One thing thats become really clear to mr as I have embarked on a daily freewriting habit this year is the truth of the statement, "if you don't make a choice about how to spend your time, it will be made for you."

Reading from a book or paper is often done linearly. Proceed from start to finish. Here on bluesky there are lots of opportunities to consume along a graph or tree. But still threads of posts end up mostly linear. Is this a lack or creativity or a preference of consumption?

Posting on the web really is like fishing and techniques used to hook will reflect the fish you can expect to catch.

My inner child holds onto specific conceptions of what "fancy" technology should look like and do, and yet, I increasingly find myself captivated by things like describing a proper data ontology for working with documents. I think the inner child will come around eventually.

Picked up working on an old elixir project i started a few years ago and forgot how much I like elixir and it's tools especially mix!

I wonder if infinite scroll design would feel different if there was an animated character in the corner of your page that is forced to run as you scroll. Progressively getting more tired and haggard as the infinite scroll continues. A reflection of your own mental state when you doom scroll.

It doesn't always apply but a good measure of if you want to take a course of action or not is read about all the ways it can go sour. If later you are still energized by the prospect that seems like a green light.

Reviving old laptops is fun as long as the proprietary drivers needed are easy to find and install.

I'm not an expert but Radio is a technology which seems to necessitate cooperation between parties in a way other technologies do not. If all parties who want to send a signal ignore the assigned wavelength and bandwidth limitations, it makes everyone else's project either fail or work poorly.

What on earth was I trying to say with this doodle from last year. I think I need to make sure to take notes because this makes no sense to me now.

When attempting to use data to make decisions one necessarily has to cross a bridge between the realm of abstraction and the realm of measurements. Each of these realms have bridges cloaked in miasma of consciousness. It makes the journey to make data driven decisions challenging.

Many mornings I bike past a velley. Consistantly the air is much cooler feeling there. Probably an example of cold pooling. Do you have any recommendation for a radio or otherwise remote temperature sensor? I'm interested in measuring the temperature gradient.

Fiction novel told through transcripts of podcasts. A mystery is slowly revealed about a supposed break through in AGI. The twist is that the host of the podcast is a novel ai agent. The agent is performing a Turing test by hosting a podcast.

Fiction novel where the characters live in a world where the wild parts are filled with miasma. They come to find out they inhabit a simulated reality and the miasma is the result of corruption in the simulation. They journey to either escape to the base reality or fix the corruption.

2024 was a year where I gravitated to light themes. Previous to this year I exclusively used dark themes. Hard to imagine explaining how I enjoy light themes to my former self. Flatwhite theme from doom emacs has been an awesome thing this year.

Close to the new year the urge to switch linux distributions becomes strong. Then I'm reminded I have a macbook air and I don't enjoy dealing with wifi and keyboard drivers. Likely going to make time to try out endevourOS

Opossums seem like an excellent species for fiction. Lots of chances to delve into anxiety and existentialism. Questioning what "we live in a society" means for opossums might be fruitful also.

While writing I find the auto complete suggestions are a distraction to approach flow state. Certainly my words require alot of editing but I'd like to delay any external input until a time designated to editing. A similar thing is true of how I like to code, I don't want immediate suggestions

Electromagnetic waves some similar but some different different properties than sound waves yet the fact that they can both be modelled by trigonometric functions makes deriving the math of AM radio kind of use natural manipulations of such functions. Seems like a clear use case of math
