📺 The Gray Man
The Gray Man feels similar to the Bourne series. Like The Punisher, I am always intrigued with the investigation of what is right. I enjoyed the contrast in roles played by Chris Evans, something of an egotistical Captain America.

My world on the web
Welcome back to another month. I feel like it has had a bit of everything, catching up with family visiting from interstate, eldest daughter managing to go on her first school camp in three years, as well as being being thrust into health and safety protocols.
On the Work front, I feel like I have spent much of my time trying to get to the bottom of a range of new defects that have come with a recent upgrade. I am always intrigued how aspects of the application that have not been fixed or improved are impacted.
Personally, I binged quite a bit this month, including The 100, Stranger Things, Birdman, Moon Knight and The Gray Man. I also listened to Tom Tilley’s memoir Speaking in Tongues. In regards to music, I enjoyed listening to Sam Prekop and John McEntire’s modular album Sons Of.
Here then are some of the posts that have had me thinking:
