astral projection time again

Okay so confession time: I said it was gateway tapes season and then I haven't done it. Yep. Because I finally came up with an art + writing + code + engineering + music + gaming schedule that works, and obviously I am not going to mess with gym or my runs.  I'm also not quite  sleeping enough, but working on that.  But, during my 15-minute break for meditation and such, I'm starting over to read The Phase by Michael Raduga again, usually while on a walk outdoors (if it's nice) or on my vibration plate (if it's not).  If I'm going to do the gateway tapes, Sunday morning is the only  time, and this can be complicated if I have an early choir rehearsal. I have to basically be in bed by 10, up by 6:30 or 7, and that gives me around 40 minutes for a tape before I have to start getting ready for church.  That means I have to get to bed by 10 instead of 11 though. And I keep getting to bed at 11. Which, in turn, means that all coding must be done before dinner, s...

I do not "do everything"

Tired of having that label. 1. I am a theme park enthusiast. Imagine putting together a Disney adult with some NERD who can talk your ear off about stats while going up the lift hill of Steel Vengeance.  2. I am from 2010s DeviantArt. You know the type. Not the weird stuff that's prominent on there now. Instead, I just like creative pursuits: art/writing/music mixed with a technical edge: coding and cyber/IT. Just picture a digital artist who also writes novels, games, coded their own online portfolio, and maybe is in a symphonic band. There is nothing groundbreaking about this.  Lots of people do it.  3. I do hybrid athletics. Legitimately just working out. Everyone should be doing this.  Easy.

today's lyrics

Many people think I'm odd But I talk with no one and I walk alone  ... I try to smile a lot but I'm always fronting But I do love a ghost and at least that's something... I hate that you leave when the lights come on And if I had it my way, the fucking sun would be gone  - ICP

It's steroids, geniuses

It's not the freaking covid vaccine. This is why I am disappointed in the lockdown skeptic community. I will always be against lockdowns. I will never be against vaccines.  It's also not "chemtrails". Seriously? People actually unironically believe that? 😂  This is like flat earthers. Legit thought they were all trolling until my aunt in Texas apparently became one. Excuse me? Blame gym culture.  Blame the MPMD crowd who calls people "small" and "victim weight" and says "abs on a skinny guy are like big boobs on a fat chick, they don't count" (gross, gross, gross, I hated that I even typed that). Blame the NOJ crowd who thinks that any halfway decent physique is impossible without injecting hormones into your caboose. Embarrassing.  Choo choo, mfers.

Esri facts that you didn't know (!!!)

If you are using an OFFLINE area, and you  1) update an attribute rule in Pro, and  2) restart your service, and 3) SYNC that offline area,  It will pick up the newly updated attribute rules live. You don't have to download a new area if you don't want to.  There. That's a thing you know now.

I don't know why I keep spinning on this

I do have "just-right" OCD though, so this could be a symptom.  But I keep thinking about what I did in undergrad:  Major: CS Animation Minors: Math, Creative Writing What I wish I had done:  Major: CS Animation, but the modern version which has more actual art courses based on the catalog Second Major: Mechanical Engineering Minors: Math, Creative Writing, Cybersecurity Would've minored in Design too if BYU hadn't nuked it out of orbit and if my advisor had actually been nice and reasonable to those of us who actually want to work hard OR also minored in physics if I couldn't double I'm not sure why I spin on this when undergrad is DONE. I am now mentally in my OWN school, doing it right this time. My own curriculum is BUILT and in-progress. So, it shouldn't bother me, and yet, it does.  What I also wish I had done:  Taken that Universal Creative internship  The regret for that  was almost erased by DreamWorks because TDs technically could be assigned...

Brandon Sanderson: We Are the Art

Exactly how I feel on the matter. Brandon and Monika Zagrobelna are the two artists who capture my view on it perfectly. This one is a very encouraging video and I'd 100% recommend watching if you're worried about genAI.  I like using genAI as a chatbot and assistant, like a pair programmer, and that's it. I will never have it generate art or writing for me. Code, only as an assistant or if I'm at work. This video explains why.
