GAR FORMAN WAS FIRED!!! Hooray!!!!!

Been having fun playing around with my public Roam and TiddlyWiki this weekend. Interested to see where it goes and what actually sticks.

🎵 Empty by Nils Frahm | Missed that this came out in late March. Enjoying it, seems more subtle and quieter than his last album.

Thanks to David @ Blot I’ve gotten on the bandwagon of having posts display in order (oldest to newest) by day (newest to oldest) on the blog.

Also setup a separate public Roam database under the same name, Variably Distressed. Going to play around with both of these public spaces, Roam and TiddlyWiki, for a little bit.

Whelp, thanks to @c I have a TiddlyWiki setup: Variably Distressed. Occasionally, I’m getting errors when it tries to save, but I’ve been able to edit from my phone and have it saved back, which is pretty neat.

🎵 When I Get to Heaven by John Prine | Hope he’s havin’ a cigarette that’s nine miles long. R.I.P.

📌 Dr. Seuss’s Fox in Socks Rapped Over Dr. Dre’s Beats | Kottke

When it comes to team-building there are only a few teams who have truly done it well over a consistent period for both the present and future. Denver, Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, and of course the Warriors and Spurs. So the fact the Bulls snagged Karnisovas from Denver to be their new VP is a positive sign. The hiring practices still seem like a bit of a joke, but hopefully Karnisovas is better as he begins his search for a new GM.

Until my zoom conference call this evening, this was the first day where I truly felt separated from the world. Didn’t read and news or feeds, didn’t really do much at all. It’s an odd feeling.

Thankful for having two smart and wonderful cousins who both looked over my resume and cover letter and then did a zoom conference call to walk through them together. They are looking quite spiffy.

I’ve been really impressed with QCODE fiction podcasts, and they seem to be getting better with each show. I started with Blackout and then Carrier. Currently keeping up with The Left Right Game (fantastic so far), and just started Gaslight as I wait for new LRG episodes.

Got through a couple Quibi shows today. Going to try to watch a few more tomorrow and then write an initial impressions review of the service and launch shows. So far, I still see a lot of potential in the service, but no show has stood out as a reason to subscribe.

I know their whole schtick is watching video on the go, but I’m still surprised Quibi doesn’t have an Apple TV app. Obviously, they couldn’t have predicted most people would be constantly home right now, but still, if you make quality shows, some people will want to watch on their TV, no matter the length.

I’ve been trying to utilize a new trial and watch one film a day from the Criterion Channel. Last week I watched 8 1/2, Rashomon, and Eraserhead. This weeks plan is to get to at least In Cold Blood, Stranger Than Paradise, and An Elephant Sitting Still.

Just started a Quibi trial. Won’t really be able to dive in until tomorrow, but one thing that I noticed was The Daily Chill, which is basically a daily five minute guided meditation video. Maybe we’ll see a seven minute daily workout video show in the future?

Thinking more about reversing post order by day; I think my ideal set-up would have a most recent section at the top, and then everything listed in order by time for each day. This way I can see the newest thing at the top and then still have the days posts flowing in the order they were posted. Not sure I have the chops to set this up myself, but I’ll dig into it a little more this week.
