Can’t believe this book is 16 years old already. But Egan’s fragmented examination of angst, ambition, and redemption holds up surprisingly well, all things considered.

Can confirm. I’ve done this a few times without any bylines or projects attached to my name (just my own curiosity) and still had 100% success.
Both wolves are pretty well fed, tbh. They live in relative harmony.
A cropped screenshot of the author’s bandcamp collection. It shows 6 purchased albums: - Pile: Sunshine and Balance Beams - Mitski: Nothings About to Happen to Me - Bill Orcutt: Music for Four Guitars - Bill Orcutt: Another Perfect Day - Bill Orcutt: Music in Continuous Motion - Black Cross Hotel: Songs for Switches
Inside of me are two wolves. One of them whispers that I should spend my time collecting every experimental guitar album that Bill Orcutt has put out. The other immediately pre-orders every Mitski album.
A project I've been involved with the past few years is almost done, but it needs funding to get over the hump.
I'm physically incapable of fundraising, so instead I wrote up a brief post about what it is and why it would great if you threw the project a few dollars.

It’s one of fate’s rare gifts that, while spending a semi chaotic morning with my wife and son, I can look into my wife’s eyes and say “I missed my chance, Jerry!” and she knows exactly what I mean.
Vintage magazine cover of BYTE showing a decorative, furniture-like home computer on a wooden table, surrounded by elegant household items (wine glass, gloves, pearls, remote). The screen displays the text “MADAM: DINNER IS SERVED,” with the caption “Domesticated Computers.”

A picture of a book pulled from a thrift store shelf. It bears the sublime title “High School Musical The Musical The Series Novelization”
A perfectly ouroboric piece of media. Can’t wait for the film adaptation.
I wake up from fitful sleep. Cold flop sweat beads on my temples. There’s only one thought running through my mind:
“Beep, beep, beep went the little blue truck.”
No one prepares you for your toddler forcing you to read random books so much they become spectral texts that stalk you through your dreams.
No better time to get started on Preterism 2.0
i remember when the computer still demanded blood. my dad's Tandy took a mere pinprick from your finger, which was a revolutionary advancement from the bulky machines of the 80's that required a thimbleful to access usenet for a day. that itself was an improvement on the pint needed to join ARPANET
Going to start remaking hit songs with more direct language. Be on the lookout for my forthcoming Britney Spear’s cover: “Impress upon me that you care once again”
Bruce Lee’s bruised knees bashed a bundle of bumbling bandits.

Please, I am begging you, do not tell AI to translate for you. Do not just use a translate button on languages you can't read. Please ask a human being to help you. Machine translations are often close enough on a sentence level but that is NOT good enough for anything you take seriously.
A recipe for Swedish Christmas Rice (Risgehnsgröt) submitted to a clearly aged communal cookbook by Mrs. Karl Slartman. Recipe is as follows: 1 C. rice 1 t. salt 2 T. butter 2 T. sugar 1 C. water few blanched almonds 5 C. milk stick of cinnamon Using double boiler, add rice to salted boiling water and butter. Boil 10 to 15 min. or until water disappears. Add the milk, sugar and cinnamon stick. Boil slowly until rice is tender.
Merry Christmas to everyone, but especially to Mrs. Karl Slartman who submitted this never fail rice pudding recipe that keeps me company every year.
Someone who keeps believing the local crockpot’s prophesies? That’s a seer sucker.
Gotta say, not a bad note to end on.
Finished up what will likely be my last full read of the year today.
