Full workout! 10-4-4-4-4-4, burpees all the way. Right IT band felt slightly wonked; gotta be careful to stretch well again. Feels good!

OK! I added a voiceover to my project-arranging app demo so that possibly you can have some idea what's going on in that video.

Guy on Trump is chanting “Love Trump!” Greatly prefer the “You are going to hell” guy.

Was hard to get in a workout. Single set of 12 (with snow boots, though) on the way home.

The Giza Power Plant just played over the office PA system (not queued by me), and it gave me life!

I'm getting somewhere with my project mapping app. Here's a demo video. (I should probably add narration to that to make it understandable.)
The basic concept is that you can define projects by however many aspects as you want, as long as you assign the aspect a number between 0.0 and 1.0. For example, you can have a project that's 0.8 "art" and 0.35 "done".
Then, the arrange the projects in space, you define "attractors": Centers of gravity that will pull projects toward them. The closer the aspects of the attractor and the project, the more closely the project will be pulled. And you can have as many attractors as you want. -
Do you want to have a bunch of torn paper edges around your divs at the cost of lot of extra HTML elements and some JS? Well, here you go.

On young founders:
Here are some key findings of the research:
Founders in their early 20s have the lowest likelihood of successful exit or creating a 1 in 1,000 top growth firm.
Across the 2.7 million founders in the U.S. between 2007-2014 who started companies that go on to hire at least one employee, the mean age for the entrepreneurs at founding is 41.9.
The mean founder age for the 1 in 1,000 highest growth new ventures is 45.0.
The most successful entrepreneurs in high technology sectors are of similar ages.
The “batting average” for creating 5 successful firms is rising dramatically with age. Conditional on starting a firm, a 50-year-old founder is 1.8 times more likely to achieve upper-tail growth than a 30-year-old founder. -
I don’t have Echoes or Google Homes around the house because I 100% do not trust Amazon and Google to not use audio and parsed utterances of literally everything my family says for terrible shit. However, I would like to know how many times a year I say “Get down, Bonus!” and “Get down, Wily!”
Maybe I’ll get one of those on-the-chip speech recognizers. -

10-4-4-4-4-4. Because it’s possible the increased burpees sets mess with my back, I stretched after each burpee-pull-up set pair. It lead to quite a lot of time between pull-up sets. I guess I can live with that trade-off.
Also got a decent amount of drumming and guitar in today. -
Gonna sound oxymoronic here, but this is a kick-ass album of harpsichord elevator music. Especially Harpsichord a la Mode, which reminds me of Mega Man 3.
I was saying the other day at work that while intended meaning is important and powerful, people also find meaning in all sorts of things that aren't meant to have meaning. Library music is a prime example. It was meant to be bland mush you could just shoot into waiting rooms, and that it is. But it's also really lively and affecting sometimes because it was made by humans that couldn't help infuse humanity into it. On the other end, there's the pre-fraud horse_ebooks and various bots — things made by computers with no humanness that human perceivers add meaning to. -
Sometimes, I like to just empty a can of corn into a bowl and eat it.

Legoland is the one place Christmas music is welcome because they actually play music other than their normal single 12-bar loop. And it’s all better that that one loop.
-
I did get in one set of 12 at home. And am MVPing an ill-advised app, maybe just in time.
-
As they say of cats with cat shelves and food balls, etc., I’m fairly enriched lately. The days feel super-full, at home and at work. But yeah, it’s easy to skip workouts in that situation. As I did today. As I said last time I did this, next time!

Back's been feeling crunched for the past couple days, so I just did a single set of 11. Feels like a good compromise between once again not working out and also not exacerbating a possible injury.
