We decided to each stay at home with Kirby for one day. His fever was down to elevated temperature. The Pediatrician had time—he usually isn't in his office on Thursday—due to having to prepare for a lecture in his office, so he said we should come by and have Kirby checked out. Pediatrician said he's on the mend, and it's unclear what caused the fever. He did a Covid19 test, which turned out negative.
In the evening we solved a few Micro Macro cases1, he read part of a Coconut the Dragon book, i read the rest, and he was fast asleep afterwards. Oh, i forgot, i got him a Lego Minifigure from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse; he got Web Slinger2.
Kirby told me about fall being near, due to the leaves turning their colour to the red spectrum, which i haven't realized while walking through the haze of everyday life. When i looked out the window at work, the sunlight hit a tree, whose leaves turned to a reddish brown. or vice versa, just right to make it glow. Look at that tree, i said to a co-worker, It doesn't justify the suffering, yet still makes me smile.

The aspect ratio of Tron Legacy are kept in the new 4k disc and the blu-ray, so some sequences considered to be eye candy are "blown up" 2,35:1 ratio to 1,78:1, due to some sequences were filmed in/for IMAX. Rejoice!

Marvel is releasing an Omnibus edition of S.H.I.E.L.D.; a classic Jonathan Hickman comic, were everyone talks in the same dull tone, is meticulously plotted, gorgeously illustrated by Dustin Weaver, had a five year hiatus between two issues, got retconned as soon as it ended, and is still a great sit. Ok, it's not all stale, Da Vinci3 is swagging through the book, while looking like he's just doing it for the enlightenment. I think it was Secret Warriors where we find out, that he built the first human decoys, Nick Fury later uses.
Look at that smug Vitruvian.
