The 1973 film "Don't Look Now" had me on the edge of my seat for the first 30 minutes, then I grew increasingly restless, verging on bored, before sliding into mystery and confusion and suspense so slowly that I couldn't necessarily pinpoint when I was drawn back in again.

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage. Terrible movie by contemporary standards. If you're a film nerd, more power to you, but if not, don't get suckered by the high reviewer scores.

Starting my annual attempt to learn #rust 🤞, this time targeting a hopefully-trivial command-line tool instead of something crazy complicated.
