│ how much of a chance should i give an album? sometimes ill │
│ listen to one over and over without it making an impact, │
│ and i'll just keep listening to it, without really caring │
│ about it or mustering the effort to actually download it... │
│ hmmmm... │

│ it is insane to me that there are basically no results for │
│ "fornight burger" online. how has no restaurant made this. │
│ use dry aged beef, pickled veggies, caramelized onions, │
│ and aged cheese on a sourdough bun. seriously, i feel like │
│ this should be so obvious, but i haven't been found it yet │

│ many apps could be spreadsheets, but i think i'd rather │
│ have them be apps. bespoke ones perhaps. shout out │
│ geoffrey litt, wild card, malleable software etc. │

│ is it a coincidence that chicago's football team is the │
│ bears and their baseball team is the cubs? is it also │
│ coincidence that in the big 4 leagues, chicago has 3/4 │
│ team names starting with the letter "b", despite the city │
│ starting with "c"? and the odd one out is the cubs? why │
│ have i never heard anyone talk about this? │
│ │
│ what a strange city... │

┌─ on obsession ───────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ i think my greatest sorrow in life is not being obsessed. │
│ following one's passion seems to be the clearest path to a │
│ life well-lived. of course, this is a problem for those │
│ lacking something to dedicate themselves to. recently, │
│ i've felt dedicated to my family, focusing on supporting │
│ them, and becoming the person they want me to be. │
│ internally, this becomes an excuse for my lack of success │
│ with my career. well, one of many anyways. i don't know │
│ what will fix me, but i'll start with a new goal: │
│ │
│ be obsessed with designing and building great products │
│ to be continued? │

┌─ on open social ─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ i'm not sure why i think about social media so much, but │
│ it seems to be a constant thread in my mind. i use neither │
│ mastodon nor blue sky, because 1) i couldn't decide which │
│ is better for me, 2) the communities seem a bit weird (why │
│ would you call posts toots and skeets???) and 3) i'm not │
│ really all that social in the first place lol. and yet, i │
│ continue to hum and haw about which open protocol is best │
│ and which platform is worst etc. │
│ i need to stop caring somehow. │

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ something about orange socks that's just better than any │
│ other colour. purple kinda close. blue and maroon also │
│ nice. but orange just hits like nothing else. │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────── oct 02 ─┘
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ unicode is amazing │
│ i could spend all day on the wikipedia list of characters │
│ look at this stuff: Ⱑ ⅏ ▓ 🜲 ⏣ ⌑ ⍝ 🀥 ⚚ ✒ ✼ ✠
│ shame they throw off my box spacing lol │
