Tales of Xillia was the first “Tales of” game that I ever imported.

Welcome to Week 3 of this year’s German Literature Month, devoted to a very special man. You see, while we’re a few months late, 2025 marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of a certain well-known German writer, so what better way to celebrate the event than with Thomas Mann Week? None, that’s what 😉 […]| Tony's Reading List
I’m afraid I may have inadvertently misled you all last time around when I said both my reads for German Literature Month’s City Week took place in Vienna.

Remember when Merriam-Webster crowned “gaslighting” the word of the year in 2022? Not, alas, because the world collectively rediscovered a black-and-white studio thriller from 1944.

The story takes place in 1880s London and is buoyed a […]| The Goods: Film Reviews
A piece of trivia that always makes me smile: at the 80th Academy Awards, my beloved Enchanted somehow earned three of the five Best Song nominations.

The new 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro is very much like its M4 predecessor, in that it’s got all the advantages of being a MacBook Pro, but by using Apple’s lowest-end M5 chip, it’s also the most affordable model. Except it’s not the lowest-end M5 chip, at least not so far. It’s the only one. Apple has released a single M5 chip and placed it in three products: this laptop, an iPad Pro, and a Vision Pro. We can probably assume that MacBook Pros powered by M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are in the ...| Six Colors
Did the Vision Pro need an update? On the one hand, no: Apple’s cutting-edge VR computer hasn’t exactly taken the world by storm. It’s a view of the future that, at its current size and price, doesn’t have much of a place in the present. On the other hand, it turns out that the M2 processor that powered the Vision Pro was underserving some of its advanced hardware. Apple also probably needed to stop making M2 chips, and the M5 is fresh out of the oven. Upgrading the Vision Pro allows ...| Six Colors
It’s been ten years since Apple released the first iPad Pro. In 2015, there were already people trying to integrate the five-year-old iPad platform into their working lives, but the wisdom of that choice seemed questionable—at least until Apple validated it by adding a true, professional-level model. Unfortunately, it’s been a decade of rough sledding. Apple would occasionally feint toward embracing the iPad as a productivity device akin to the Mac, but (with certain exceptions) the exp...| Six Colors

One of my constant frustrations in terms of grief education is the perpetuation of Kübler-Ross’s ‘stages of grief‘ model in popular culture, particularly when used in bereavement (or in an off-hand/ joke way such as “My barista has left my cafe and I’m in my anger stage…”).
