The reason Wii is out is I guess genz has a new found love of nostalgia? Last time we had a party at ours the teens took out the Wii, connected it to tv and enjoyed themselves for hours! And now my kid is like we are going to make a regular thing in our get together. Everything old is coming back!

Spent the evening playing wii with fam. I really feel Nintendo missed a best by not developing the original Wii further. The switch is no compromise to playing tennis with Wii sports – that feeling of fun using true nunchuck and controller still exists.

I did not know Apple and Google had a data transfer partnership where I can ask Apple to transfer all my iCloud Photos to Google Photos and I don’t have a thing. I wish Amazon and Google had a similar partnership – if I could move all my photos from my amazon photos backup to Google photos backup, I’d be set and I could get rid of Amazon photos forever.

I am otherwise liking Stranger Things S5 but for love of god Vecna just do something about Holly already for me. Has to be 2025’s most annoying character on TV.

No one takes “Atithi Devo Bhava” adage as seriously as a golden retriever.

This is a really nice video podcast on big tech and general thoughts most of us techies in our 40s feel:

Next time Australians English or Indians themselves complain about pitches in India they should take a look at this ashes series. Jesus 20 wickets again in a day at MCG? Even rank turners in Delhi don’t do this on day 1.

Spent the morning tinkering around with my blog to import my tweets. Finally thanks to gemini I found a decent solution that works and also did not make my posts a mess with some 50k tweets. The tweets are still an archive on a separate page but within wp-content so I keep all of it one place. Works well and exactly what I wanted.

This Christmas I got a ultra cheap camera for the teen coz she’s even begging me for it. Clearly she is a part of Gen Z obsession with nostalgia filters. She spent the entire morning exploring how to best use the camera – I am so hoping she picks up photography with great interest coz I would love to have a partner in crime photographing!
