Cursor in Limbo – How IBM Almost Slept Through the "Click" Revolution 🖱️
In the history of technology, few moments are as ironic as when an industry giant ignores an invention that eventually changes the world. The story of IBM (International Business Machines) and their cool reception of the computer mouse is a classic case study of how the "curse of knowledge" and engineering hubris can blind even the most powerful players. 🏢

History of The Three Stooges (Part I: The Beginnings and Columbia Pictures - 1920s-1936)
I have been itching to write about The Three Stooges on Vocal for close to two years, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. I wanted to do it by third Stooge, but that's a bit complicated. I know this much. I was about eight or nine years old when I first saw The Three Stooges. I remember one of my local channels had the Stooges on for hours, and I tried my damnedest to be up for those shorts. I remember that the Family Channel actually had an hour of the Stooges on from 11PM to midnight, and it was the entire library on during that time.

Series To Watch
I am certainly no stranger to a tv series and everybody knows that in my life. The amount of time I have spent in my existence watching shows on the television or my computer is honestly embarrassing considering I'm not getting paid for it. Maybe someone should be paying me for it. However, it does mean I get to share it with you, dear people. I will do a list order first, don't worry.

Book Review: "The Palace"by Gareth Russell (Pt. 3)
This review covers chapter 7 to chapter 12 *** We're carrying on with our review of The Palace by Gareth Russell and I cannot lie, I am devouring this book so thoroughly I might just go back and read the whole thing again. Chapters are named after rooms, whispers are carrying gossip from chamber to chamber, ladies in waiting are also ladies of intrigue, there's so much to digest. I love Gareth Russell's writing as well, it makes for such interesting reading as I feel like I could shut my eyes and watch Edward VI participating in jousts and games in a place like Hampton Court, made for entertainment.

Oscar Prognostication 2026
DONOVAN’S OSCAR PROGNOSTICATION 2026 Oooo, a fun new theme for the Oscar films this year: generational trauma. A lot of dads (and some moms) making movies in 2025, doing therapy on film and trying to work through their fears as a parent (and hoping their kids don’t end up hating them and writing a book about them). As usual, it makes for such a fun crop of movies. So get comfortable for our session, while I lay on a couch and rant about my 27th annual Academy Award predictions. (We'll both probably need therapy by the time this is over.)
