Most of the furniture is accounted for. Playing around with layouts, and still got a bit of unpacking to do, mostly decorations, the main thing is still no Internet. Installation is scheduled for Tuesday! I can't wait to rejoin the 21st century! It's like living in the 90s all over again! 🤣

Sleeping in my new apartment for the first night! Still tons of unpacking to do and furniture to get, but I'm almost there! I also need to get Internet soon! 😅

So, is active listening dead? It seems to be, based on what I see these days. Everyone is always doing something else with something in their hands, distracting themselves while "listening." Just hearing my words doesn't mean you are listening. Listening is active, not passive.

Too many thoughts, not enough time to say them.

Lost 43.8 pounds over the past year. Of that, 35.8 pounds was body fat, 6 pounds was body water, and 2 pounds was skeletal muscle. It was roughly a 500-calorie deficit. Dieting isn't hard; it just isn't fun. It's just basic math, consistency, and strict discipline.

I'm going to really try to have this done within the next week, as I'll be moving soon. What needs to be done is mostly legal things (terms of service and privacy policy) and a (few back-end/administrative finishes). The vast majority of everything else is done. #CodexProcess

I have officially gotten the finances settled. A week of crunching numbers and many headaches later, I have made it possible via what can only be described as a complete metamorphosis of my finances. Going to pay the rent, deposit, utilities, etc... next week. Then the dreaded moving... *shudders*

Been trying to reach an old friend for over a month, but they have an agency now. It's ironic because I'm the one who recommended an agency once and now it's being used against me. At this point, I have a better chance of reaching them by sending a message in a bottle or shouting into the wind...

"Adjusted for inflation" is one of the most annoying phrases today. People use it to justify prices, ignoring that wages haven't kept up with inflation despite rising costs. Stop talking about inflation and start talking about purchasing power. The actual important metric.

Might finally get to move out of my parents place next month after having to move back in a few years ago. Not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but I'm cautiously hopeful.

The website is still in the works, but it'll be finished soon. The finish line is in sight. #CodexProcess

Sam Altman, the CEO of the AI company that started all this crap, literally has the last name Altman. Alternative Man. Alternative Man is pushing AI, and the irony of the company being called OpenAI despite being closed source. Can't make this stuff up. The jokes write themselves.

Diced onions, diced tomatoes, diced peppers, mushrooms, and olives. It's a texture thing. Things like that are like eating worms or bugs to me. That little bit of resistance on the outside then *gush*. I have force-fed myself those for years and still cannot get used to how they feel in my mouth.

Josh Hokit - Racist and Sexist apparently

I swear the United States Marine Band keeps playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Theme song at the UFC Freedom 250 Event lmao Whatever orchestra they keep playing sounds very close to it lol

Xbox said that RAM and Storage prices will increase by over 500% for the holiday season in 2027. Versus 200% earlier this year, and 400% since that. That $400 RAM I had to buy isn't sounding as bad knowing in a year it'll be like $600... (he says while crying knowing a year ago it was like $110).

I want to make some art, it's been so long 🥲

Website for the #CodexProcess is coming along well. Still quite a bit of work to do, but it's really starting to come together. It doesn't help that I keep giving myself more work by insisting on the most granular, transparent data possible for the analytics section. 🫠

It's Tuesday and I don't have tacos...

For those wondering:

A dog and his stick

Can engineers who design phones please create a phone that someone wants to hold? I swear, each year the latest phones somehow get thinner, taller, and narrower. Honestly, it seems like they just open an image of the previous model in Photoshop and stretch it vertically for the design.

head empty, life good

They pulled back on this and pretended this was always going to be the case. This means nothing for the future. They pushed the envelope forward with this. The mechanism now exists and it's being normalized. This will eventually move from one-time to periodic to stricter enforcement altogether.

Paper 14 is now published. This completes the Expansion Arc. #CodexProcess zenodo.org/records/1987...

PlayStation updated their terms of service and I happened to read what was updated and it's shady as fuck. They're basically forcing you to sign a binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver to use your account and their services.

The Codex Process: Collapse, Isolation, & Junctions Collapse is not destruction. It is continuity isolating what redistribution can no longer preserve. Black holes, singular regimes, and information loss are reframed accordingly. #CodexProcess zenodo.org/records/1967...

My plans on working on anything went out the window this past week been dealing with puppy stuff and have literally had no spare time. Barely enough time to eat much less make art or work on my game. Sorry everyone. Maybe this week. Help is coming to ease the load, so hope is on the horizon.

The Codex Process: Expansion After Geometry Expansion is not motion through a container. It is relational geometry redistributing accessibility under closed continuity. #CodexProcess zenodo.org/records/1956...

Apple's terms of service get more regular maintenance than the Constitution.

Nothing good can happen, it can only bad happen.

The Codex Process: Space After Constraint Paper 11 derives space from relation rather than treating it as a container. Geometry is not before relation. It is what persistent relation becomes once continuity stabilizes it. zenodo.org/records/1944... #CodexProcess

I am more interested in seeing how human cells handle the radiation of space, particularly since it's the bone marrow. Then I am for the flight and the moon itself. That's the make-or-break for every space plan past the moon and has implications for medical research.

Numbers don't lie, people do.

Paper 10 of The Codex Process is now published: The Codex Process: External Time & Closed Continuity The Expansion Arc begins here. #CodexProcess doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Angewomon is already in my INPRINT store! www.inprnt.com/gallery/lera...

Historical quotes are often just people no longer currying favor with comfort.

Paper 10 will be published within the next few hours.

I’ve been working on another piece for a while, going through different concepts. The idea stems from one word: Isolation. That’s what I want the work to embody, feel, and communicate. I’m struggling to capture it in a way I’m satisfied with. Sharing so you know I’m working on something.

The bleak is often accurate, because truth is no longer playing dress up.

Woe are they who use language by its literal definitions. Not because they are wrong, but because they are few.

Never do half a job and leave with a full smile.

Did we really need a study? If people experience depression then it's real. I bet the study was basically: “Sad? ☐ yes ☐ no”

Had to bust the driver's side rear passenger window out to get in my own vehicle because my dog was inside it. The locksmith couldn't get here in time and there was no other way to get inside in time. The driver's door lock malfunctioned. My dog is fine. My vehicle, bank account, and I are not 🥲

Crimson Desert is the exact type of game that critics hate and hardcore gamers love. Calling it now, this is going to be seen as a cult classic in a decade. It's got that energy to it clunky, janky, and versatile. It's a gamer's game.
