Santa DAWS 🔊 (Aaron Richards)

Got my Favourite First Watches of 2024 list together. Managed 110 movies this year!

I think the only 5* I gave was to Mulholland Drive - after that, just a lot 4*s and other stuff I enjoyed for one thing or another 🙂

The sampling comparison is a great shout!

The amount of AI promotional advertisements I’m seeing these days is getting irritating. Nothing new to say as such, and it’s targeted advertising to a degree, but it’s the absolute drivel that is being wheeled out that is a total wind-up.

I’m no expert. Still. Ahhhhhhhh

Have you sat any/thinking about it? IIRC you’ve shared some ML stuff before!

Thanks!

Definitely beneficial overall - Google’s own modules were great, but didn’t quite cover everything required for the emac IMO, so just as well I sought out extra content/mock exams etc.

Still, really interesting, I’d recommend it with some small caveats…

Thanks Eli! And congrats to you for the ZAU noms too!! 🥳

Pleased to share that I’ve obtained my ‘Professional Data Engineer’ certification from Google Cloud!

I’ve been quiet in the audio world since around July, pivoting to focus on this, so I’m pleased it’s done!

Back to audio works soon, I think :)

Good shout! Hopefully back early 2025 :)

I’ve been studying for an upcoming Data Engineer exam. It’s been a long journey but I’m laughing because I’m rehearsing mock exams, and when I get answers right I say “fucking hell” to myself, as if I’m surprised that my revision is paying off

YouTube video by Tyler Durden Decision to Leave - VFX

Finished a re-watch of Park Chan-Wook’s ‘Decision to Leave’ and already looking forward to watching it again soon.

I also watched the VFX reel in its extras, really cool to see some of the work go in! :)

Silent Hill 2 Remake. Wow!

I’ve been unplugging from socials as of late, maybe I’ll post here more often!

Had a lot of life milestones lately (30th birthdays, daughter birthday, move from nursery to school) so I’ve been pretty busy with good stuff.

Also on a course for my Data Engineer stuff which is defo keeping me busy!

Sometimes I wish I was a horrible, gelatinous creature from beyond

“FROM.BEYOND” (short film, 13 min) «FROM.BEYOND» is an experimental short film consisting of different perspectives, referencing genres like science fiction, horror and found footage.…

Oh. I wanted to share this for fellow Horror/Sci-fi fans:

It’s a short called FROM BEYOND (not tied to the movie of the same name), a look at the beginnings of an alien invasion(?).

Looks gorgeous, sounds wonderful. Love this!!

Big fan of this idea. 🍗🍻

Outside it has been 🫡
Haha I’ve never tried those types of indoor setups! Honestly, seems like a recipe for disaster, what’s the verdict?
