I was incredibly excited about this film adaptation of Stephen King’s short story. I must have read this creepy, classic tale at least a dozen times over the past thirty-plus years. It started off well but lost momentum after thirty or forty minutes. It strayed too far from the original and lacked the same haunting quality as the short story. For me, it was incredibly disappointing.

I updated the spreadsheets for my 2025 savings plan, discovered an insightful book on syntax, completed a new image generation app while resolving a metadata issue, and began organizing my finances.

Amazon’s decision to remove the option to download copies of purchased books is concerning. For many consumers, owning a product that has been fully paid for signifies an unbreakable right. The removal undermines the sense of ownership and reliability that buyers expect, limiting access to their personal digital libraries completely.

I initially encountered an issue where every time I saved an image's
metadata using IPTCInfo3, a duplicate backup file (with a tilde at the
end) was created, cluttering my directory. To resolve this, I installed the
latest version of IPTCInfo3 directly from GitHub, which includes an
overwrite option. I then updated my code in my application to call: ipt
c_ info. save (options=[ "overwrite" ]). That change successfully
prevented the creation of the unwanted backup file.
