Dragon’s Milk is a signature bourbon barrel-aged stout that delivers a complex flavor experience. With notes of coffee, vanilla, chocolate, and oak, it packs a punch at 11% ABV. Despite its bold, intense flavor, this beer goes down surprisingly smooth. The bourbon barrel aging adds depth and character, making each sip a rich, warming experience that’s perfect for savoring slowly.
Kodak Quietly Begins Directly Selling Kodak Gold and Ultramax Film Again
It is probably too soon to say how big of a deal this is, but it is at least exciting for people who are in the resurgent film photography hobby, who are desperate for any sign that companies are interested in launching new products, creating new types of film, or building more production capacity in an industry where film shortages and price increases have been the norm for a few years.
I remember back in the day when I was learning to shoot film. My parents would take me to the local drugstore where we’d buy Kodak Gold film. Man, that sentence makes me sound and feel so old. Anyway, those rolls came in either 24 or 36 exposures, and I had to make every single shot count. Once I’d finished a roll, we’d take it to Eckerd or whatever drugstore was nearby to get it developed.
Kodak has always held a special place in my heart, mainly because of nostalgia. After a decade away from direct sales, I’m thrilled they’re making a comeback.
iOS 26 gave AirPods Pro a new setting you might want to turn on - 9to5Mac
Sleep detection in iOS 26 pauses AirPods playback when you fall asleep
I love my AirPods. I use them occasionally throughout the day, but every night for sure. I like to listen to podcasts and audiobooks right before I fall asleep. Usually, I set a timer in case I drift off without noticing. However, sometimes I forget to set it, or I want to listen just a bit longer and end up falling asleep without stopping the audio.
Well, apparently this is a common issue, because Apple has introduced a toggle in iOS settings to “Pause Media When Falling Asleep.” They don’t really tell us how they’re detecting when you fall asleep, but I hope it’s not using the Apple Watch’s sleep features because I really don’t like sleeping with my watch on.
This toggle appears in settings for those with AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4, but it is not on by default.
Remembering: The Exorcist 🍿
Happy Halloween! Seeing all these awesome costumes everywhere got me thinking about the scariest movie I remember watching as a kid.
When I was pretty young, the scariest movies around were A Nightmare on Elm Street and the Friday the 13th series. All the kids would watch them (most of us without our parents knowing), and we’d scare ourselves to death, then lie awake at night unable to sleep. But the scariest movie I ever saw as a kid was probably in early middle school, when I watched The Exorcist for the first time.
I had a TV with a VCR in my room, and we rented it from somewhere (probably Blockbuster). I remember sitting cross-legged on the floor, watching it at night. I was completely entranced and so absorbed in the movie that something happened and I screamed. I had never screamed involuntarily in my life, but I did that night.
Today, I don’t even remember what scared me so badly, but I know it was intense. After that experience, I didn’t watch many more horror films. They’re just not my cup of tea. I prefer action movies, comedies, and historical dramas.
That one movie might be the reason I got turned off horror films entirely. Now I can watch them with no real reaction besides the occasional ill-timed jump scare, and honestly, it doesn’t bother me. Some are so ridiculous that I roll my eyes at the few glimpses I catch when other people are watching them.
Anyway, since it’s Halloween, I thought it’d be fun to start a conversation. Let’s talk about movies from our childhood that left an impact. They don’t have to be horror films, just anything that affected you in one way or another. It could be a positive impact or, like mine, a terrifying one. Go nuts and share your stories!
Signal, the private messenger, posted that they will now support Chat Folders. Now we can organize our different chats into groups like family, friends, work or even projects. I think this is a great addition to Signal. I plan to make use of this feature as soon as I see it available on my apps.
