Oh hey I wrote a song about a dog haunted by the Google Street View car, just in time for Halloween
Yes it's a niche haunting but please go listen, my daughter is doing the backing vocals (also doing ghost moves)

Lo Fidelity Allstars! Dancepunkey genre-mashup ahead of its time. Happy I bought it on vinyl back then, because it has the original version of «Battle Flag» from before they removed the Prince interpolation and messed up the ending.
«Kasparov's Revenge» is good:

Ah, sorry about that. I was editing this as a mood piece kind of thing to go with my music (although I did use some plugins to give the voices more clarity in the mix).
But no worries, I cooked up a non-music edit for you. Enjoy!

Found a police training video about satanism & it’s the most amazing thing. Here’s an edit.
Music is my track ‘Heartslow’, which just so happens to be out tomorrow.

Trying to sell my (old, have no practical use for any longer, humming a sad tune from its box in my basement) beautiful baby online and bracing for the torrent of messages that want to exhange it for an iPhone 5 or electric flyswatter.

A Scandinavian tome in a Scandinavian home.
Shipping & customs was pretty brutal for the new Simon Stålenhag book & prints, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be worth it when I get to reading. This thing is THICK & super pretty.

Watching this video at 10 years old was my first encounter with cyberpunk AND Billy Idol. That practical effect thing going into the hand has stuck with me to this day.

Thanks for the thread, Rami. I’m working on a live video essay + Twine workshop revolving around video game history and storytelling + art & creativity that I’ll be touring schools in Oslo with this fall.
It’s time for kids aged 13-19 to learn about William Crowther’s divorce.

Came to work today to discover this on my desk. Our IT guy had remembered a conversation from years ago about my Pebble Time being on the fritz, and decided to gift me his.

I’ve had my Beyerdynamic Custom Ones for more than 12 years. Replaceable padding, replaceable cable. Great.
But the plastic on the headband broke, and I’ve been using superglue and Sugru for years to hold it in place.
Turns out, someone made a 3D printable replacement. This is what joy looks like.

Impressed by how coherent 1000x Resist by @sunsetvisitor.studio managed to be, despite all the wild turns the story took. Started playing this Christmas but only got about halfway. Picked it up again this week & amazingly, I could still follow the story. And it's a good story.
