Me: there's too much television to choose from these days. It's quantity over quality.
Paramount: *erases their archives going back 3 decades*
Me: no not like that

@icedquinn next time I'll be more prepared
Wondered onto a film set in the historical district of Brooklyn today during my walk. The crew handed me a water bottle. I am now part of the movie industry.
I keep thinking about DOOM is this normal? Everything eventually comes back to DOOM for me.
Tried to schedule a repair for my cracked m1 screen that I'm anticipating will cost almost half the price of the device itself. Forgot my apple id password. Don't own any other apple devices. So now I'm stuck waiting on Apple to get back to me on whether they'll let me reset my account so I can give them stupid amounts of money to repair this thing (I already know about iFixIt so don't mention it).
I'm starting to realize why I never really bonded with this thing or bothered to use the software ecosystem properly. I never felt like I really owned it.
Drink water? Again? Didn't we already do this yesterday?
*opens up FastTracker 2 clone*
*Looks up keyboard shortcuts*
*Looks at Planck Keyboard*
*Closes FastTracker 2 clone*
See you all in 2 months when I do this again!
Assembled a guerilla workspace setup at my friend's apartment.
He briefly left to go out on an errand and does NOT know anything about this yet...
@icedquinn no
See a lot of people attempting to make steamed hams in my timeline.
@clarity any public repo? I'd love to follow along!
20 boxes shipped via UPS over the last 2 weeks with no car. I am mentally and physically exhausted.
@icedquinn how's the durability of the thing?
@icedquinn I don't understand why it's so difficult to reinvent the alphasmart
According to my tasks page [0], it took me 10 hours to carefully read the MDN CSS module on CSS building blocks while taking handwritten notes [1]. I started reading it back in December, and finished late February. Not exactly what I'd call an exciting read.
It took another 3.5 hours to transcribe those notes [2]. ~33% time overhead seems to be pretty constant for transcription I've noticed.
I'm still plugging away at Designing Data Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman, also taking handwritten notes [3][4]. Currently 27 hours in and I've just hit the halfway point. It's a big book crammed with stuff.

I've sometimes been called a "tech maximalist" because I buy separate devices for things like timers, alarm clocks, lights, and calculators, which are all things I can do on my phone.
In theory, I feel like my personality *would* be the type to turn my phone into a multifunctional tool. I *shouldn't* be this so-called "maximalist". It doesn't fit. Pocket computers have been a part of me for a loong time. I was the weird kid walking around with a palm pilot who did everything from notetaking to musical ear training. But, in reality, the phone software/hardware ecosystem is a mess. Also their UX has too much in common with a slot machine. I just want to be as dispassionate and distant as possible towards this rectangle.
@icedquinn I've been using it a lot. Also, it had a small fall.
Cautiously optimistic that my external blu ray drive isn't dying, it just needed more power.
Come on, lil buddy, you can do it. Just a few more to go.
@hazelweakly probably the risset rhythm. It's a neat audio illusion that sounds like the beat is infinitely speeding up or slowing down. fold4,wrap5 by Autechre [0] is a beautiful example of a risset rhythm being used.
This has been a day of weighing things. I probably weighed over 50 items.
Sound artist exploring the human voice, simulacrum, and mechanisms for lyricism.These are some of my favorite things: vocal synthesis, generative music, Palestrina, audio DSP, baking, croissants, tea, dogs, grids, retrogaming, computer graphics, powers of 2, 1-bit art/sound.Over the years, I've developed several audio engines and music software ecosystems, and like to talk about them here. I also have a quieter account where I mainly talk about vocal synthesis: @patchlore
