Bryce Moore's Blog

Sorry there hasn’t been much coming out of me in terms of posts this week. It’s been . . . a pretty long week. It started off with a minor crisis over the weekend that culminated in a front page article in the Portland Press Herald about the Maine Library Commission and the definition of […]

BYU was going to play basketball against UConn over the weekend at TD Garden (the same place the Celtics play). UConn’s a perennially good basketball team, and this year is supposed to be a great year for BYU, as well. (But if I’m being honest, it wouldn’t have mattered how good or bad BYU was […]

Two and a half years ago, I wrote a review for Physical 100, a South Korean game show where they pit 100 different athletes against each other in a quest to “find the perfect body.” That’s really just a lot of mumbo jumbo for what the show really is: a series of physical challenges where […]

A few weeks ago, I scheduled a one way ticket from Salt Lake to Portland that was going to connect through Newark. Pretty straightforward. Nothing really noteworthy. Except then I got a brief email from United that they’d made a slight schedule change. Now, I was going from Salt Lake to Los Angeles to Newark […]

Hard to believe it’s only been a year since the last election (it feels more like 5), but here we are again. Today’s vote in my neck of the woods in Maine is much more limited: only two questions on the ballot, neither one of which are particularly difficult decisions for me. Then again, just […]

Daniela was gone for the evening on Monday, so Denisa and I were looking for something to watch with Michaela.

Here at the library, we started playing music in the Coffee Bar around a year or so ago. The university has a subscription to Sirius (though it doesn’t have all the channels), and it made sense to have something playing in a cafe. It fits the cafe vibe, and we’re far enough away from the […]

It’s been a bit since I wrote anything about politics or the state of the world in general. That’s definitely not because I don’t have strong feelings about all of it. It’s more due to the fact that I just don’t know where to begin. I don’t like writing things if I don’t see the […]

Back in Ye Olden Days, before the Star Wars prequels came out, the way to experience Star Wars outside of the original trilogy was through books. There were a whole slew of officially licensed Star Wars novels, but the trilogy that started them all was the one by Timothy Zahn, now called the Thrawn Trilogy […]

Advances in generative AI happen so often these days that even if you do your best to keep up with what’s out there, you still might find yourself in the dark when it comes to a new offering. Some of this is due to the fact that there are just so many changes happening all […]
