iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I checked mine, but it didn’t say anything about my buttocks.

This is neat! I kinda wanna do this, but movies. (As I don’t know game scores that well)

I meant “lighthearted” but actually I am a bit lightheaded now. Jiminy.

I’m sorry I try to keep it lightheaded on here, but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. Also, firing squad‽!

I wish I could see the original video of the talk, but the transcript is a very good read: opentranscripts.org/transcript/prog…

Fright-fall day 8: "Teeth"

If I wanted to take those old cylinders or turntable objects, and turn them into something that’s actually viewable today, what would you recommend? I used “VR Worx” ~30 years ago, but I’ve no idea what’s out there now.

Do you remember QTVR? I still have the tripod rig I had to take 360° panoramas that you could stitch into some sort of cylindrical “VR” to peruse, or link from one room to another.

It’s been a hard day. I wish I had a corndog.

Looking forward to this show. A Michael Palin appearance!

Before noon: The day holds so much promise and possibility! I’m going to accomplish so much! After noon: The day is almost over. What have I been doing? I haven’t accomplished anything! I’m such a failure. Maybe I should give up and try again tomorrow.

The Uncanny Magazine Podcast Episode 72B features “Children of Calliope” by Seanan McGuire, as read by Erika Ensign; “Butterfly Effect” by Angela Liu, as read by Matt Peters; Michael Damian Thomas interviewing Seanan McGuire! buff.ly/ZJuFxHA

The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 72, "Fluid" by Galen Dara: A femme-coded being stares at us with light and dark blue-green skin and red lips. A read heart-shaped organ is in front of her chest with white tendrils and green sprouts and roots with drops of red and a couple of many-red-petaled flowers. Surrounding her are splashes ofyellow, yellow-green, orange, pink, and green-blue and large similar many-red-petaled flowers. In white text is the "Uncanny" banner, "September/October 2026," Issue Seventy-Two," and the artist, writer, essayist, poets, and Uncanny staff credits.

I kind of want to know the story behind how Hackers had not one, not two, but THREE soundtrack CDs. I mean in 2 and 3 we’re getting into “music from and inspired by…”, but they’re all pretty much bangers.

But the photos have some sort of aura about them that is lacking with today’s crisp digital photography. It was my first digital camera, and I really appreciate how weird it was. And it took (4) AA batteries!! Marvelous. www.dpreview.com/reviews/0217378659…

ANYWAY, as I was sorting through a ton of duplicates, and merging very old libraries (thanks to @bwebster and PowerPhotos), I was taken by what a *look* the photos taken by my old Kodak DC280 had. Is it a *good* look? No, not necessarily. Are the photos high quality? Definitely not.

I was cleaning up my photo archives recently — I dumped everything into Apple Photos! I don’t care! I’ve tried Aperture and Lightroom and whatever, and I’ve been burned every time, but iPhoto is free and has been around approximately forever. It’s demonstrably fine.

Do you ever have a thought of something that you should do, and then you lose the thought, so you have to scroll back and re-create the conditions under which the thought originally emerged?

As I was scrolling this into view I thought it was going to be a strangely formatted Muppet Show special guest post.
