I do human-computer interaction, mainly, and play music for fun. Well, and a lot of other stuff. But HCI is useful as a way to find me.
Hey! I wrote an iOS app for singers, musicians, choreographers, and dancers! It's called SongJump, and it lets you loop just specific parts of a song. It also lets you slow down or speed up songs to make it easier to practice. apps.apple.com/us/app/songj... Tell a friend who'd find it useful!
SongJump
SongJump lets you practice by looping through only the parts of a song you need to hear, again and again. Perhaps you're responsible for verses 1, 2, and 5? No problem. Put in jump points for the beg...

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.
Third time’s the charm, I guess.

I like to make marmalade. My sister hates marmalade. Sometimes I forget this and send her some anyway. So on the most recent package I sent her (which did not actually contain any marmalade) I made it clear how lucky she was to get so much marmalade. Good job, ChatGPT.

Two really good bits of media I’m enjoying right now. Both are smartly written and well paced. The Pitt on Max (fka HBO) is great medical drama, exciting, compelling watching. Natasha Pulley’s The Mars House (book!) is exciting, feels like it’s written by a smart friend. Great read.

things that I really don't need: an email from my financial institution telling me that in some number of days, my 1099 tax form will be available on their website. yes, i know. you are legally mandated to have it by the 31st. this is not news.
just shut up and tell me when it's available.

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Today I deleted all my tweets, dating back to 2006.
In the course of that I see all my old content float by. And I'm allowing myself a bit of wistfulness at that world that was lost, and the value of a suitably policed, publicly visible, community discussion forum.
Here's to the future.
