Reading, Listening, Watching

Reading: Still Extinction Event which I don't really think is much of a comment on the book (beyond an observation that it is obviously possible to put it down) but more a reflection that I've been in a slightly odd/restive/fretful mood for the past few weeks.

Listening: The Radical AI Podcast puts out episodes faster than I can listen to them. I have not quite decided what to do about this (be more selective about which I listen to? Put aside a couple of hours to binge listen in order to catch up?). There's a lot of interest in it, but also some aspects are quite repetitive.

Watching: We have discovered Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro which seems to be a kind of parallel evolution Japanese version of Scooby Doo: as in it has many iterations as a cartoon primarily aimed at a young audience with an excellent and iconic theme tune and is about the supernatural. Mind you the protagonist is a Yokai so there is no concept of meddling kids revealing that nothing spooky is going on at all. Highly recommended if you like that sort of thing.
