I can't pinpoint exactly when it started, but the mention of Kintsugi in media has become an inordinately large pet peeve for me. I think it has to do with the fact that it's always a foreigner mysticizing the practice without interest in or awareness of the surrounding cultural context.

Question : Easiest way to run 3 music cues from the smallest/simplest device? I'm thinking Go Button but don't have a spare iPhone kicking around. Maybe the Stream Deck app? I have a spare Pixel 3a. Operator is a former SM but won't have access to the device until briefly before the event.

I also have iPads and physical Stream Decks but size / cabling then becomes more of an issue. Outdoor venue. Operator in the audience. TIA!

Just used my first tap ticket to get into the metro. Didn't need to have the Chrono app open. So excited to not have to carry a separate card with me anymore!

This Labour Day I was presented a vibe-coded project management package built from the creator's extensive collection of notes and AI history. It had broken everything down into steps, deadlines, and much of the work I would have done myself. I recused myself, despite enthusiasm for the project.

This was a passion project which couldn't pay me terribly much, so I'm not going hungry for it. But it does require re-examining my plans to fill gaps in my work as local arts funding continues to shrink and smaller seasons filled with co-pros become the norm.

We'll probably rage against our AI agents' quirks the way we rage against printers today. But nobody's going back to typesetting outside niche art applications. So why go back to a human project manager who'd take weeks of part-time work to produce similar results?

I had asked what tasks would remain for me, and it amounted to sending reminder e-mails and taking meeting notes. Both of which even I could automate. We ended the meeting with the intent to find me purpose in the project, but my value-add isn't what it once was.

I remember getting my invite to Gmail and using the invites to create additional accounts - two of these are still in use today (first initial dot last name + a junk mail account). Seeing the extra storage tick up on the login page was so impressive. I was such a fan of Google for a long time. ↓

I'm on Android, but could accept a shift to iOS. I could set up an e-mail forwarding client, especially since I managed to acquire lastname dot ca. I could return to offline offerings for docs and sheets. I hear MapQuest learned the Great Lakes' names in school and won't be changing them. ↓

Their calendar is critical to me, with varying contracts throughout the year. I still sometimes use it to set reminders,though Keep is what I prefer for those. It also hosts our household grocery list and dozens of story concepts. I often use it for quick doodles to refine a physical concept. ↓

Google Books was such a noble quest to document and log humanity's body of work. I made Google Sites using HTML back in the day and still use the service for simple builds. I quite liked the concept of Google+ with the different viewer-groups for posts. I still think it's a good idea. ↓

Example 738 of Siri trolling me via the homepod in our kitchen: "Hey Siri, play music." "Sure, here's music picked just for you." - Creep by Radiohead plays.

Netrunner is a really fun game, it has no card scarcity, and you can proxy your entire decks even at the world championship (Oct 2-4 in Montréal!). But the real secret ingredient is the community. It's always an absolute joy to play, be they fresh faces or former champions.

I can finally refollow all the accounts I like that unfortunately repost 30 times a day!!

One downside of working a festival is missing the shows you'd want to see. Biggest one for me so far is Weird Al tonight, though I may try to sneak out between shows at my venue to at least hear a bit of his set.

If anyone I know is going LMK!
