Related to that prior post, take a look at this video/audio toybox, Xorberax Visualizer. How fun is that? 🔗
Sometimes these folks get to be a little much, but it is true that Poolsuite FM is an inspiration for what we’re doing with Good Enough. I think each week or two I’ll try to share other inspirations. These may be things found in the past or things just discovered that same day.
Victor Wooten is amazing and this is amazing. I should have taken about five pages of notes on this interview.

🔗 These remixes by The Reflex are amazing.
🔗 Some lovely light reading while sitting in bed with COVID: About Those Kill-Switched Ukranian Tractors by Cory Doctrow.
Shawn shared this with me today. It’s amazing.
🔗 In a recent newsletter I wrote about how I gave up on the book Ducks, Newburyport, so I really feel Read Like an Artist. That post also includes this great quote:
I don’t believe in guilty pleasures…if you like something, like it.
– Dave Grohl
🔗 The Former Netflix DVD Library Is a Lost Treasure We’ll Never See Again
This does make me sad. I’ve subscribed as recently as last year, and the disc subscription (for reproduction quality reasons) is something I enjoy when I have a period of free time.
🔗 Practically Paperless with Obsidian
For those that followed along with my Obsidian questions last month, you might find the above series interesting. Tons of information!
🔗 This art was made by a computer
This is just absurdly mindblowing. I want to try it, but don’t want to get a Discord account just to get into the beta…
I love this message. I think it can go further. In my head is a reasonable person telling me how careful I need to be with my projects. How prepared I need to be for whatever inevitability. A lot of times I should say yes to that voice and never do it.
📚 Fish: a tap essay (2012) by Robin Sloan
What an interesting experiment. It has some things to say.
🔗 Unsolicited Advice to Minnesota Children by Neil Hilborn
I shouldn’t quote the whole thing because that would be inappropriate, so I’ll do something worse and excerpt a poem:
and you ingrate children of the snow
spend all your time in “classes”
learning about “things” that will teach you
nothing about ice skating on the bones
of your enemies or lighting moose
on fire or felling fir trees
Anyway, I love it!
🔗 An app can be a home-cooked meal
I am the programming equivalent of a home cook.
What an informative story about using programming to solve a problem for one’s family. Also, I do kind of want the app!
