I try to save things that stir my long-dormant creative energies.
I will make a screensaver out of this. One day.
Just 33 seconds of really pretty people doing whatever. It inspires me to find pretty people and make a well-produced micro-film of them doing whatever.
Tingles the “socialization is an art form” thesis that sleeps somewhere in my brain.
“Dead wife montage”, my beloved. I wonder if I could ever be so loved.
What makes this “retro computer” video stand out is that its presentation is so… different. It's not “woa gee whiz it plays duke nukem”, it's just… a silly oddball computer being appreciated for what it is for a short while. It feels more honest than usual.
What inspired me to finally start playing an amazing game. And an amazing little piece of prose, too. Prose is one of my strengths, I think, as much as I try to poison it with short-form and non-fiction reading.
I need clothes that evoke this feeling. I need to wear this feeling.
Wonderful little collection of solid photos and blurble evoking a moment that you can't buy a ticket to.
A very cutely-styled little blog. One day I aspire to feel open enough to have something so rich. A good example of styling that is present and has a voice while also being unobtrusive.
You put the psyllium into ice water, shake and drink before it warms.
There's something amazingly wholesome about
a soft spoken kindly man in a shapeless hat
enjoying the hell out a plain baked onion.

An overview of fermentation through the lens of its integration with a sustainable life and way of thinking. Also the first place I've encountered the Japanese Nukadoko method for pickling vegetables—another one for the bucket list. If you have a good resource on the subject, get in touch with me!
These are just what I could only find on the internet. For more, see my music page.
Translation from base64: “songs for gloomys days :3”, a 30-minute fully-mixed set by 111loggedin. Feels like the first warm rain of the year coming early, in that part of spring where the mornings are still frigid.
A cool little selection of music made and arranged by Stan LePard, a composer for a lot of Microsoft-related games and products. The first track is the original Windows 98/XP installation music! It makes me feel like a magazine journalist visiting a fiberglass-decorated pavillion at some trade show or world's fair in the early 2000s… or a mall curio store clerk in the early 2010s.
Now-lost arrangement of select, mostly vocal tracks from the Silent Hill games. As implied by the title, it evoked an interesting alternate reality, and was a good, car-listenable subset of the otherwise massive catalog of music made for the series. Luckily, I replicated the arrangement before it disappeared, so here is the track listing:
All of these tracks are available on the “Silent Hill Sounds Box” box set. Good luck!
That one song from the episode of American Dad where Steve is in a boy band, sped up with an amen break and bass added. Pure crack to the right kind of brain.
