The Sound of Music
“When I tell you I love
the song “Edelweiss”
you have to understand
that even though I too
am a sophisticate
who scorns musicals,”

Project Previews
I’m being a little coy, as I don’t want to reveal yet what my project is all about. But soon.
In the meanwhile, here are some failed/rejected images from my random DALL-E attempts. They’re kinda close to what I’m after, but not quite. I’ll leave these here as a teaser. More soon.
A Visit to City Escape
After several days of sitting at the computer, both Liz and I decided to step away for an outing. And leave our desks, and go be around some plants for a bit. We headed over to City Escape on the North Side, and just wandered around for a bit there.
More Coding
I know a project is exciting to me when I find myself waking up early.
Creators, Creating
aoyamasquare is a lovely YouTube channel, featuring a lot of short-length videos of artists, creating in their respective mediums. Lose a little time here, with a video. And then do it all over again. And again.
Coding Day
It’s a rough feeling, this sense that there’s never enough hours in the day. But it’s a feeling I’ve missed, and something I haven’t had a really, really long time.
WTF Amazon Ads
Something happened recently, though I’m actually not sure exactly when this happened. But apparently, the Amazon ads I have on this site started to appear as larger footer-based ads. And they take up a good portion of the screen!
Darlingside: 1979
I’m biased, given my like of this song (and the strange ritual I used to have, back in college). And I just enjoy the harmonies from this group, in nearly every song I hear from them.
The Lost Land
“I have two daughters.
They are all I ever wanted from the earth.
Or almost all.”
Bigger
At each turn, I realize that I’m simply not thinking BIG enough with what I’m asking ChatGPT to do. Which is crazy and exciting and just… crazy, all at the same time.
Yeah
I’m reminded a lot of The Hood Internet, as well as teh work of Matthijs Vlot. I love this kind of stuff – it’s what the Internet is all about.
Darlingside: Extra Life
One of the songs that Darlingside performed (as an encore) was Extra Life. It’s funny because recently… I’ve been listening to this album more. But I’ve taken to skipping this song, so that I can get to the second track, Singularity.
Darlingside @ North Shore Center
I know I’m like the 10,000th person to mention it to him… but I got the chance to tell him how much I liked “God of Loss,” and specifically the lyrics. I’m sure he’s heard it a million times, but it felt great to share how much it meant to me.
Coding Day
Spent the whole day (and I mean the whole day) working a fun, new side project. It felt great to get so immersed, and to spend this much time working on a thing that I was enjoying and having fun with.
It’s… it’s been a while.
Found Elmo
We took a trek down 55th, around Nichols Park. And on the way home, spotted Elmo just kind of… hanging out. I’m still not quite sure what to make of this: whether he got here of his own volution, or if he’s been strung up here after some street toughs accosted him.
