The Nick Cave of “Wild Gods” is in a good mood, after a long while, and from it he’s made a beautiful, joyful record.
“This flaming boy said, ‘We’ve all had too much sorrow, now is the time for joy.'”
This resonates today.
I have the following table formula at the bottom of my weight log table in org-mode and I totally understand how it works…
#+TBLFM: $3=vmean(@-6$-1..@0$-1);%.1f::@2$3=0::@3$3=0::@4$3=0::@5$3=0::@6$3=0::@7$3=0

I logged into the tilde.club server after a long time, typed “mutt” and found 678 emails in the inbox. Most are spam, but there are some threads between users, too. The longest one is an argument about rms, which is its own form of spam, I guess. Tilde.club was so fun. tilde.club
Speaking of records, I don’t buy a ton of vinyl, but when Nick Cave releases a new record, I’m going for the “Limited Edition (Grey) Vinyl”. store-na.nickcave.com/products/…
My mom (82) wanted to listen to music and her record player is broken, so I thought I’d introduce her to the joy of streaming using Apple Music on the AppleTV. What a mistake. The entire experience was confusing and horrible. I’m getting her a new turntable instead.
In any given 72-hour period, I can go from, “I’m going to live completely within Emacs using my 10-years-in-the-making custom config forever.” to “I never want to launch Emacs again!”… and back again. I’ve got note-taking whiplash (and obviously some other issues 😁).
Spent today building this with my daughter. Not bad for a couple of complete rookies.
A few weeks ago I spun up a Ghost instance (on PikaPods). This was meant to be for photography-related posts and galleries. I never shared it because I didn’t know if it would stick around. It didn’t. I deleted it this morning. I don’t need a separate photo blog, I guess.
What my poor journal sees every day.
The comments on Verge’s article “Hello, you’re here because you said AI image editing was just like Photoshop” are all basically saying, “AI image editing is just like Photoshop”. www.theverge.com/2024/8/26…
I can’t remember if I shelved the wonderful little Canonet because of some issue or if it just sort of happened. I’ve loaded a roll of HP5 into it, so we’re about to find out
You can tell by my recent movie reviews that I must be in a sour mood, lately. I mean, 3.5 stars for Anchorman? c’mon!
I don’t really enjoy printing contact sheets, but I love having printed contact sheets, so that’s what I’m doing this morning.
I’ve been feeling the urge to have a separate microblog again, so I’ve dusted off the ol' Micro.blog account. Let’s see what happens.
My Leica SL2 is for sale if anyone is looking for a really really nice 47 Megapixel mirrorless camera. jbaty.smugmug.com/For-Sale/…
I replaced the yellow legal pad on my desk with DSri’s “Emergent Task Planner”. I used an ETP almost daily from 2012-2018. If you’re a paper person, I recommend trying them.
