📚 I like what the PARA method is doing, but as I said there’s a challenge in knowing “in which of my places is that Inbox, Project, Area, Resource, or Archive?”

Here’s some guidance from the author, though it’s not a fully-satisfactory/useful answer.

"I use the following rules of thumb to tell me which digital storage medium is best for any given piece of information: &10; &10;* If it’s an appointment or meeting happening at a specific time, it goes on my calendar &10;* If it’s a task that I can complete anytime, it goes in my to-do list app &10;* If it’s text, it goes in my notetaking app (since that offers the best search function by which to find it again) &10;* If it’s content that I’ll be collaborating on with others, it goes in my cloud storage drive &10;* If it can’t go in any of the above locations (because it’s too large or a specialized file type, for example), then it goes in my computer’s file system (the Documents folder)" (Tiago Forte, The PARA Method)

Penzey’s spices. Not just delicious. Spicy. Read the whole thing!

best spice shop page I’ve ever read: Penzeys

From the environment, to racism, to health, to saving our democracy at home & growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face. The other half of the time they are the problem we face.

“Post-apocalyptic but more Dark Sun than Gamma World” what would that evoke for you? #GameDev

The life phases of listening:

  • “turn it up, I’m invulnerable”
  • “turn it down, it hurts”
  • “turn it up, I can’t hear”
  • “turn it down, my aids are in”

🎶 Incredible update (re: Furnace Fest)

Extol had visa issues last year and couldn’t make it.

Just announced that Extol will play 2024, but with Bruce Fitzhugh (of Living Sacrifice) singing!

🚲 Indy-area folks:

Have you tried biking to Newfields or Penrod? Are there decent places to lock up your bike?

Reeder + @sod feeds for micro.blog is so far a great experience.

Get everything in one place, and the @sod links make it easy to reply to fedi/bluesky/micro.blog posts all from your micro account, instead of having to root around and for the post in a timeline to reply from some account or another.

🎶 Are you going to Furnace Fest?

We’re not sure the actual collective noun for raccoons, but I’ve decided “dumpster” or “cybertruck” are sufficient.

🚲 Cold ride into work this morning, and it’s going to be sweltering on the way home. It is truly September. 🤷

🎶 What’s the current best way to distribute a full DJ set? (Preferably with full audio, but a playable or importable set list would be ok)

📚 looking forward to my next @dswanson book!

A book titled "Plundered: The Tangled Roots of Racial and Environmental Injustice" by David W. Swanson

📺 We’re on our third Walter Presents show, and each has been incredible.

It’s like “Masterpiece Theatre” but non-English language.

In the USA it’s available on PBS passport, but it varies for other regions:

The image shows the logo for "Walter Presents" and lists its broadcast areas, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, United States, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

🃏♟️ This was ridiculous.

I had 59 victory points and approximately ♾️ gold.

Dominion cards: tunnel, oasis, and cartographer. Two of them have a discard action included, and once gives you a gold when it’s discarded from a discard action.

🗳️ Being an independent, I can look at the US presidential race and notice things like:

Wow, in the pre-manbaby era of the modern Republican Party, it seems like Harris represents the kind of platform that Republicans would select for a candidate.

Observe diligently, consider the motivating factors, and reject requirements that are unnecessary. #WisdomWeave

⚽️ Good luck #IXI

See if you can beat those long odds against Sporting KC! #OpenCup #Cupset

update: they did not, but they already did something incredible by beating an MLS team to get to the semifinal
