Yhdeksäs vuosipäivä artikkelista, joka julkaistiin suomalaisessa sanomalehdessä ja jossa haastateltiin minua rakkaudestani pesäpalloon. #pesis

Yeah I can't look at this feed. What a mess.

maybe for the last time (live), doing my radio show on freeformportland.org from 10-noon

it’s important to do things for your teenage self every so often, as a way of staying on speaking terms with the person you used to be

wyoming-colorado should happen more, but I didn't realize the series is 20-2, CU. that would explain why this never happens more (also both schools having the same rival probably helps in colorado state...) #cfb

My word Taylor Townsend playing doubles at BJK Cup was something www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkT7...

Too bad Etta James people didn't have Marvin Gaye's lawyers for Tennessee Whiskey

when i was in norway last week, ran into a first-gen person at this bar & she was asking me where my (grand)parents were from and I had to explain "uh, USA." and before them. "yup, still USA."

Hello, peopleos! I'm looking for work and am hopeful someone in this place can help. Here's the low-down of what I've been up to, how I can help, and yes, I will move to Ireland. :) If you don't know of anything at the moment, a quick repost is appreciated.

there will be an enduring hell to pay for the institutional hospice we live in where 20th century organizations, what Jane Jacobs called the ligaments of neighborhood life, fade dissolve or go broke because modern life offers no reward for communalism.

I was trying to imagine what the 1991 version of this would be MC Hammer in Red Square sponsored by Pepsi and "recorded live for the world?"

Bought two albums while in Oslo including Kaja Gunnufsen's 2014 LP "Faen Kaja" which was reissued last year.

Andor really did make all of this make so much more sense. Gonna rewatch Andor this winter.

On the bright side, I introduced one of my friends to one of the greatest musical inventions ever made -- japanese city pop, so all is not lost.

I assume someone's said it better but I guess there's two theories of the internet: either it's about raw information, or it's about links and connections. the first is the attitude of the current state of Google search where it tries to answer a question directly. the 2nd is what I want: sources.

years ago, i had this guy who was on my list but once we had a common adversary at work, i got to see his true character & values. it didn't forgive all the ways he made my life kind of miserable prior. but seeing his values when it came to brass tacks made me respect him a lot ( i told him that)

I wonder to what degree the US (and other places?) media and elites being plugged into online hyperreality is completely deforming the information environment to make it seem like the fascist hellworld really is the only game in town

Liim's debut record out today. His visuals have been so great, but I'm so fascinated by kids records now 17 songs, 35 minutes. The curation is so interesting, but sonically the whole album wants to be from a different era. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7sn...

For some reason, the 80s sitcoms "Small Wonder" and "Out of This World" both came to mind this week and I had to find the trailers and show them so I was sure I wasn't making them up.

Doing a workshop at the inaugural hype studies conference in Barcelona (1500 in Spain) on "hype & its disortion of the city" hypestudies.org

Always forget how much this song slaps. Swedish rock outfit Vånna Inget (from 2013) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Azuj...

Just occurred to me that Laura Veirs - Year of Meteors is 20 years old this year which...I cannot believe and yet it does feel like a very distant memory.

Along with records from 2020, nothing like boosting articles from then. Why I'm always complaining about the santiation system in Portland. Lock everyone involved in a room until there's a better solution, kthx. www.oregonlive.com/news/2021/03...

design as repair

all the "positives" that i would associate with continuing to use this website are basically on par with what a drunk would tell you the "positivies" are of drinking (the socializing, the friends at the local bar, the laughs). but it's all a mirage obscuring the deep destructive sadness

The great thing about Sherman's work to my mind is how it lays out how much work the service recipient, especially in luxury services, also has to do - clearly not equivalent in terms of labour, livelihood or dignity, but those who can, have to be taught how to demand and receive service.

gonna try to call it quits on this site. i've long known that these platforms are an addiction and a disease, and that they make me feel the way an addict feels (both amped up and emotionally hollow). doesn't matter the platform. they are all designed to make you feel like shit

keep returning to ambient interface as a design frame (cc: pavlović frame didn't take off but still has a lot of value in whatever is to come from ::points at this::)

next semester, going to make my service design studio read parts of rachel sherman's class acts, then we're going to have to take a field trip to a hotel and do a service teardown. just decided this. (last year, we went to the airport...which is very cool btw. 10/10 field trip.)

Which gives me the opportunity for my annual repost of Maggie Gram's @maggiegram.bsky.social @nplusonemag.com piece on design thinking, its origins and the troubles with its ‘saviour complex’ and sociological thinness... www.nplusonemag.com/issue-35/rev...

Mach-Hommy, El-P, Your Old Droog, Black Thought recording what sounds like a posse cut in 2020 so many records during that year got buried youtu.be/26mRTGrIe8A?...

if you create *fair* services that are sustained & well-maintained, people are willing to pay because of reliability. it also means you can afford a bit of "free rider problem" because the graft is relatively minimal.

Had never been duckpin bowling before. There was no skeeball (open) but weirdly a duckpin bowling bar with two lanes. It's kind of a perfect hybrid of skeeball & bowling. Feel like with more practice I could break 200, the techniques are sorta similar, I just need to translate my spin

the thing about debuting a talk (topic) versus one you've done before is wondering how it'll land. As a fairly extemp speaker, these are far more nerve wracking tbh.

Following the example of the portland city council, I am also on a study trip to a European capital.

Watching an Old Boiler Room set feels like it's the 90s youtu.be/zxcWCp0TORc?...

If systems are broken, why preserve them with better interfaces?

ngl the thing I was kinda most looking forward to being back in Norway was grabbing Urge. My childhood bff is from here so I have nostalgia for the candy & this soda ha

In this short piece, I lean on embodied cog sci to argue that we should refuse & resist llms in education (pp. 53-58) unesdoc.unesco.org/in/documentV... "the classroom is an environment where love, trust, empathy, care & humility are fostered & mutually cultivated through dialogical interactions"

hucksters thriving in this era who unironically call themselves technologists

SERBIA ON LYÖTY! SUOMI PUOLIVÄLIERIIN!!!!! Kaikkien aikojen koristulos Suomelle! Result: Serbia 86 - 92 Finland #SRBFIN #Eurobasket #FINLAND

Been thinking about all of this spectacle as "Luxury Venezuelanization" and can't get it out of my head.

The early radio era birthed ASCAP, BMI, and copyright law because creators were organized and labor pushed Congress to act. If the only check on water-wasting lie machines is a string of class actions in exchange for post-hoc licenses, we’re in trouble. (Spoiler: We already were)

new deftones record sounds like the other ones, but I'm generally satisfied by the predictability at this point. you can only have one "white pony" in your career imho

I feel like one of the many effects of LLMs on our industry is going to be making it really clear that the coding was never the hard part.

SI took a lot of heat for not releasing last year but I agree it's better to take a gap year. Looking forward to Football Manager this fall.

Feels weird to think of inventing a new sport as game design since most people only think of board/video games since those are more accessible. But talking to a little meeting group tonight about why it's so hard to invent new sports (since I've done it) one lf my fav topics but I rarely discuss it

The supply chain is less “rugged frontier” than a fragile civic project of ports, barges, and neighbors keeping Alaskans alive.

Looking forward to joining IxDA Oslo next Tuesday to reconsider the designer's share of the problem. In a world with fraying systems, rampant disinformation & public mechanics not built to meet the moment, what role should we play? www.ixda.no/events/stop-...

Good to see Naomi back in a GS semi-final. FAA also breaking through has been a nice surprise at this US Open. (On less buzzkill topics.)
