Biggest +1 For now, you can turn it off by going into settings and turning on slow mode, but that comes at the cost of photo quality

Fantastic Mr Fox Mr Fox faces off with farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Roald Dahl is not just the best at his type of kids’ stories, he’s the only. No one else manages to tell stories that so completely adopt the child’s worldview while remaining readable for adults. Here’s my tiered list S tier: Danny the Champion of the World Matilda The BFG Charlie and the Chocolate Factory A tier: Fantastic Mr Fox James and the Giant Peach B tier: George’s Marvelous Medicine The Minpins C tier: The Witches The Twits Esio Trot D tier: The Giraffe, the Pelly, and Me The Magic Finger The Enormous Crocodile But like I said above, these all exist in a separate Roald Dahl tier. I read Fantastic Mr Fox to my youngest, who recently turned three, and he was transfixed. Normally he bounces off the walls, but I only had to refocus him a few times over the course of the five nights we read this. It’s like magic. And yeah, the movie is exquisite. Buy the entire set of large format books Illustrated by Quentin Blake on the day your first child is born and read them all together. Strongest recommendation for reading with small children

Stack: https://usetrmnl.com/ hardware ($150ish IIRC) free tier twilio free tier neon db (not even strictly necessary, would be fine in memory probably) pay for what you use fly.io hosting (budgeting pennies per week, will update if it's dramatically more) Process: vibe coded via claude code in a few minutes claude walked me through clicking around in the dashboards and stuff to get everything configured that part took maybe 45 minutes I wrote 0.5 lines of code the old fashioned way the only thing that took any chops or familiarity was figuring out from context that TRMNL expected to consume JSON and then mark it up natively instead of just receiving a complete html page although there's probably an existing app that lets you just display a webpage and I bet claude could have worked out a solution even if I hadn't flagged that issue Hackathons must be absolutely bonkers these days 🤯

Update on this By running three identical apps and setting the device refresh to 5m, you can cut the 15m refresh down to 5, which is good enough for my use case

Bought a TRMNL to act as a read-only SMS client for my 7yo, but it only refreshes every 15m, which is a bummer. Anyone know how to coerce faster refresh? Anyone know of an alternative with more frequent refresh? Anyone know how to jailbreak them?

Over Sea, Under Stone Three kids and their uncle pursue the grail in Cornwall. This is the first of a series known collectively as The Dark is Rising. It’s less fantasy and more adventure than the rest. The writing is good, the story is good, it has layers for kids and adults. The connection to Arthurian legend gives it some nice British zest. My kids loved it. No complaints here. Recommended for reading to kids.

Great Expectations Orphan Pip grows from boy to man. Seemingly in real time. I felt like I spent a third of a lifetime reading this. What is it about Dickens’ tone, in Great Expectations especially, that makes him so smug and self satisfied and sentimental? He’s like a midwit spinster aunt pressing petty morality stories and a delusional worldview on captive nephews. And I’m not just talking about the impossible moral perfection of Joe, or Pip’s shame as he grows. There’s this insidious statement between the lines that Dickens has it all figured out, and that the oppressed are inherently just, and that anyone who doesn’t see the world through Dickens’ lens is a heartless fool. Some of the writing is good in a longwinded way, but I found it difficult to enjoy any of the narrative because I couldn’t stop thinking about how awesome it would be to go back in time, rip the pen out of Dickens’ hand, and punch him in his sanctimonious face. Highly recommended for socialists, people who move their lips when they read, and adults who wear mouse ears at Disney World. Functioning adults should avoid it.

This is not especially remarkable. Girl clothes are small and ethereal. If I want to pack a second pair of 505s in a standard carryon it means I’m going commando for the trip (Joking on both counts, I hope you’re well Grace)
