Looking West on Margaret Street on Saint Paul, Minnesota’s East Side
A little fog this morning
My Posts are Full of Errors Because
I know. I know. The reason why my chats and emails and posts all seem the same is hurry. First, I’m usually writing in a browser (as I am now), instead of a proper text editing tool. I don’t have a workflow more sophisticated than Get The Idea Out And Hit Send ™. Secondly, while I do one or more cursory re-reads, I’m operating from what I know I intended to write, which is often different than how my fingers hit the keys, and different still from assumptions that autocorrection tools make.
Identity and a Kind of Answer to a Question
A long time ago, I spent time with my mom in research libraries looking at microfilm and microfiche, looking for records proving lineage. On one side of the tree we were building were real and true blood ties. On the other, the lineage of the man who adopted me as his own and gave me his family’s name. I grew up in a blended family. Both sides contain some of the best humans I have ever known.
Happy Christmas to all! And to all a good night!
Then he got an idea. An awful idea. The Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea!

The Venn diagram of the music I like and the music any other human likes will have some narrow overlap. My experience tells me you would rather tell me about the music you like. Anything I share in return is too weird. There a very few individuals who are as curious as I am. I adore them.
Guy Is Re-Exposed to 90s Electronic Music and Ruminates (The Continuing Re-Rip Project Saga)
I’ve talked a lot about how music is a time-travel machine. Today what hit me while working The Re-Rip Project and the compilations of various EDM genres is how long I spent preferring electronic music at 120 BPM or faster. For about 15 years it was my thing. It seemed like a reasonable place to end up after listening to 80’s synth-pop, and a little Acid House, New Beat and Industrial.
I’m confused. If I meet the requirements to generate a passkey, why do I also need to enter a one-time password or confirm in an app on another device?
