Happy 40th Anniversary The Legend of Zelda!

Ready to party like it’s 1995! #VirtualBoy #NintendoSwitchOnline

Saw Iliza Shlesinger from the front row tonight in Boston and somehow became 10 minutes of the show: me (a fellow Amazonian/Alexa guy) + “Dr. Meagan,” who got so many shout-outs from Iliza during the show that people recognized her at the nearby bar after. Surreal, hilarious, peak crowd-work energy.

Watched the Cash Money & No Limit Verzuz event from Las Vegas last night. Mia X & Juvenile definitely carried the show. As a guy who came of age in Baton Rouge & NOLA in the late 90s / early 00s, this is just a delightful watch. 😎 https://music.apple.com/us/music-video/verzuz-cash-money-x-no-limit-live/1848638971

Saw Jon Stewart do a standup special last night at the University of Rhode Island. The guy’s still got it. Some solid regional jokes about New England, too. Looking forward to seeing John Oliver up in Boston after Christmas!

Running the Providence Trifecta today: Brown vs Princeton 🏈 game, No Kings rally 🗣️, & PVD Fightin’ Parms vs Hartford 🏒 match.

Sunday experiment: testing out the Super Mario Bros. Remastered fan remake for the Super Mario 40 Celebration. 🍄 https://github.com/JHDev2006/Super-Mario-Bros.-Remastered-Public

The new Sora app is wild. Has already provided hours of fun spitballing ideas with my 4 year old this AM. https://sora.chatgpt.com/profile/justonwestern

Saturday experiment: Fire TV Stick 4K Max > HDCP Bypass HDMI Splitter > ShadowCast 2 > Genki Arcade app on iPad Pro. Fire TV + splitter powered by Anker battery pack. Why? To test/update things on my Fire TV, sans TV or AC power. 🤓

Ball ‘til you fall! 💵💵💵
