2/18/2026 Weekly what's up

What I’m reading

Finished The Adolescence of Technology. There are many possible readings of a piece like this from someone in Dario’s position, but my belief (70%?) is that it is genuine. Naive, maybe - it does feel good to believe that someone in power is thinking seriously about the risks of what is coming.

What I’m playing

Started Cairn on the way to Idaho, very impressive. Probably the best climbing mechanics I’ve played with, it is challenging and feels realistic but is fairly natural to control.

What I’m watching

We blazed through the first five episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in one evening. Great stuff, reminds me how good Game of Thrones can be. Maybe I should watch House of the Dragon? Whenever GRRM gets the next book out I’m looking forward to a re-read of the series.

What I’m up to

We went to McCall, Idaho for the weekend to ski with Kincaid and Ellie at a couple of small resorts. Fun small town, nice to have a couple of days to ski and relax but we missed Rory! Won’t leave for that long again for a while.
