The 2024 Installer gift guide, part one


In this week’s Installer: Madden, to-do lists, and music machines.

This week, I’ve been reading about junk food and Madden 2004 and Anthony Jeselnik, watching Wicked and immediately making sure to hold space for the lyrics of “Defying Gravity,” exploring the back catalog of 60 Second Docs(which I found thanks to Jason Kottke), watching a lot of Thomas the Tank Engine with my toddler, marveling at how complicated it is just to shop for pizza stones, and listening to the first episodes of The Rest is Classified. Four hours of archival footage, behind-the-scenes process, and NFL players raving about how much they love Madden is a pretty good argument for me to watch a doc. After reading books by social economists Jonathan Haidt and Richard Reeves and having two toddlers, it is a lot to think about raising kids in an overprotective and tech-filled world.” — Mitchell
