This week, Crow published an interesting post about automating blog tasks. That reminded me of a few things I have done but never shared here (or on one of my previous blogs), and I think it’s time to post them here.

Going back in time, about 6 years ago (I’m getting old….), and maybe 3 or 4 different blogs/domains, I was writing anime reviews as a way to practice my English writing skills. And part of doing anime reviews is getting images and gifs, right? At the beginning, I would go to reddit.com/r/anime, open the episode’s discussion post, expand all images (with the help of RES - reddit enhancement suite), scroll to see whatever I liked and grab it. But this is not optimal, and being a developer, I started thinking of something more practical.

This weekend I’ve finished the last book in The Dragon Lords trilogy, by Jon Hollins. I think the best way to introduce it: The Hobbit meets Guardians of The Galaxy.

This week I’m here with some internet outrage agains Seven Seas, some cool articles on the anime blogosphere, and what I’ve been watching and playing!

Music

How about some Mushoku Tensei soundtrack, as the first topic of this week’s newsletter involves this franchise?

I’m here again with another Geekosaur Weekly! This is a shorter edition, due to a very busy week, and some elbow and wrist pain today. But there’s still good things to check here, so keep reading!

Music

Today we have some bluegrass with Aoife O’Donovan, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins. I’m was only familiar with Sarah Jarosz, but I think this trio presentation was quite nice! Good vibes and relaxing for the weekend.

This week I’ve been listening to Daft Punk a bit. They have recently disbanded, so I think it makes sense to feature them on an issue here!

If you never watched Interstella 5555, I highly recommend it. It’s basically an anime made for their album Discovery. I remember watching it with my friends way too many years ago. I think it’s time for me to watch it again!

February is now ended, and March is here. Definitely looking forward to a better weather, warmer and with more sunlight!

Music

Today, we have mxmtoon’s Dawn/Dusk album. Quite a pleasant music to listen to while writing this newsletter!

Better late than never: Geekosaur Weekly is a day late, but still here with some thoughts, music and quick personal updates.

Music: Berge

This week I discovered the german band Berge. I discovered then by accident, while I was trying to see if Germany had something similar to the French Chansons (like Georges Brassens). Quite pleased with the finding anyway!

Another weekly updates, thoughts, music and internet things!

Today I received a new vinyl record: Babylon Berlin Vol. 2. This is the soundtrack for the 3rd season of the show, which is odd, but the first volume contained the OST for the first two seasons.

I haven’t been buying so many books recently, which I see as a positive: I already have more books than I would need for this year, so there’s no point in spending money just to expand my library. Although it’s nice to do that, it adds some level of stress overall, as I see that huge (mostly virtual) pile of books I want to read and are there, just waiting for me. I recently wrote about ‘backlog vs collection’ in the most recent Geekosaur Weekly issue.

Anyway, I want to share of what I’ve got recently, fiction books only.
