iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I swear the only high tech thing I’ve bought that hasn’t sucked lately is my ebike.

As someone with a plugin-hybrid Prius, I can validate the decision to avoid Priuses. They used to be reliable, this one has not been.

All I can say is I'm glad airport security isn't very imaginative, because if I saw a bag with a clockwork bonesaw and a human skull in it I would immediately start building narratives around NOUN(skull) and VERB(bonesaw).

As a wholly self-taught artist, the first time I came across another artist who thought (like I always have) that Lichtenstein is shit it made me feel more like a real artist than any commentary on my work ever has.

Fantastic and heartbreaking piece “James had been expressing the difficulty of capturing trans experience in language that might help cis folks better understand us: “So that people don’t have to be afraid of us and hate us and treat us badly the way they do.””

I can confirm these are all entirely normal items to carry through an airport. Why, I'd put all my skulls into a duffel bag just for that Santa Claus look. More of an original Saint Nicholas, actually. Okay, don't travel with what he would've traveled with.

Come to think of it, in art, Don Quixote often is wearing something that looks quite a lot like one of these bowls. I am woefully unCervantes'd so I have no idea if that's actually from the novel or a feature purely of art (and later at that).

That means… USB powered airbrush pump! These are amazing little gizmos and I highly recommend them! For me, the phone app just wouldn’t recognize the Vflex (you use an app to configure voltage output), but worked fine on my desktop PC.

I got a Werewolf VFlex quite a while back and have done nothing with it until just now. No, it’s not a sex toy. (Though it could benefit some) It’s a tiny USB-C device that lets you power anything with a barrel jack plug with anything that outputs juice over USB. werewolf.us

Let’s say it again for the people in the back. If your publishing company “needs” to dip into author royalties to stay afloat then you do not have a functioning business and you need to go out of business and pay off your debts in the process. You aren’t a special case. You are just a thief

Just a reminder that Director David O Russell did this to his 19 year old niece. He’s a vile human and it makes me angry whenever he gets to direct another fucking movie. So please don’t watch his upcoming Madden movie. 🤢

It’s worth noting King Solomon also had an army of captive demons that knew architecture and a worm that made perfectly smooth cuts through stone. Really makes you think.

I am slowly developing a new religion around the notion that math is no more real than semiotics or matter but you don’t hear me asking people to admit that the universe as we understand it is a sensory lie from obfuscatory meat trapped in the lowest level of reality.

Some embarrassing things I’ve discovered about ordinary objects: Most aluminum foil and plastic wrap boxes have tabs you can press in to prevent the roll from coming out when you pull out a sheet. Those zip tabs on boxes pretty reliably come off if you pull them slowly. Why’d it take me so long?

Remember, once you've sacrificed a child to ensure the harvest, you must never once allow doubt that it worked. You can't draw the blade from their tiny chest and put the blood back in. If you think about this, you will go mad. Maybe another child will help you forget the way the cries stopped.
