I've begun to find the word "hobby" slightly irksome. It somehow makes me think "your passions are commodified distractions" instead of "this is what you're alive for and what you want to dedicate your life to."

Thought: the culture you grow in irrevocably influences your thought so much that a major reason the world is socially more fractured now is because the world is changing faster and faster (internet), making it harder for each successive micro-generation to relate to the previous and fundamentally understand the ideas they hold dear. This occurred when I realised just how much "being Finnish from the early 90s" has to do with any argument I might have with someone from a different country. Very subtle, usually, but I've been paying attention more, lately. No one was born in a vacuum without cultural ideas, just associations made to stimuli. Arbitrary base truths.

Looking into getting a cheap 35mm SLR and developing the B&W myself. I'm sick of the perfect cleanliness of digital photography. Need to breathe life into them with physical manipulation of the film.

Watched Timo Suosalo's "Kalteva Torni" (The Leaning Tower), starring the inimitable Martti Suosalo. Bit cheesy at times, but the protagonist's depiction of a schizophrenic with his free association, demanding inner voice, and dramatic flair, what a great time. Coulda watched his parts for the whole film. Kupolit kultaa!

I have celebrated the changing of the year by violently expelling all the past year's woes into the toilet following a night of excessive drinking. I sport several layered headaches.

I'm completely radicalised by AI "art": I will never accept it, and in fact fundamentally reject any product made with the help of it. You have given up any right to ever call yourself an artist by giving up your autonomy and pursuit of skillful perfection. Soon, I may begin to consider no longer consuming certain mediums made past year 202X if the trends don't change.

realising basically everyone online is on mobile- i *hate* making every web page design conform to mobile devices, because it means you have to keep scrapping functionality by the boatload. no buttons, huh? alternative is ignoring mobile users, in which case your traffic will be zero.

ah, i've stalled in my writing. i'm stuck on a couple world-building necessities to move on, but i feel like i should just write and it'll probably turn out okay regardless of whether the ideas are *perfectly* planned out or not. blegh.

the worst part of aging on the internet is realising no one else is aging with you and everyone is still a teenager, forever.

I'm stuck writing this theme that I'm using for the story, right? I'm trying to do this thing where there's recurring motivic content for emotional impact as the story unfolds, but man it's easy to get stuck in two-chord loops, hah. I'm no Bach here, regardless of how experienced a musician. Been playing a ton of piano lately- different compositional feel to the guitar.

I've spent the past week just putting in the hours with Blender. Thing's basically magic with how it's free, too. Amazing piece of software.
💬 1 Reply · 0 Thumbs · 1 year ago
I've spent all day learning Blender so I could create a couple assets for the next part of my story. That was painful. Maybe I'll get faster as time goes on, hah. Welp, back to writing. On another note, I came up with some worldbuilding that actually had me consult my old graduate topology textbook and thesis to make sure it all works right, hah.

I've begun to believe that all online video essay content is trash where the value is entirely parasocial by talentless hacks who have no central thesis at all. Maybe it's just the blurry plastic film of advertiser appeasement on top, but god, feel like I've never seen anyone say something *interesting* in one of those. There's so many, and they all belong on the third monitor to keep the silence and your own thoughts at bay. Like most of the modern internet.

Oh my poor lethargy. The sunlight hours are about to drop under 7 a day. Not that any sunlight shows for those either through the permanent overcast!

i think i'm waking from my design frenzy. it's been three or so days of non-stop css and feature-creep. everything is way too meticulous, time to get on the creative side again. ...just one more UI/UX feature i swear i can quit whenever i want.
💬 3 Replies · 3 Thumbs · 1 year ago
Wrote a bunch more tonight. I got to use my new features of sound effects and branching paths. I'm so glad to be done with the JS for now. More coffee forever. I'm pretty excited about the project.

http://fiveoverfour.com/paths/path_one/quiet built this music-storytelling thing for my site. god, it took *so* much coding, probably 10-11 hours today, but i've got the main structure working. now i can focus on the creative side. check it out, i'm kinda proud of the design.

I've been using the talon software for a voice dictation for all of today, and it works way better than I ever expected. while I'm not going to entirely retire my hands, I feel like it's going to make a big difference in the strain by cutting out a lot of unnecessary mouse and keyboard use. I wrote this entire message without touching the keyboard or the mouse, hehehe.

Oh the sleep cycle, it goes round and round and round... Woke up at 6pm, 8pm, 10pm, midnight, 1am, 2:30am... One day, there will be two weeks where I wake up within the same hour.

someone in the finland subreddit interested in building a 1kW square wave generator with a <50ns dropoff to somehow generate ''''free'''' energy. unbeknownst to him, it would be simply be a very illegal broadband jammer, lol.

Ugh, my cybersec practice died when my laptop died. Friggin thing, gotta fix it. Something about the CMOS- OS wipes every time the battery goes out, replaced the SSD, too. Also, trying to get your home network to allow all the stuff you're trying to do is *a pain*. Was doing Black Hat Python and man, nothing goes through internally, lol.
