    Finished a major project at home and feel pretty good about it! It's nice to finally be able to put the tools away and clear up space.

    I met a gal last night. She’s amazing, as far as I can know it at this stage, she’s everything I want in a woman, including a few qualities I feel like I don’t deserve. I could barely sleep last...

    I met a gal last night. She’s amazing, as far as I can know it at this stage, she’s everything I want in a woman, including a few qualities I feel like I don’t deserve. I could barely sleep last night. I’m trying not to prepare for the worst, instead just sitting with this feeling in this moment. It’s awkward, been a long time since I felt anything like this.

    I think one of the reasons analog music sounds better to me is because infinity. More specifically, digital sampling, due to its discrete nature, cannot ever properly express infinity (or the infinitesimal). And this lack is missing. Chaotic variation is a reflection of the infinite nature of the universe, and it’s missing. But humans, with our organic nature, crave a connection with that universal infinity, even as so many of us engineer walls to keep it at bay…

      What are your thoughts on a project like this? I think you could make a similarly convincing argument that we crave finality, closure, endings, resolution etc. Plenty of interesting theories...

      I think you could make a similarly convincing argument that we crave finality, closure, endings, resolution etc. Plenty of interesting theories surrounding immortality and our nature to be finite. I think both are probably moods/aesthetics we like to dip in and out of.

        Well, I would like to hear it in analog, but at a minimum it’s an interesting audio experiment.

        There’s something a little off, though. The scratchy sound from audio recordings of yore was due to wear of media and equipment, it was never designed in. And with each playback, the artifacts change. It’s never the same recording twice.

    If you see a link to a podcast, would you rather it go to youtube or the podcast's home page of the content is the same?

      Good question, I wish there was a universal standard for this. I usually link to podcasts on Spotify, just because it's a platform that most people use or at least are familiar with, but YouTube...

      Good question, I wish there was a universal standard for this. I usually link to podcasts on Spotify, just because it's a platform that most people use or at least are familiar with, but YouTube seems like a logical choice for the same reasons.

      Really I think any of these methods are fine. The important thing is that the name of the podcast and episode number are provided, since most people are likely just going to search for it in their preferred podcast app if they want to listen to it.
