Greetings, readers!

I recently encountered information about an interesting new hair product under development.

No, I am discussing the interesting technology involved. There is a difference.

For you see, this hair product is a dye that, after it is applied, will change colors based on its environment.

I find it fascinating that such technology exists, and is becoming purchasable.

Have a lovely day.

Greetings, readers!

It turns out that last Friday, the 13th of January, was a rather interesting day.

In addition to Flight 666 to HEL(sinki, Finland) on a 13 year old plane arriving safely, Netflix released the first season of its adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I have only watched the first episode. So far, however, it is rather droll. Part of its “charm” is that it does not let you forget that these are characters in a story. There is a narrator with deadpan commentary. The dialog is borderline stilted. Everything is just slightly overacted for the sake of melodrama. The narrator constantly reminds you can stop watching the show.

In fact, the intro song rather nicely demonstrates the tone.

When combined with Neil Patrick Haris’s acting and singing ability, it creates a rather droll tone, in a disturbed sort of way.

I am not sure if I recommend it yet, but I did find the first episode moderately enjoyable.

Have a lovely Sunday.
