Weeknotes #27 (May 10, 2025)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I worked on
- Wrote an update post about how I am using RSS and the challenges that may come along with such: Working with RSS
- I finally got my TRMNL order delivered this week so I went ahead and got that initially set up using a local server running the Terminus software so the device itself is solely interacting with a http server on my local network. I now am planning on setting up some plugins and screens this weekend.
Things I consumed
- Continuing through Expedition 33. About halfway through the main story and I definitely have a lot of good praises for this game between the gameplay, story, music, among others.
- Apple released the first season 3 trailer for their sci-fi series Foundation. Although it is going down a different path than Asimov's novels I still am finding it an enjoyable watch.
- In the Pokemon Trading Card Game, the Black Bolt and White Flare sets were released. Two things of note was the direct orders from the Pokemon Center website seemed to do much better to block against scalpers and bots as preorders were available for 5 hours on the day orders went up. Also the two sets are going to have an illustration rare card for each of the over 150 Pokemon from the Generation 5 games which is the most illustration rare cards they've ever done for a set.
