when you can see through glass and also see a reflection on that glass that's so weird. i don't think i'll ever get over this. if i do get over it then that is the surest sign that i am not me anymore but someone else. dead man's switch but like for identity haha.

shoutouts to anyone who has ever committed to a bit! (unless your bit sucks then nvm) (this offer is valid for correct bits only)

yeah, me .

i'm entering my simple era

yes. not a theoretical question

enjoying sunlight is rather unfashionable here in the pacific northwest (citation needed, whatever) but after living in basements and north-facing apartments for several years, it still feels wonderful every time i get sunlight in my apartment. especially in the winter!

"something important to me" — hmm i decided that for context it needs to cook a little longer. however the projector is now showing me a photo of a bumper sticker that says "honk if ur full of piss 💛" so i stay winning

1. i have a projector that runs "google tv", which shows a slideshow of static images when it goes idle.
2. the default images that it shows do not spark joy, so i set it up to display something else.
3. the only decent option i had for "something else" was an album from "google photos". but i don't make "google photos" albums, and i was not about to make one specifically for the projector (yak shaving, etc).
4. there is a "favorites" album that is automatically created from photos i have "favorited". this is not a feature i use often, but i apparently use it just enough for there to be some images in there. so i went with it.
5. now when the projector goes idle, i see a slideshow of Cool Picture, Funny Picture, and Good Book Picture and it actually slaps.

anyway the projector also just reminded me of something important to me that i'll post because it's my website and i do what i want. cool

when i was a kid, my grandma kept around a couple different books that were basically collections of tips and tricks for repurposing household items in various ways and i think that had an effect on me. she also washed ziploc bags to reuse them and to this day i have no idea how "normal" or not that is
