iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

@dansup @loops update, it worked this morning. I left the window open overnight so I could retry it later. I hit the post button and it was live in seconds, so the issue must be resolved now. I'll let you know if it happens with my next video. Thanks. loops.video/v/iP_ypQRIYB

@loops @dansup can't figure out why I keep getting an error when trying to upload a short video via the web. It's under the file size, and looks like it's uploaded fine, but I get an error when trying to publish. Happens with every video I try tonight.

An "Upload failed" message on Loops saying it's a 504 error.

A screenshot of the Loops upload page with everything filled out and it looks like the video has been uploaded. It's only 14 megs and under 2 minutes long.

@liaizon @doc thanks for sharing those! I forgot to keep posting on Loops, but maybe I'll get back in the habit. I am posting vids on Peertube pretty regularly though (mostly long form). There's even the orginal (and longer) Onety video. Here's the fediverse friendly version of the newer one […]

Free claw machine on the corner of Lexington and 19th. Apparently this happened last week too, and that one still had $7 in coins in it. I wonder where they are coming from.

An arcade claw machine left on the sidewalk. No toys in it, but it’s still in good condition with the modern and coin collector inside. The title says “Super Toys”.

We set aside some time today just to watch David Dunham’s live talk at #RoguelikeCelebration We even made a cheese plate!

Found this flier for the event. The band in the video is [algoslave], and there music is only on Spotify, but Misandrist's music can be found on Bandcamp misandristband.bandcamp.com I just bought their newest album from there.

A flier showing a pencil sketch drawing of a band performing on a sidewalk, but the band members are children's toy figures. The text says:
algoslave, misandrist, and Knights of Molino. Free at 527 Valencia St, 10/16/26 at 7pm.

The kids are alright! We stumbled on this epic rock show a block from our house. A free sidewalk show featuring bands like [algoslave], Misandrist, and Knights of Molino. Cool shit!

I just realized there's a video-producer gap in my friend group, and that bums me out. I have local friends I can talk to about photography, illustration, yo-yos, electronic music production, circuit soldering, graffiti, activism, and art pranks. But I don't have any homies I can talk to about […]

Today's choice is banner plane. Though I've seen it multiple times this morning, I never can read the banner. I'm assuming it says "kill all humans" or "crime is legal now".

A single-engine propeller plane pulling a massive white banner. Due to the angle of the photo, it's not possible to read the banner's message. It is an ad for something, probably.

Today I learned about Mozart’s “Table Music for Two,” a piece where two musicians sit across from each other and read the same sheet music. One reads it right-side up, the other upside down, and somehow the music works! Incredible that Mozart was able to pull this off […]

It's a gimmick album and funny as hell, but some of the best metal doesn't take itself too seriously. Netherwild's Peasant Rising is probably gonna be my metal album of the year.

Netherwild's new album is amazing. It's a concept album about a peasant uprising, blending doom, thrash, industrial, and medieval folk. netherwilds.bandcamp.com/album/peas… #netherwilds #metal

[light spoiler for Digger] Digger is very much Dr. Strangelove, but about fossil fuels and the climate crisis. It has a strong meta narrative that feels jarring at first, but works beautifully in context. For me, the whole thing comes together, and the meta elements really pay off in the end […]

Just saw Digger and loved it. I think it's best experienced knowing as little as possible, but I worry that not talking about it means people won't be encouraged to see it. So, a light spoiler review:

Trump says LLMs should be called “super intelligence” now, and anyone still caught saying AI is “the enemy.” Two days later and Bay Area startups are already rebranding. I just saw five Happy Robot cars with fresh graphics to keep on Trump’s good side.

Update: In their infinite wisdom, Patreon have decided my yo-yo video was not, in fact, porn. My video is publicly viewable again. I wrote about the message they sent me and a couple of ways they could improve their content moderation here […]

@docpop Not sure if you saw it yet, but #AdamSavage's #Tested YouTube channel just posted a #video about the #Lightfoot that includes a little bit of footage at the end likely filmed at the same time as your photo (wearing same jacket/hat). Cool stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5FfRfIm_4Q

The Search Engine episode is great, but it does require membership to hear it... Luckily, the interview I did with @evan for the Fediverse Files is still freely available and worth watching here www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLqwKph7Sxk

The Search Engine podcast just dropped a special interview with @evan as part of their member feed. This was part of a larger fediverse themed episode, which has been scrapped, so it's cool that they released this segment at all searchengine.supercast.com/subscrib…

[Cooked meat] The last bit of the mapo tofu went on some pumpkin-stuffed ravioli and let me tell you, dear reader, it was glorious!

[Cooked meat] @nickpegg I never had Fruity pie growing up, but it’s one of my favorite treats as an adult. This map version really hits that same spot too.

BTW, this isn't a joke. Patreon really did take my yo-yo video down to containing "sexual activity" and there's seemingly nothing I can do about it but wait for a message from their support team. Here's a copy of the video they removed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeTnUzBmXSc

On Monday nights, we get to hear the sounds of a Conspiracy of Beards rehearsing across the street. It’s wonderful, but they only perform the music of Leonard Cohen, who I know nothing about. What’s a good album to get acquainted with Leonard’s work?

I keep spotting this Lightfoot e-scooter zipping through our neighborhood. Yes, those are solar panels along the side to extend its range. Bonus points if you can recognize the rider.

A man riding an e scooter on 17th street. The scooter has large solar panels built onto the sides, giving it a very boxy and unusual look. It seems sort of retro futuristic in style too.

The last few times I tried making egg salad turned out awful. That’s why I’m so hyped about this batch. It tasted great too.

Omg, I’m so happy with how this egg salad turned out!

[Cooked meat] Made a delicious mapo tofu dish with a side of family style cucumbers. Both turned out well.

A big bowl filled with wild rice and mapo tofu, beside a cup of tea and a small bowl of cucumbers. The mapo is red colored with ground lamb and large square of tofu, with slices of green onion on top.
