At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I\u2019ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad. I find knowing I\u2019ll revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at\u00a0post.lurk.org\/@disquiet<\/a>), and I\u2019m also trying out\u00a0a few others<\/a>. And I generally take weekends off social media.<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0It doesn\u2019t seem that windy, but the Golden Gate Bridge is singing like nobody\u2019s business<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0Nothing like waking up to fog horns<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0<\/span>Books are a Ponzi scheme. Every time I finish reading one, I wanna read several more.<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0One good thing about selling music gear is you don\u2019t just get rid of the gear, you get rid of another box.\u00a0 And if you carry the package by foot to the post office, you feel even lighter after mailing it.<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0Been in three group book clubs and one two-person book club this year, and there\u2019s nothing like reading a book with other people \u2014 more dutiful, perhaps, but so much more insight, and I pay a different sort of attention.<\/p>\n \u25b0\u00a0This week in #dronescrolling: Dunno if I\u2019ll do this regularly or not, but it occurs to me I might, as part of the social media summary (slash digital life self-assessment) that I compile at the end of each week, post some mentions of solid things other people posted. Here are a few: Jeremy Wentworth<\/strong> regularly uploads short clips of his VCV Rack<\/a> (i.e., modular synthesizer in software form) patches on his Mastodon account. The musician Dave Seidel<\/strong>, aka mysterybear<\/strong>, posted a janky yet photogenic jury-rigged stereo-mono adapter<\/a> on Threads. Femi Shonuga-Fleming<\/strong> (aka Sadnoise<\/strong>) posted, on Instagram, a massive steel horn art object<\/a> he made with Enid Corcoran<\/strong>. And these next are actually from a little earlier in the month, but Jeremy Bushnell<\/strong> published on Bluesky a bunch of photos of musicians performing at the recent Cleveland Re:Sound event, including Keith Fullerton Whitman<\/a> and Maria Ch\u00e1vez<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
