Listening to Swans' “The Seer” makes my stomach hurt but it’s so good that I don’t care. #NowPlaying
Calm technology
I’ve been using Logseq regularly for a while. Love it. But now with more VC money, they’re saying things like “Accelerate Growth of the New World Knowledge Graph” and it makes me nervous. Settle down, Logseq, you’re a note-taking app.
How mechanical watches work. Riveting! (via Gruber)
Judas Priest - “Rocka Rolla”. It’s an odd record that I’ve come to enjoy more over time. #NowPlaying

I was in a foul mood this morning so I spent an hour making prints in the darkroom and now I feel much better. That never happens with Lightroom.

Well, that was brutal and disturbing. What a terrific debut.
