So for the last couple months, on a whim, I have been making Weird Sticks. The extremely high ceilings of our living room would eat any painting smaller than a Volkswagen Bug, so I got the idea that a sufficiency of six foot sticks might fill that space nicely.

Three boards, about 3.5 inches wide, painted in turquoise and black with random geometric shapes and found objects all over them. They are leaning against a glass case full of skulls, with a deer skull on one side and some more sticks, backlit, on the other.

I want to talk about being a software engineering manager in a world where AI is changing everything all at once. First, change is hard on humans. Even good change is stressful. People are built for survival, which means: if you aren’t dying, keep doing whatever already “works”

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

started playing PEAK by @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social and all I can think about is the genius of the everything-meter

screenshot of the stamina meter from the game PEAK. it is a horizontal bar, currently divided into four sub-sections: the amount available to you as stamina (green), and the amount that has been subtracted for other temporary game conditions, in this case encumbrance (red), hunger (yellow), and poison (purple).

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

excerpt reads: "I hear stories about directors who scream at actors, or they trick them somehow to get a performance. And there are some people who try to run the whole business on fear. But I think this is such a joke -- it's pathetic and stupid at the same time.
When people are in fear, they don't want to go to work. So many people today have that feeling. Then the fear starts turning into hate, and they begin to hate going to work. Then the hate can turn into anger and people can become angry at their boss and their work.
If I ran my set with fear, I would get 1 percent, not 100 percent, of what I get. And there would be no fun in going down the road together. And it *should* be fun. In work and in life, we're all supposed to get along. We're supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It's supposed to be great living; it's supposed to be fantastic."

My daughter saw my computer and said “you have too many tabs open.” I then zoomed out and showed her all the windows she couldn’t see (that had too many tabs)…

Stop what you're doing and read this. (unless you're driving or performing some kind of surgery, in which case you probably shouldn't be reading anything at all right now)

Too bad the star system for #android14 launch day only has one planet.

Screenshot of the Android 14 easter egg, which is a simple vector-graphics spaceflight simulator. The vaguely androidesque spacecraft has landed on the sole planet in today's star system: Eclair Psi 1, a pungent moonlet with a reticulated atmosphere, corduroy fauna, and low-poly flora.

I have a website. For years I kept a blog there and then stopped due to social media posting and also game dev making me more boring. Now I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to draw eyes to a site. In a lot of ways the internet actually is worse now than it was a while back.
