I was just cleaning up the basement and found an old CD that had a midi version of my high school senior project on it. I composed a version of "Nothing Else Matters" for a quartet.
I listened to this so many times while I was working on the project. Sounds awful, but kinda fun.

The tragic reality of being a parent: all of your precious little free time comes when you are too tired to do anything with it.

This was neat. Was working on a little feature and decided to try to stream it on stream.place — it worked great! Streaming on the same underlying system that bluesky uses.

stickfight was fucking iconic
It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

In an ironic twist, now I have “I am going to claw out your eyes and drown you” from Hade 2 stuck in my head. Not sure which lyric is worse to randomly start singing 😂
OK this Lily Allen album is incredible, but now I’ve got… certain lyrics just running thru my head nonstop, and I’m worried I’m gonna start singing them at an inappropriate time.
