A first for me: I wrote a song inside a dream! I was about to show it to some musical friends, started getting shy and stalling, then suddenly woke up. It was 3am so I jotted down the words with solfège, and tried to go back to sleep.
Can now confirm: the song is… very mediocre!

Tomorrow starts part 2 of parental leave, which goes through the end of the year! This will be my longest break from work since… well ever. The whole thing is exciting and strange!

When AI evangelists say “AI is just a tool”, it sounds a lot like “guns don’t kill people”. Sure they CAN be used for good… but that’s not why we’re complaining.

My mom visited Portugal for a wedding and brought back a “traditional dress” for Lenni. But I think it’s a Mirabel costume?

First Amtrak ride in years and… I can’t express how much I am enjoying the quiet rainy daytime vibe. It is both relaxing and creatively energizing.

I love this idea. We’re so numb to corporations trying to milk nostalgia for profit… that it’s refreshing to see an org try to understand WHY we loved something in the past.
If they can successfully recreate that atmosphere of peak MySpace / AIM days… I’m here for it.
