iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I keep forgetting there's a video company called Vinegar Syndrome now because when I go to catalogue something and that's listed my archivist hackles go straight up. Vinegar syndrome is...not something you want to happen to your film reels.

Really hate going to work in the rain because no matter how much I try to avoid puddles I still end up walking into wherever I'm working feeling like I'm going to develop trenchfoot. I should get a portable hair dryer or space heater or something.

Opened Bsky and...there's a debate about bringing iced coffee to a job interview or something? Not sure what's going on but I generally save my masala chai lattes for after the interview because it's easier to focus when I don't have to use the restroom.

Not from the below commercial but every promo he is in is like this. It has no right being this funny of a bit. They literally lucked into signing an actual trained mortician who could ham it up like nobody's business.

Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair stare each other down as between them Paul Bearer is visible making some sort of weird owl face. It is way funnier than it has any right to be.

I've never really actively watched pro wrestling (though I've learned a lot through osmosis via friends who do) but for the past two weeks I have been losing it over this commercial in which Paul Bearer describes how to play video games. This should not be as funny as it is. youtu.be/ckRamuVkRjg?...

I don’t normally do this: If you’re an archivist or metadata sicko who is doing working to preserve/collect/organize TTRPG materials and/or Actual Play & you’ll be at PAXU, let me know. If there’s already something brewing I don’t need to be involved unless it’s useful. But it needs to be there.

My mom has named her hermit crab, who she's now had for a year or so, after him. I last saw Carlito the crab yesterday and he's actually pretty huge and likes iceberg lettuce.

Update: it turns out I had to keep trying until it let me buy the damn tickets. Anyway, I am going to see Forever Young (yes, the horse) in person and I am so excited!

I just waited in a virtual queue for 40 minutes only to be told the tickets for the thing I wanted to see were already sold out. I am so infuriated right now.

These people don't show me and every other autistic person on earth empathy, after all. They'd rather have a dead child than one like me. So no, I'm not going to stop pointing that out even if it "hurts their feelings." I like not being dead.

Hey, does anyone know any open #writing positions right now? I am especially good with autism (and disability in general), sportswriting, video games, and archives/librarianship. If you can point me in the right direction, that would help me tremendously. Thank you in advance!

Lenapehoking is where I was born, grew up, and still live and work today. (Specifically NYC/northern New Jersey.) This is more or less my home country and probably always has been, and I generally have always said this area is where I'm from instead of saying the US, but especially more recently.

Okay, but libraries actually lend out video games to patrons. There is no way you can make this work the way ebooks do. Massive loss for libraries and a whole new problem for game archivists, for whom physical copies of games are incredibly important.
