iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I ran 8 miles yesterday and today and my potassium balance is out of whack. Why did I get a cramp in my shoulder? My feet feel twitchy. I love running!

Made this cute little animation from the promo art by Scott Sinclair for my bands next single that comes out tomorrow.

This part hurt. I am me but I’m also a thousand versions of me. Each person gets a perfectly curated version that I hope will make me palatable to them so I don’t cause offense or discomfort. I absorb everything I can to be relatable. It’s all dross layered on a reclusive nucleus.

Hard week for me, but the one thing I’m really getting sick of is a bunch of ads for clearly AI written “reference guides” and educational books. That is straight up stolen work from people who actually did do the research and experimentation.

Oooph, when one of the big discussion topics of the day online drags the trauma right up to the surface. Rough.

I’m always so humbled when anyone cares to talk to me about my professional or creative opinions. Like I’m just some nerd who cares about making the places people work and create things as cool as possible.

Ran one of my faster recent 10ks last night and then came straight home and crashed out for 9 hours. Had weird dreams my band played a show where we covered a song I’d never learned.

The two games I was most excited for this fall are both getting good reviews and now I just need to make time to actually play them.

Started my work week off in a very chipper mood. I hope this holds. Maybe it’s the fall weather, or maybe it’s because I went worm mode over the weekend and got to relax a bunch.

Went to see resident evil and there was a trailer for a movie so bad that I thought the daily wire might have produced it. I forget what it was called but it was essentially a white vet dude killing corpo dudes who tried to come steal his land. The grossest reddit baby brained shit I’ve ever seen.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

Yann in crimson desert is the best acted and best written supporting character in a long time. He’s the kind of friend you hate but also want to hang out with constantly so you don’t miss out on anything crazy.

I decided when I moved back to pgh I’d get my health back in order. We’re nearly 6 months in and I’ve gone to a pcp, am nearly caught up on dental work, and have a final few appointments to make but am otherwise pretty healthy. I want to lose 20-25 lbs but otherwise no major issues.

Widge @widgeroni.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It’s not exactly a W, but it’s at least an acknowledgement of the situation and a way to evenly give people an opportunity to get something back. Maybe others will follow suit.

My grandma ate a grapefruit nearly every morning for breakfast. Maybe it’s my age, but the only soda I’ve really cared about lately is Fresca. My journey is nearly complete.

I love valheim, enshrouded and palworld, but my biggest gripe with all of them is your character build is very linear in all of them. Equipment and skills tend to funnel towards an optimal set rather than letting you go crazy, especially in solo play.

Woof, listening to all the Andy Williams memorial videos has me real messed up. ETID was one of the most influential bands to my generation for a very niche part of music. To hear how nice and generous he was with his time is inspiring.

I think American society in general treats any creative outlet that isn’t tied to making money or a career as “childish” and that people who do try to do independent art professionally deserve to be “starving artists” for daring to exist outside corporatism.

Finally getting to Crimson Desert and man, what a mechanically complex gem of a game this is. I wish the story moved along a bit quicker, but it’s given me a reason to get invested in the starting area and the weirdos who live there.

Again embarrassed by my decade long career at Google. In no way would we have ever stood for this back in the 2000s. To see something I cared about fall to tyrants whims is disappointing.

Once again had a dream where I had an apartment I forgot I rented. I had rented it sight unseen and the landlord hadn’t moved the previous tenants stuff out. I should probably see a therapist about how I get jealous when I see moving trucks or people moving into places.

BI does one of these like every week and they basically amount to “we missed our friends and our community”. That’s why most people move back to a place, me included. I think the editors there long for home and use these as validation www.businessinsider.com/moved-from-c...

We moved from Chicago to a much smaller Midwestern city. It had a lot of perks, but not enough to keep us.

My husband and I moved from Chicago to Lafayette, Indiana. Living in the smaller city helped give us a career boost, but we eventually moved back home.

I saw the NOFX movie last night. It was entertaining but amounted to Fat Mike spending nearly 2 hours defending his drug use and trying to be the good guy in breaking up the band.

After like 30 years of watching anime it finally hit me why I ignore most movies of a series. They’re filler arcs. One piece has so much filler that I don’t need more filler movies. I’m sure they’re good but I got 1100 episodes already.

Listen, if you’re not happy single, you won’t be happy in a relationship either, happiness comes from picking a new hobby and then buying all the things to start that hobby then finding the perfect little storage container for those things and then putting that storage container in the spare room
