are very much not human.
- RSS Parrot ★★★★★ A simple Fediverse service that follows an RSS/Atom feed and creates an account you can follow from Mastodon or any other ActivityPub site.
- MapComplete ★★★★☆ A web app that guides you through updating OpenStreetMap by category, similar to StreetComplete but with a different set of features.

Notes
Dates and cross-posting: The oldest reviews have been moved or copied over from my blog or third-party sites where I originally wrote them (social media posts, reviews at Yelp or Amazon, etc.), and I've kept most of the original publication dates. When I make substantial changes (not just fixing typos or updating links or tags) I add an updated date to the article.
Sometimes I still cross post (usually abbreviated versions) to sites like Bookwyrm, AlternativeTo, or store listings, where a review is more likely to be seen.
Not AI: Yes, these are a real person's opinions. Yes, the website has em-dashes and curly quotes. Proper typography predates AI by decades, even on the web.
