Finally able to launch a pet project that has (technically) been 6 years in the making possibleforms.com

If it's a 4th wall joke that they tried to get someone that approximates a Leslie Nielsen and they cast Liam Neeson, that in itself is comedy gold.

There are “Esperanto” ideas, proposals which sound great, but are complex and impractical, and so they never take off. There also are “tweet” ideas, trivial things which don’t seem to do much at all, but are simple and appealing to everyone, and so they spread everywhere.

Kinda depressing to see so many replies on X which consist of "Grok, is this real?", "Grok, explain this", "Grok, what is this?" Readily offloading thinking in public probably isn't a good skill.

I'm so late to the game with this one. After struggling a bit reading from the primary source, Jung's work is coming through crystal clear in this book.

@ptujec.bsky.social Hey Christian - thank you so much for all of the work you do in terms of adding new actions to Launchbar. I love the new Menus action - quick question: is there any way for the items to be accessible from the root search? eg pressing Cmd+Space and CT for Close Tab in Safari? Thx!

Update: went a bit crazy here, got an M4 iPad Pro and a MIDI controller. I'm addicted to this stuff. My fallback excuse was "it'll make a nice work computer if I don't get along with music creation" but the touch interface for tweaking + physical dials and keys is a lovely balance.

Read something not politics. This is good.

Whatever this cold/flu/virus thing is that is knocking about, it's grim. I know I'm a bit of a precious flower but so far it has been: 2x nights of fever dreams 1.5x days of a real depersonalised feeling Not nice.

is it just me or are a lot of people giving away AI for free lately? The Apple Intelligence effect or...?

Endtroducing... by DJ Shadow was today's daily album. It's one of those ones I just don't understand the degree of outsized acclaim that it gets. I know it's clever sampling, but for me, Paul's Boutique (in a similarish vein) is much more impressive.

The moon is putting on a show tonight, I've never seen halos like this before.

Whoa, just spotted a huge streak across the sky. The Geminids are starting the light show early! Apparently there should be approx 13 meteors per hour at its peak which is 3-5 hours away.

The late, great Peter Brown ❤️

soo the Perplexity API is good and cheap-ish?! ($.20 per 1M tokens)

on this day in 1968! so good. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mot...

I'm aware this sounds a bit "well, duh" - but most of the best parts of my nostalgia stretch back about 20 years. This realisation (quoted) is that you can have THAT for NOW.

You can't have the sweet parts of nostalgia (love, gratitude, warm feelings etc) without reflecting on something... Nostalgia requires the crystallising of something to be nostalgic. So in a sense, you can have nostalgia (full of love, gratitude) for TODAY with _deliberate reflection_ on your day.

I had no master plan to quit my job. Even now, several years after doing so, when people ask about my journey, I’m more confused than you might expect. It’s tempting to tell a simple story. People want to hear about bold acts of courage, not years of feeling lost. https://pmillerd.com/pebble/

Exactly this. The real life equivalent is the people you choose to surround yourself with and their influence on your outlook. If you were to hang around with IRL people who argue with others all the time and are generally negative, you'd soon have people saying you're hanging with a bad crowd.

There is something unexplainably homely about Verdana. It's like seeing an old friend again. I'm seriously considering reverting to the original web safe font.

End of 2024 homescreen

Hoping to settle the family Christmas movie schedule this week. My personal preference is to at least hit these movies in this order: Early Dec: - The Grinch (Jim Carrey version) Mid Dec: - Die Hard Late Dec: - Batman Returns Xmas Eve, Eve: - Home Alone 2 Xmas Eve: - Home Alone - Polar Express

My favourite toys of the year. The Pocket Operator was a massive influence over my digital minimalism drive for the first half of the year (I'm now off the wagon but want to get back on for the holiday season). Both tools are fun in their own way.

I deeply appreciate that I got to follow Blur in the 90's, watch their sound evolve into experimental places that got overlooked by the general public, and experience an entirely different project in Gorillaz, and that Damon Albarn is still making great music in 2024 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp01...
