Steve Wilder Blumenthal 🔜 Serious Play

the glow gives an impression of a party on this bus I have decided to accept this is the venga bus it finally arrived

(3/3) Ideally this is within games - maybe entertainment/tech, but if it's more general than that, that's fine, too.

(2/3) Research and surveys on people's emotions and decision-making throughout these cycles. Trends in how people are affected, defining the (general) lines on being too busy/not busy enough, and the differences/similarities across generations (gen z to millennial to gen x to boomer)

(1/3) I'm putting together ideas for a talk, I'm struggling to find sources to cite on the 🍃Cycle of Seasons🍂 in one's career. Not necessarily tied to actual seasons, more like chapters: times when the work is flowing vs when things are quiet. A little more on what I'm looking for:

I want to love music as much as Jon Batiste does

Am 37, can confirm.

I’m 37, can confirm.

I'm done with summer I want the cold please make the heat stop

New music coming out on August 12th!!

Had a dream last night where I was playing in a band and the drummer counted off a song by saying:

“1, 2, 1 2 3 WHEE!”

Great way to start the day

7pm: Cut up a jalapeño pepper last night at like 7pm. Bare hands. Thoroughly washed hands after.

You see where this is going. Eye didn't.

9pm: Itched eye with finger. Ouch.

Neha knows what's up

Unexpected side effect: always hitting the wrong key switches for the wrong computer

Was listening to some dnb while I did this puzzle. iykyk

A prime example of cognitive dissonance: my love/hate relationship with my foam roller.

It worked!! And it was set up with no emotional turmoil

I'm still a primary Mac user, the PC is for game dev work.

Got tired of Mac-only being a bottleneck at various points in my workflow.

Having a KVM switch makes me feel like

Using a PC for work as a lifetime Mac user. The difference in UI is staggering and wow is it hard to use one when you've been using the other your whole life...

Installing a KVM switch today aka swearing at not one but two computers

YouTube video by Bullet Journal The High Achiever’s Guide to ADHD (a Conversation)

I'm quiet about having ADHD (diagnosed as a kid), but yeah, I do have it.

Bullet Journaling has helped a lot. Through following the creator of that practice on YouTube, this interview popped up, and I found parts to be helpful.

Hoping it helps other ADHD folks too -

Instagram kind of does this with Notes, but on stuff like LinkedIn, I have to change my name and hope that the change actually goes through. Although, maybe this is one of those problems without a solution kind of things...

Would love some kind of standard feature across all social media sites where you can have a status below your handle for something upcoming like a release or conference appearance, instead of having to change my profile name or bio every time I'm doing something

“Gonna crash early tonight, just gonna catch that second episode of Squid Game season 3 while I unwind…”

If you know, you know.

I really should finish that...

Congrats!!
