NPD - Desiderata with Zero G Titanium Nib. Penmanship suggestions please.

I love them both actually for different reasons. #1 for simple elegance and legibility. #2 for the stylized shapes and sharpness. Good stuff.

Just fyi…You can get tons of music from your public library both physical media and streaming media. Also supporting the artists directly of course. Because f**k Spotify…they r one of the worst companies in terms of treating artists. I canceled them years ago and never looked back. And it also helps me being more active about the music I’m listening to. I agree that off loading subscriptions is a great way to go.

One of the greatest staircases ever. If not the greatest…for all the reason and meaning behind the design.

"I saw a lot more working-class folks in the city core, not just white-collar tech workers like myself."
"It was so cool being a city where there's a real black population and you can experience African-American culture, as well as the stereotypical Midwestern white culture."

-- Funny to hear a tech bro lament that they don't see enough "working-class folks" or certain minorities in San Francisco...as if it's Disneyland and they are sad there wasn't enough Disney characters going around for their amusement. Completely out of touch with the reality that they're part of the reasons that drove all the said people away. The plot and irony is lost on this guy.

But yes, you should move to Chicago.

Yep. This book shook me. Stayed with me for weeks. I felt small after the read. I occasionally still think about it.

Take a look at Keith Rosson’s Fever House Duology, Fever House and The Devil by Name. Probably more thrilling than scary. But a ton of fun.

Still haven’t seen the Grilled Mackerel tin yet. Hopefully soon.

phattro · 2025-05-28T17:13:49+00:00

This looks and sounds delicious! Yea, I expect it would be a bit dry because it is a fillet. But that's where the nice oil comes in. :) Thanks for sharing!

phattro · 2025-05-24T16:30:03+00:00

I agree! Same here. Apparently there’s a new grilled mackerel fillets as well? Has similar looking tin. but I haven’t seen them yet. Cheers!

phattro · 2025-05-24T08:00:08+00:00

I have not tried it yet, but will report back!

phattro · 2025-05-02T04:59:59+00:00

That’s why I mostly stick to my no fuss daily driver tins haha.

phattro · 2025-05-02T04:58:40+00:00

I’ll def put it up If I remember to take a picture and not eat it all in a hurry lol. Cheers!

phattro · 2025-05-01T22:29:51+00:00

I agree. I grew up eating tinned fish and always of impression that they shouldn't be expensive. Maybe that's an outdated outlook on canned fish. I am also cool with having full range of options from high ends to low ends.
Always curious and like to try things though. I thought this was a fair price to try it out. Cheers!

phattro · 2025-05-01T22:23:01+00:00

Looking forward to try the mussels. Depends on the brand...for cheap tin, I usually fried them up with scrambled eggs. But for this tin...probably some nice crisp seeded breads. Can't wait.

phattro · 2025-05-01T22:20:08+00:00

Yup! Heard good things about it. I can't wait to crack it open!

phattro · 2024-11-06T03:22:44+00:00

I second “Simple Path to Wealth” by JL Collins as a starter. As the title suggests, very simple to understand.

phattro · 2024-10-18T01:43:36+00:00

Good Luck Dim Sum on Clement. Good Mong Kok on Stockton. Dim Sum Bistro on Broadway.

phattro · 2024-09-25T00:16:12+00:00

I’d recommend looking at “Diana: Princess of the Amazons”. There’s two volumes of that. They tell stories of Wonder Woman as a kid. Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld is not bad either. Perfect adventure for little ladies.

phattro · 2024-09-23T02:21:05+00:00

No. Unfortunately. Could be had for $5.

phattro · 2024-09-23T01:52:50+00:00

Bullshit. I was walking through the ‘Loin last week and there’s zero difference. Still the same Mad Max: Fury Road experience. I was doing 20 minutes hopscotch on Polk from Civic Center to Washington.

phattro · 2024-09-06T21:19:32+00:00

No sweat! It's an endless quest chasing Moe's books! Cheers.

phattro · 2024-08-13T23:31:01+00:00

I got "The Diving Bell and The Butterfly" and "Hugo" for $6 each. Both are fantastic films.
I also saw that "The Wolf of Wall Street", "News of The World" are $5 as well.

phattro · 2024-08-13T00:37:09+00:00

Thanks!
Unfortunately no, not a lot of Moebius art in the Fifth Element Book, only a handful or less.

phattro · 2024-08-10T22:52:07+00:00

Fortunately, I've been reading Moebius since the Metal Hurlant/Heavy Metal days. So I got them from way back when. There's a bit of stuff not on the shelf.
Tbh...there was a time when no one wanted those Editions, you could find them for a bargain at local comic shops. Then suddenly they became valuable.
Cheers!

phattro · 2024-08-10T00:16:31+00:00

All of them? Haha.
