@androidqueen what albums or “era”? did you land on polyrock at any point during the year?

@kavehv first ten seconds of don't stop still gives me goosebumps

music is so great, i turn on basement jaxx's remedy immediately for just a moment i'm back in high school, listening to it on a discman on the bus to school

@scientiffic i thought they were a way to quickly coordinate a bedroom without having to find a whole comforter cover and matching set, but like this is a level of accessorizing and interior design i have not ascended to yet

still annoyed that dan brown foisted 'symbology' onto the world two decades ago

absolutely going to check in some code that describes access persimmons and realizing i’ll end up adding fuyu and hachiya acl levels, you know, “just because”

@bvaughn had the same experience with powerline btw, some work being done on my house now and finally have a reason/way to run ethernet to random spots in the house

@bvaughn do you have to fish that ethernet or does it already exist?

@vaurora @lindsey @jpf oblong was so cool! i loved the one demo app they had with all the rotoscoped segments from Playtime, i wish id had more time to work with it when i was at risd

@omar that's awesome! it was very capable, and it was very well thought out, it was incredibly possible to wire stuff together and achieve the sort of neutral netvibes aesthetic with very little effort

just had a flashback to developing code for netvibes

spotify sucks but also, i want to just call out that maybe the most minor and surprising personal growth development in my lifetime has been my complete 180 on "New Age"/Elevator Music from when i was a kid to now. like, i absolutely scorned anything pure-moods adjacent back then and now i absolutely seek it out because it feels like it's doing something genuinely novel in much the same way idm/jungle felt when i first heard them in the mid 90s

honestly kinda ridiculous the number of things i have pirated just so i can screenshot them

Sunshine (2007) director, danny boyle. screenwriter, alex garland.

there’s something about the production of All I Want For Christmas Is You, the crispy drums, the kind of oppressive 4/4 beat paired with a kind of bittersweet cheer that, and this is the part i haven’t investigated too closely, _always_ reminds me of the theme music for Red Dwarf

been listening to it for over a decade and just realized this week that it's not saying "takin' over" or, like, it is, it is saying that, but the song is called technova and it's also saying that.

@bshaykin oh man, a real Opportunity to get some silver lamé hot pants on snoop and a small go-go platform for the clock

not sure if it’s just i’m using an old version, but swc turning [...iter] into [].concat(iter) just absolutely is the wrong transform if iter is a js iterator, not sure why it didn’t choose Array.from(iter)

@aphyr it’s pretty grim out there but i was just in a roadrunner sports and they had a pair of 3/4 neon green tights (in addition to their usual selection of black) so maybe nature is starting to heal?
