The /r/MLS subreddit has been running a series of posts about the “Countdown to Kickoff”, giving overviews of a MLS team’s previous season and their upcoming season. The MLS season just kicked off over the weekend and I noticed that no one had written one about the team I support, the Vancouver Whitecaps, so I took it upon myself to write one!

Other than a quick trip to Las Vegas for CES, I spent the entirety of January at home! It was great to get caught up on life, films, and TV shows. I still have a few of the most loved movies of 2024 to watch - Nickel Boys, Babygirl, Queer, Nosferatu, and The Brutalist. Hopefully, in February, I’ll make it through a few more of them.

The way we consume news is changing. Are daily podcasts like The Daily about to become obsolete? AI is here, and it’s changing everything.

It’s hard to believe this is my fourth year writing this blog post. It feels like these last four years have flown by in the blink of an eye. In that time, I’ve lived in four different houses, flown on countless flights, and written nowhere near as many blog posts as I intended.

Another year of these Media Diet posts! I was hoping to get a lot more writing done in 2024 than I did, but I’m happy I at least kept these up. I spent a few weeks of December sick, which makes for a unique media diet. A few shows watched start to finish and an entire 15 book series read over two weeks.
