    9-eyes.com is a crazy collection of what can best be described as interesting/artistic scenes captured by Google’s Streetview.

    (Yes, Winnipeg’s infamous pickup truck party makes the cut.)

    TIL William Gibson wrote an episode of The X-Files

    I’ve been re-watching The X-Files on Netflix. 1997’s season 5 has an abnormally high number of good monster of the week episodes.

    Today I watched Episode 11, “Kill Switch,” a story in which rouge AI has sexy-time with Mulder. I was pleasantly surprised (then not surprised at all in hindsight) to find out that the episode was written by William Gibson (and Tom Maddox). Directed by Rob Bowman, director of some of my favourite Star Trek: TNG episodes (like the on where Wesley Crusher falls in love with a girl who turns into a giant monster, literally).

    Anyways, check it out if you have the Netflix.

    PS. This is what email on TV looked like in 1997. Not sure exactly why they felt the need to make it look worse than reality.

Hi.

Hello, my name is Ryan! I’m a web developer in Winnipeg, Canada. I’ve been documenting my random thoughts and occasional bits of interesting code here since 2005. Twitter. Github. Instagram. Mastodon.
