Knowing how to do things

Two comedy clips I think about surprising often. Tim Robinson on how not everyone knows everything and Harris Wittels on not being impressed by juggling.

I wrote a bit more about what I enjoyed about Meeting Mr. Kid Pix.

I like this clip where they talk about the end image not being the point. But I also find it challenging because I use the fact that there is an end image to differentiate creative tools from video games.

I still think there's something about the fact that an image is produced... I also don't know why I'm so set on differentiating creative tools and video games.

It happened to me
I was writing a lot and then I decided I needed to redo the blog and then I thought I can't write more until I finish redoing the blog and so I wasn't writing.

How this works
This site is a bash build script that concats HTML together. I also put together a little start script using fzf that has some common task options new_post / build / commit. I really like the feel of the starting bash script - it makes it feel like writing in this blog is its own little dedicated computer program.

Thinking about things that make you see the world around you differently: ARGs, birding, mushroom hunting, simulating physical phenomena in code, drawing.

Thread-focused blog idea
What if I made a blog like this blog but also more like Twitter. Where I could make little posts, or I could also reply to old posts, bumping that 'thread' of posts to the top. But (like Twitter) it would show the update, with an indication and ability to click through to see the full thread.

Is everything a prototype?
Prototypes shouldn't look too nice. They should look like a work-in-progress. They should show their joints.

Carving at the joints
I've always liked building systems where the joints are visible: legos, Minecraft. Lately I've been thinking about the process of learning how to find the joints in systems where they're less visible. Of 'carving at the joints'.

Obsessive bluetooth pairing
I'm having trouble pairing my wireless keyboard with my mini PC. I keep trying new things and searching the problem in different combos.

@neil saw your post on xreal air as external monitor, am thinking of trying the same. Do you still use them? Anything I should consider?

Another cyberdeck iteration. Skeleton of wood. Main dilemma is too many too long cords. Size of the area around the screen sort of defeats purpose of skinny screen, think I'm going to increase the depth instead.
