The Workshop

Working on

I made a WKRP app that basically adds Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap among other voice hosts between songs. It’s hands off and is really neat. I won’t go in depth here, but reach out if you’re curious. I’ll eventually ship it to GitHub, but right now its private.

Reading

I recently cleared out my Reader list of PhD graduate school books. I have something neat related to that that I’m working on. Currently, I’m reading research articles germane to my research area.

Small pleasure

Sam’s Club pickup orders. I love Sam’s club so much.

Recent discovery

After heading to South Carolina at the end of August, it reminded me again of how large the world is and to not get caught up in my own head because the expansiveness of the world makes trivial things not matter.

Looking forward to

A Doors Tribute band at the end of December.

One open question

How can I readily update this /now page? Maybe like a github workflows .yml file that is basically a questionnaire. That’d be cool. Update 2hrs later - I did it. We’ll see how it runs October 1st!

Something I recommend

My friend Tim started a podcast with his friend revolving around Andy Griffith show episodes. The chemistry and dialogue between them is great. Check it out.

Read my notes on Cheers

I watched the first episode and instantly fell in love. The chemistry among characters is great and natural. No wonder the show lasted as long as it did. I think Frasier is connected somehow too, but haven't gone into understanding that connection more.

Current favorite song

Moon Chamber

Catalog release

A song that keeps me from waking up to reality.

The current thread

I first discovered this song in late 2022. I really like it a lot. Something about it is nostalgically sentimental. Like a deja vu song that would've been heard during my childhood. It's a shame this group is no longer together putting out music.
