macOS App - VVV (Virtual Volumes View) (2020) [-] Apple Insider has an article on disk catalogers and they list three. VVV is a free one though it's a basic generic UI not even sure it's Windows. Building a catalog of my Drobo took a few minutes and the file view is about what you'd expect. Search was poor: File Name (equal, starts with, contains), Extension (space-separate extensions to match), Description (equal, starts with, contains). Useful for "does this file exist?" in an offline volume but little else.
Movie - The Matrix Resurrections (2021) [/] This is a sequel to the trilogy and remains in continuity (which is nice to the alternative of a reboot). A bunch of years later Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) find themselves in an advanced simulation run by The Analyst (Neil Patrick Harris) who is trying to find a way to harness their power. More action, gunfights and explosions and the storyline avoids jumping the shark.
Podcast - Pushing Cardboard (2021) [/] A tabletop wargaming podcast that so far is ten episodes and mostly listenable. Yet I don't remember his style or what games he likes so maybe it's not that interesting if it doesn't leave an impression on me.
