And...here's my TVTime Year In Review, which they call a Rewind (do people get the reference anymore? 😅).I am not surprised that my first tracked viewing was Googlebox UK, there is usually some Christmas or New Year's special that's available on Channel 4.  I am also not surprised at the "Drama Devotee" style of watching because last year I spent a lot of time binging all the various

Another quick binge near the end of 2024. This one is Agatha All Along, on Disney+. The idea behind this series is that three years after being trapped under a magical spell in the town of Westview, New Jersey (at the end of WandaVision), the witch Agatha Harkness escapes with the help of a mysterious teenager who wishes to face the trials of the legendary Witches' Road. Without her magical powers,

2024 saw the final hoorah for the Arrowverse with the end of Superman & Lois. With this finale, we ended the10 year arc of the Arrowverse, or 23 years of broadcast TV DC Universe if you count Smallville since Superman & Lois is a bookend to the Smallville series which started in 2001.Anywho... Superman & Lois is actually one of those parallel universe shows which was initiated by the Crisis

Another looking back at 2024. This one I finished (again) on 11/3.  I thought that I had played this game a while back, but I either didn't write about it, or both the search capabilities of Blogger and Xbox stink.Anyway, I started playing the New Colossus, when I realized that it was a sequel to The New Order, so I went back to this, only to realize that I had played it back in the XBOX

Both Google Photos and Flickr got into the "year in review" trend.  I decided to include them both here because they are both photo-related.  Flickr is a bit more basic with some stats, whereas Google creates some nice videos for you.  If you've gone through and have tagged people in your photos, one of  the recap videos it creates is your most photographed people (which is

Catching up on writring a little bit about TV and video games I watched (or played) this past year... To kick it off, I thought I'd write a little bit about Motherland: Fort Salem.  For October I meant to watch themed movies and shows (you know, horror and witchy stuff), but I only managed to binge this series 🙃. I finished it just before Halloween so I was within my self-imposed time frame

 Well...this one was a suprise... Grammarly is doing a Year in Review, and I guess by whatever metrics they've collected and measured from the emails, proposals, and papers I've written in 2024 I am an "inventor" 😹

It's a truism that I don't play a ton of Steam games. I have Steam, GOG, and Epic (and Amazon) installed on my Windows Partition on my MacMini, and while I spend about half my computing time on Windows, I don't really play enough to make a dent in statistics for some kind of year-in-review algorithm to give me something interesting.  The only thing you can tell from this is that I like Star Trek

Microsoft is doing a Year In Review for Xbox again! Woohoo!!!This one (compared to TrueAchivements) gives you your playstyle. No surprises there, I play a lot of FPS games, but the surprise is that casual card games overshadow my more console-y games.  You can still see Assassin's Creed Mirage, and Wolfenstein: The New Order in my top games, but Star Trek Resurgence didn't make it.  I think

I checked out my TrueAchivement's YearOnXbox summary first this year. Similar to Untappd, they have a billboard-style summary, and a rolling video, which I used SnagIt to capture. I was surprised that I spent THAT much time on a casual game! It started with a round of Wordle (which is untracked) Solitaire every evening while watching TV, and by the end of 2024 it was Wordle, MS Solitaire, MS Wordament,
