please imagine a ridiculously energetic process.

what did you imagine?

what do you call a popular mastodon account asking followers to solve equations?

clout computing

ack! it's already an hour later than yesterday around the same time!

does anyone else always carefully scoop up their plushies rather than just grabbing them a paw/ear/whatever else is close, or is that just me?

setting up some of our recording gear for teleconferencing was worth it. no endless fiddling with headsets that don't fit right, just rotate a microphone in view. :D

rar!

even better when someone asks the next day what you made for dinner, and you can honestly reply "mistakes"

it's nice every time you make food and agree to never make that particular thing again

need to borrow your robot friend's vocal amplifier for your musical performance? plug a synth into your synth!

dragons are magical catbirds, right?

just, huge thanks to everyone putting CWs on their posts. 💜 💚

we have returned from grocery shopping, and yesterday's announcement that the city is taking measures sure has hit the stores. in a way.

nothing is sold out, except for toilet paper and dried pasta. that's a bit of an odd combination, right? we /do/ know that you can make spirits from toilet paper, maybe you can make a bangin' pasta sauce from it as well? have we used toilet paper wrong all these years??

we've just cancelled our free month of amazon prime membership, and if it had been a conversation it would have been one between a child and an abusive parent.

this is horrifying. how many people are bullied into spending money they don't have for a service they don't need with methods like that?

wow. you can get some /really/ resonant sounds out of an ikea salad bowl and a kitchen scraper

just cryptid things: that moment of indecision when some asks "what are you, some kind of monster?", whether to answer "no!" or "well, /technically/ ..."

current mood: wanting to create an archive of sounds everyone experience, but rarely pays attention to. the decaying ring of glasses softly struck, the electric hum of a toaster heating from cold, the solid thump of a toe striking a heavy chest.

to be called: the foley of man

in every discworld reader's life there is a point we might call Peak Pratchett. in this essay we will ...

wow, we've forgotten almost everything about kerberos since we set it up for this nfs system :(

we are not easy to be easy to be around around.

why can't upgrading an internet connection just /work/ and not be major pain in the tail that takes hours of debugging to resolve /and still not work as well as it did before the upgrade/
