Oh hey, haven't seen you in a while…

I’m making a commitment to be more me, in all my different and disparate parts.

One of those parts is occasional singer-songwriter. Here’s some recent evidence:

POV (rough demo)

YouTube
It's nearly 2024 and there isn't a word processor in existence that lets you place a bordered text box where you want it in a document.
Apple marketing: single-handedly destroying the word “the”, so that every noun just smashes into other words.
Is anyone interested in talking to me – on mic – about their creative workflows? The tools, tech, tactics, tips etc that they use to make stuff, either directly as part of their creative practice, or as a way to promote what they do?
We’ve reached “my iPhone can’t tell the difference between the temperature in the room and the temperature of my hand” degrees centigrade.

Second night at my local Moseley Folk Festival. A great day for Celtic-inspired bands as well as those nice ones with the warbly vocals.

Saw a Welsh EDM/folk band mash up the Fresh Prince of Bel Air with the Prodigy.

Headliners were the Saw Doctors, who were cut off during a ELO encore (a nice nod to Birmingham).

Picked up a souvenir in the form of a signed vinyl from charming and lovely Canadian band Wild Rivers.

Had a mediocre burrito.

Looking forward to what tomorrow holds.

A couple of months ago, @james called @mark a silly person (in so many words, and [mostly?] in jest) for starting a new podcast hosting platform in 2023.

Podcasting for conscious creators

I just legitimately left a Git commit with the message "pour some sugar on the accordion” that makes total sense.

I love coding.

I don’t like to be a gatekeeper, but if you’re a native English speaker giving SaaS advice and you refer to something as “a software”, I will not be able to hear anything else you say.

For clarity, “software” is uncountable, like “oxygen”. You can’t have “oxygens” or “an oxygen”, just “oxygen”.

I’m only really speaking to younger native English speakers who’ve maybe read words by older non native speakers grappling with our bizarre and inconsistent system of rules.
