Of course the only image that’d make a lick of sense for post # 366 would be of Roby, the most momentus person, experience, surprise, pleasure, new friend, adventure, learning experience, glimpse into the divine, of our last year.

By this time next year it’s unlikely she’ll be talking, but she might just be walking. She’ll have spent her first summer farting about the yard while mom gardens and dad builds...something. A sauna I’m thinking. A sauna and a deck. I’ve got to move my shop into the garage, too. 

I wonder if by the time she’s able to hold a drill I’ll believe myself to have a handle on this house and this property. Right now the list of things to do is longer than both my arms, and it’s in small handwriting.

This time last year I was hustling to get this website sorted and live. I had inclinations towards the same today, I wanted to get things recorded, the new squarespace up, but when you’ve got an 81 day old baby they’re a lot more interesting than audiophile work, at least to me.

I also learned what an audio controller is, and that I don’t have one. So my microphone’s over here collecting dust and listening to literal waves in the air. But it’s good, it gives me time to think about what’s worth talking about. Clothes I think, they might be worth thinking about. Heck, that decides it. Episode one’ll be about garments and how to understand them in a post Gibson world. 

The article The Limits of Authenticity found me at an influential time shortly after I finished reading Pattern Recognition and before I started playing Sindome. After I had read Glenn Adamson’s The Craft Reader and before I had my own woodshop and could honestly explore the notions within it.

Anyhow, I think that’s what I’ll ramble on about. The question’s how personal to keep it, how rambly. As stream of consciousness as this blog? I like it so far if I’m being honest. It’ll take a bit more research, more planning, more scripting, less off the dome in my future I expect. 

The two podcasts I like most right now are The Blindboy Podcast by Blindboy and Tetragrammaton with / by Rick Rubin. The former is generally one compelling person speaking about things he knows a fair bit about. The latter is about a compelling person speaking with other compelling people about things they know a fair bit about. I might have thought that the former guy’d be good at the latter, but his interviews are kind of a drag if you ask me. I haven’t heard any monogloues from Rick Rubin, maybe they’re great, but maybe they aren’t. My guess is that you’re either a monologue guy or an interview guy. You can be good at both but I think one’s the ticket, really, at least for to focus on. 

Just gotta get this dang mic working anyways...
