The whole "music as background noise" thing gives me a really different perspective on the Jay Haynes book's JTBD example of the ipod "creating a mood with music." In a time where music is only for creating moods, anything more complicated becomes art.. And I guess it always was?

The 'ShamWow guy' is running for Congress in Texas Offer Vince Shlomi, the once-prominent infomercial pitchman, filed paperwork with the Texas Republican Party to run for the seat held by Republican Rep. John Carter.

Now's the time to shoot the shot, I guess.

Sisyphus Says, by The Lees Of Memory 11 track album

Is the shoegaze revival thing still happening? I just remembered this band, a spinoff of Superdrag, who were a little ahead of the curve with it. theleesofmemory.bandcamp.com/album/sisyph...

Annoyed that I can't search the web for IA or anything with the word "prompt" in it without getting pages of AI BS. Even using quotes in the query.

I really think it's time for an alternate, more governed internet without marketing.

pine is not elm

lmao 💀

YouTube video by Lorde LORDE - Royals

Lorde's Royals has been creeping back into rotation on some of the stations I listen to. I think it's bc of her tour, but it's a pretty good early-fall song. And still maybe one of the most unique pop songs I can remember.

I miss having a car with manual transmission.

Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller's day off was totally a look.

i got the alexa plus.. and while it did unexpectedly fix some IoT devices.... holy hell, the new voices are annoying.

In my post work haze I thought that said goatse

Decades menu is great but that supreme dip is my new fav menu item

My throat is sore af, and I find myself wondering.. what's the wettest pizza you can get?

ugh. that sucks

I guess I'd also like to elaborate that I'm pretty sure I got it at work, and know who gave it to me coughing all the way. not an indictment of that person, but a reminder that working in offices is fucking stupid

welp, finally caught covid. it was a good run.

This happened to me. I think the new account conflicts with the old one in their automated verification system. I ultimately had to register from mobile with my phone number to make it work. Not worth it.

Day #110: Rude Dog (1988)

420 day coma tho

I wonder what's going on with Southwest. I had a flight booked, and got a cancellation notice this morning with no reason. When I tried to call them, it said there was a 2-3 hour wait. I got through directly just a couple of days ago, so I assume lots of people are having problems.

I wonder if there’s like, chiptune slowcore. Synthwave doom? Doomwave?

I've noticed my VM transcriptions have gotten really bad or are just missing too.

and I guess I should say that it's mostly auto layout that pisses me off, perhaps only because I want to set the controls on the content, not the containers.

absolutely suffering my way through learning figma for like the 3rd time. This would all be so much faster in illustrator. (I know, I know.. it will pay off.. but jesus)

some kind of illness descended on me while I was driving home from work friday. (isn't that always the way) Seems kind of flu-like. I hope it's not covid.
