I'm not ok. The world seems not ok. But community is important and there is still value in doing things just because. Blinky lights are fun, so last weekend I helped wire some controller boxes for an upcoming Burning Man project (maybe unscruz too?)
(and I've just realized that I don't know the project's name or if it has one...)

Sometimes I watch a ton of flicks and sometimes I watch none (as is evidenced here- I did We Bury the Dead on Feb 4), but I can feel it picking up again. Finally saw Scary Movie 4 and 5 ahead of 6 that comes out in June. Not quite a #Last4Watched, but close. Last 3 watched.

reading a prelim paper on scaling up gpu-accelerated database query engines and feeling kinda gobsmacked at where that world is at
i remember when we built a “massive” memory machine at princeton with … i think it was 256 MB of RAM. (it sat idle except when ken thompson was logged in and building hash tables for chess endgames which was most of the time)
One fascinating film trivia I learned recently is that Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze’s marriage from 1999 to 2003 partially inspired Coppola’s 2003 film Lost In Translation and Jonze’s 2013 film Her.
Coincidentally, both films star Scarlett Johansson as the main female protagonist, both films were nominated for the Oscar Best Picture, and both films won the Oscar Best Original Screenplay for Coppola and Jonze.
This is in stark contrast to my brief experiences with Ansible, which gave me the feeling of “oh, this is a lot to learn, but I see where they’re going and it makes sense.”
My last Ansible investigation stalled out trying to set up a clean process for issuing Let’s Encrypt certs, and I maybe need to pick those investigations back up again.

'Monster Feelings' is the new tape by Waukegan, Illinois's FREAK ACTIVITY, which is self-described on his Bandcamp here as 'One dude in a room full of instruments and a microphone'. Bedroom post-synth-egg-punk maybe? It's great. Catchy and hooky as fuck. The last song is wild- like 80s kinda. Very strange. Dig all of it, been really hooked on it.
