35-minute run, 13 pull-ups. Moving my legs on the hill felt like working an unpowered steering wheel, which is a sign I really needed to do a non-tiny run.Comments

- Client B work.Comments
- Paid some fees.
- Returned library books.
- Tried to find out some more about what schools are like in British Columbia. Came up short again.
- Wrote a sort of system spec for a potential client. I'm not great at this kind of thing, I realized, as it took me hours. It's not that I took long breaks — I was just thinking about things really slowly.
- Made dinner.
- We chatted with someone about what it's like to live in the Northampton/Amherst area. It seems nice, but it's very White, except for Amherst itself, which I learned is 3 miles wide by 8 miles "tall". Real estate prices are shooting up there, too, but it's still not as bonkers as it is here. -

Epic Games acquired Bandcamp.Comments
Well, that is shitty. Can no company be left alone without becoming part of a strategy for a larger company?In Epic, we’ve found a partner who believes as deeply as we do that the future of music, and art itself
The Fortnite guys?!
I'd like to think things are going to be OK, but a big corporation doesn't do an acquisition without plans to do something with that acquisition, and those plans seem incredibly likely to be stupid.
And if it doesn't work out? It's a small loss for Epic, while Bandcamp's most important assets are destroyed: Its straightforwardness and its reputation. -
Biden nearly ended the drone war, and nobody noticedComments
Huh, I wonder if they're not talking about it in case they decide to pick it back up again. -
- Dropped off, picked up, dropped off.Comments
- Checked up on condo finances, which I dreaded.
- Took a couple of stabs at getting information on schools from actual people.
- Worked on the ending of a semi-ambient song that I've been messing with for half a year.
- Found some useful Massachusetts school data.
- Client B work.
- Tried to use a telehealth thing that I thought was free via my insurance but found out it was not free.
- Did an HR screen for a four-day a week job. I didn't learn that much about the company, and the recruiter seemed irritated by my questions. I got bad vibes, but admittedly, I don't know that much that's concrete about them, so I'm game for continuing the process if they want to.
- Made dinner.
- Watched some of a Puckette lecture. -

- Replied to a potential client.
- Replied to a recruiter.
- Client B work.
- Made dinner.
- Went to the electronic music group. It was post-vacation week, so all I had to show was that my index ticker works now. I found out that I had misunderstood part of homework 8. Also found out that Karplus-Strong can be implemented in a relatively small pd patch!
- Paid the non-automatic bills.
- Replied to three friend emails/PMs.
- Researched some schools. Did not really learn much. -
Kanye is shipping his new album as a device that lets you use faders on the stems. I'll give credit to Ye. This is a cool idea for someone in his position.Comments

Chanting “death to Putin,” a crowd of Iranians defied their government, an ally of Russia, by protesting outside the Ukrainian Embassy in Tehran on Saturday night, according to videos posted on social media.Comments
I'm going to admit: At some level, I like the "Death to" chant prefix. -
CommentsConquering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is ~$2 used. I found these exercises to be genuinely helpful and was about to take a picture of 60% of the pages in the copy I got from the library before I thought to check for used copies.Comments
Comments We went through airport security, and they didn’t use the full body scanner. (Full body scans are a famous step backward in privacy rights. I used to opt out of them, but I’ve given up because of the other pressures of the airport.) Nor did they have people take laptops out or their bags or take off their shoes.Comments
Earlier, a TSA employee said I should go in a line that looked like it would separate me from my family, and she was pissed off that I asked a question about that. So, I didn’t ask anything about the scanner.
Fortunately, someone else did, and the TSA (a different one from the line one) said that we didn’t need to because the dog had checked us. I hadn’t even seen the dog!
But if the dog satisfies the TSA, they should replace all this nonsense with dogs.
Comments Tried to implement input overlapping in the vocoder (making blocks overlap before sending them through processing). Took a while to figure out my function was writing to memory outside of given block, but even after fixing that, I'm not sure it's doing the right thing. The case for a single block version of this builds further.CommentsI'm on a 1.5 MBPS connection at my mother-in-law’s house and noticing that 60% of web pages I visit download the web app part of the page, then bail. “Here, have a shell, then imagine the content”Comments
Comments My default assumption about Putin is that he makes mistakes, but he makes decisions rationally toward a premeditated end. Now, I think maybe he's a little desperation-driven.CommentsI finished The Game Players of Titan. Not one of PKD’s best, but oddly, it made me appreciate his great pulp writer pacing which made it so readable, despite not really making sense.Comments265 | 264 | 263 | 262 | 261 | 260 | 259 | 258 | 257 | 256 | 255 | 254 | 253 | 252 | 251 | 250 | 249 | 248 | 247 | 246 | 245 | 244 | 243 | 242 | 241 | 240 | 239 | 238 | 237 | 236 | 235 | 234 | 233 | 232 | 231 | 230 | 229 | 228 | 227 | 226 | 225 | 224 | 223 | 222 | 221 | 220 | 219 | 218 | 217 | 216 | 215 | 214 | 213 | 212 | 211 | 210 | 209 | 208 | 207 | 206 | 205 | 204 | 203 | 202 | 201 | 200 | 199 | 198 | 197 | 196 | 195 | 194 | 193 | 192 | 191 | 190 | 189 | 188 | 187 | 186 | 185 | 184 | 183 | 182 | 181 | 180 | 179 | 178 | 177 | 176 | 175 | 174 | 173 | 172 | 171 | 170 | 169 | 168 | 167 | 166 | 165 | 164 | 163 | 162 | 161 | 160 | 159 | 158 | 157 | 156 | 155 | 154 | 153 | 152 | 151 | 150 | 149 | 148 | 147 | 146 | 145 | 144 | 143 | 142 | 141 | 140 | 139 | 138 | 137 | 136 | 135 | 134 | 133 | 132 | 131 | 130 | 129 | 128 | 127 | 126 | 125 | 124 | 123 | 122 | 121 | 120 | 119 | 118 | 117 | 116 | 115 | 114 | 113 | 112 | 111 | 110 | 109 | 108 | 107 | 106 | 105 | 104 | 103 | 102 | 101 | 100 | 99 | 98 | 97 | 96 | 95 | 94 | 93 | 92 | 91 | 90 | 89 | 88 | 87 | 86 | 85 | 84 | 83 | 82 | 81 | 80 | 79 | 78 | 77 | 76 | 75 | 74 | 73 | 72 | 71 | 70 | 69 | 68 | 67 | 66 | 65 | 64 | 63 | 62 | 61 | 60 | 59 | 58 | 57 | 56 | 55 | 54 | 53 | 52 | 51 | 50 | 49 | 48 | 47 | 46 | 45 | 44 | 43 | 42 | 41 | 40 | 39 | 38 | 37 | 36 | 35 | 34 | 33 | 32 | 31 | 30 | 29 | 28 | 27 | 26 | 25 | 24 | 23 | 22 | 21 | 20 | 19 | 18 | 17 | 16 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0
