Started rewatching Mr. Robot tonight. So good.
I need to compile a list of well-designed objects I use regularly and love. Most would fall under the category of buy-it-for-life. One such object is the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote, Zip-Top (they make one without a zipper too). It’s a tank of a bag, machine-washable and comfortable to carry, no matter how much stuff is in it. I would say it’s a nearly perfect product, though I do wish it came in all black.
About a month ago I started getting frequent and intensely painful headaches on the right side of my head. I ended up going to the ER a few weeks ago to get a CT, which turned up nothing. I had MRIs today and they didn’t turn up anything that would be causing the headaches either. Now what?
When I write on paper, usually in a journal-type notebook, it’s like trying to run a marathon without training. It starts off just fine, but usually, within 10-20 minutes of writing, my hand starts cramping, legibility declines and I rarely push through it.
Most days I work to instrumental music. A lot of times it’s ambient music of some kind. Today it’s one of the greatest ambient albums ever, The Expanding Universe by Laurie Spiegel.
Cool bit of trivia – Kepler’s Harmony of The Worlds was included on the golden record aboard the Voyager spacecraft.
Really wish there were more people like Rhonda Patrick doing health podcasts. She’s one of the only people le I’ve heard give an honest answer about Athletic Greens.
Why are we putting lavender in everything?! Stop it.
Now that Anthropic has an official Claude app, I think I’m going to switch from ChatGPT and see how it goes.
I transcribed the new Kendrick diss track using Mac Whisper (highly recommended app btw) as it played in a browser on YouTube (worked really well) so I could read the lyrics (uh, w o w). Then, just out of curiosity, I asked Perplexity about it. Perplexity is very good at this kind of thing.
