I think, personally, that the definition of humanity is the drive to create. Maybe it’s art, maybe it’s engineering, maybe it’s community, maybe it’s teaching, maybe it’s discovery. Something in us wants to push forward and it’s the most beautiful thing
Still reading the second book but next week is convention which means a lot of due time between meetings, so I went ahead and picked this one up at the library

Can anyone in Texas pick one of these up for me (this is like, 30% joking)
If you have the space, means and collection: a northern Texas warehouse full of proto-Redbox VHS vending machines from the mid-1980s is being evicted. The machines are free and whatever isn't taken will imminently be scrapped.

Wheeee my @uesp.net patron box shipped! I just took down my old calendar today. I hang them up at work and then cut out the pictures and am slowly wallpapering my office with them, like so

Ok now I have all of this song done except for lyrics (mostly done) and bassline (partly done I think but I need to record the guitar part or something and fuck around with it) and I actually maybe just need some people to come play instruments

Six Feet Under and nothing is close
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

Got seized with a piano bit on the metro home and made Tracey help me with the keyboard. I don’t know shit about how to play it so I’m over here playing chords and Tracey is like THAT IS NOT HOW YOU USE YOUR HANDS STOP I HATE LOOKING AT IT

Was having this thought the other day about how much I really enjoy IKEA and Costco, and realizing that they’re companies that mostly seem concerned with selling decent things at decent prices and paying their employees fairly. Just stuff that used to be accepted as basic company functions
we simply do not talk enough about how much of modern capitalism has pivoted away from providing goods and services in exchange for money and into inconveniencing and harassing people with fees, surcharges, and delayed invoicing for long enough that they give you money just to make it stop

Now my mouse scroll wheel at work has stopped working. I’m going to be surprised if I get a new one before February

Working on a big chapter about grout and you know when you see a word in a text too many times and it loses all meaning? Ok now imagine it’s a word like “grout”

The all-covers show started on the metal station and a song started and I thought “ahh who’s covering Gojira” nope it was Gojira covering Metallica. They have SUCH a unique sound that it carries over into everything

First day back in the office since December 17th (have worked since then but remote only) and forgot that I’d won something in our charity silent auction, nice to walk into this sitting on my desk

I actually believe this about every movie franchise that’s gone on too long. Lord of the Rings. Avengers. Hellraiser
If they’re gonna keep making these, they should rotoscope them again
