The Last of the Sea Women (2024) [/] Documentary film about the haenyeo -- Korean women (used to be men but the work was too hard for them) living in Jeju island (and apparently Geoje island) who make their living free diving harvesting the coastal ocean floor. From a height of 30k in the 1960's there are about 4k now in Jeju and predominantly 60+ years old. We meet a couple of 30-something Geoje island haenyeo who have a YouTube channel promoting their livelihood and why it's beautiful. A big chunk is devoted to their fight to prevent Japan from releasing irradiated water from the Fukushima power plant that had a meltdown. Although the last is important I feel that was a lot of time not devoted to the haenyeo themselves and their ways. By the way I reviewed the K-drama Welcome to Samdal-ri which features haenyeos.

Mini Stopwatch - Minimal Timer (2025) [+] A free macOS menu bar stopwatch. Click and it starts, click and it stops, double click and it rests. There are a few more features if you upgrade to pro for $8 but what it has is all I need.

Stopwatch˚ (2024) [/] A free stopwatch app for iPhone/iPad. The default view has folders and multiple timers and annoyingly often has a rate me which I've done and still it comes up the next time. There's a second tab which is just one stopwatch in a UI very similar to Apple Clock's stopwatch tab. I think the only difference is Stopwatch wants you to confirm when you reset the timer. I only use the second tab and one stopwatch (I use Mini Stopwatch as a second stopwatch that runs on my Mac).

Rice-a-Roni Thai Curry Chicken [-] Rice + vermicelli. This one is red curry and a little sweet. Easy to make though I guess the flavor is a bit too subtle for me. And I'm not as much of a fan of sweet entrées. I guess I want a more spicy curry. Probably will skip in the future.
