Guess I’m going to AWA after all. I arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson on Thursday at around 4PM (assuming O’Hare doesn’t botch things, ha ha). See you there.
code : computer-based artwork :: light : photography. I’ll expand on that in a later post; just wanted to jot the idea down. Also, I hate how simultaneously verbose and ambiguous “computer-based artwork” is. (The act of coding is a computer-based art, but it’s not what I’m going after.) There must be a better way to describe “a visual or aural artist whose medium is that of the computer”.
My Macbook Pro’s keyboard has become useless: the H, J, and Y keys no longer respond. The machine is also out of its AppleCare period, which expired sometime back in May of this year, and I doubt the price to fix that problem will be worth it. Time for a new laptop.
For future short blurbs, you may want to subscribe to @scatterbrained. (No, not Twitter. Twitter isn’t a free network service.)
I’ve become convinced that microblogging does have some redeeming traits, such as being able to throw out half-baked ideas for further refinement into code/prose/visuals/whatever, or mindless link propagation which might be helpful to someone else. (That’s happened a few times to me already.) I’ve found it to be damn hard to squeeze substantial ideas into 140 characters, too, so maybe this will be a good exercise in concision. Obviously, you won’t see me echoing dents here.
Yes, I am aware of the irony present in the fact that this paragraph is the longest paragraph of this post.
