The waves were inconsistent but in the best way. They made space for me to take some photos. And I joined the coffee Zoom of a friend. Yes, I joined a Zoom call from the water. It was nice. Camaraderie is worth seeking out, even digitally, even in the water. Loneliness, disaffection, dislocation, disconnection are everywhere. And we need each other—human connection—more than ever. It’s a time of great misery and injustice and there’s much work to do. Let’s get to it, in kindness.

The Demand of Grief
I will mourn those who I feel grief over. You can’t demand I mourn. You may request basic respect for the dead. You can’t demand I respect a legacy I find invidious. You can’t demand I ignore the words of the dead. If you can demand my feelings and thoughts be “correct,” you are authoritarian.

I started the day by making tasty corn muffins and the day somehow got better still.

Etha-Editing
At #IndieWeb HWC yesterday we ran VS Code w/”Live Share” plugin. In a few minutes 5 of us wrote a web page. Surveillance tech is an enshittified anti-labour mess but tools—the means of production—to pamphleteer and agitate and samizdat and protest are in our hands. Websites. James wrote about it in Collaborative web weaving

Productively Miscellaneous
My cousin, who I wrote about recently, has been discharged. This is the best and most significant news for my circle lately. I have been listening to CMAT lately. I first started listening when I came across Jamie Oliver Petrol Station and now EURO-COUNTRY is on heavy rotation for me. It apparently has stopped a...

Red vs Blue
There’s a line in Clueless from the character Dan Hedaya plays: “You divorce wives, not children” Well, every situation is different and I’ve not been as good a step as Mel Horowitz was. But I am still filled with good feeling and every best wish for those kids. It was great to see Tony last...

NOMAD
On August 16, I attended Connect + Reflect: A CreativeMornings Mixer and I really enjoyed it. It was co-hosted by Head of Community at CreativeMornings, Exa Kutler and FieldTrips Team Member Lauren Deborah. I am usually on the… obstinate side when it comes to writing prompts. The structure was great. Rather than a single giant...

TRUMP DON’T SURF
In San Clemente California TRUMP DON’T SURF is as spitting as insult as I can possibly imagine. 2018 2019 Vietnam draft dodger Trump ain’t no LTC Kilgore anyway.

Was fun to watch the lifeguards handle small situations today. Water colder. Good day. Progress on many fronts.

It got on my radar during an art crawl a few years ago. About Ojo Creativo Rafael Rios photographs tintype images. These are not kitsch. And...

Mixtape Spruce-Ups
I spruced up my mixtape lists. The earliest dates to 1984. 14 yr old-me who cared a great deal about the levels, taped stuff from the radio and from my uncle’s record collection. I was only chewed out about messing with the tonearm balance once. I’m still making mixes. See them all at artlung dot...

OB this morning I got an early start and it was good. A surfer asked me if he had gotten under the lip of his wave. I told him he had. My new role: “tube ref.”

Was in the water with surfers genuinely supporting each other. It’s most often groups of girls or women that are most positively affirming. Good to be adjacent to that energy today. Onward!

Rubble, Volcano, Iceberg
In July my cousin had an accident that landed her in an ICU. Her parents and husband have coordinated family to be present for her 24/7. We are a large enough family that we can do this. I have been present for her for several sessions now. At the beginning, she did not recognize me....

I hit OB for some small waves today before visiting the hospital. My cousin is there. It’s great to see progress and healing. There’s never any guarantees in life. We take it a day at a time. Hour at a time. And again, and again.

Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, shifted to the context of a lady football (soccer) team? YES. When I heard the premise I was skeptical but the @thequeensmenproductions 100% nailed it at the show today at @trinitytheatrettc ~ so glad @hellokellykuhl and I attended before it closed. Beware the ides of March. ⚽️🎭🔪

I enjoy it when I’m deferring to a surfer taking off from the lineup and they beg off, giving me the go ahead to ride the wave. Happened today and yesterday.

Infinite Canvas, Finite Viewport
This is a post in response to Eric Meyer‘s post Infinite Pixels which takes some trouble to play with calc and Infinity and what those actually work out to in the real world. Infinity is one of those math ideas that also has fanciful implications. And since I learned about it some months ago they’ve...

I went to OB this morning and had fun. I can feel the summer winding down. I’ve not posted to IG lately in favor of other platforms, including my own website. And the world… well, it’s a difficult time for so many right now. There’s so much misery: much of it inflicted by terrible and often venal leadership. Be good to yourself, and be good to others. Participate in the government you’re a citizen of. You are the people. And the people have power.

This past weekend I attended an HTML Day event and made some web pages. That was online. But around the world, people gathered in person to write HTML – from all skill levels. I think that’s beautiful. html.energy is magic. And I’ve added it to my “toys” page. Shoutout to Zachary Kai, who organized the...
