After replacing the case, I have officially Ship of Theseus’d my entire computer build, which started in 2009. Still running same Debian install that started in 2011. An extension of the self.

Just got a new robot vacuum + mop and let me tell you, watching it has become a new favorite activity.

Currently reading: Amusing Ourselves to Death.

Does anyone have a good media studies or popular volume on the loss of common culture in light of algorithmic feeds and streaming?

Spending my evenings lately with the DK + Smithsonian’s The American Revolution: A Visual History. Incredible volume, full color, was like $20.

One thing that is always striking and underemphasized is how long Independence was:
1765 Stamp Act
1776 war begins
1783 war ends
1789 Constitution enacted

Currently reading “Beyond Data: Reclaiming Human Rights at the Dawn of the Metaverse” (2023). While the title already feels aged, the message of refocusing our legal framework to human-centered privacy is much needed.

Started my sourdough journey over the break. This is loaf 2. The kiddo says it is “the best bread I’ve ever had in my life.” Oma concurs.

Lots of unique baking challenges at 5000’ in the low humidity of the high desert. Have gotten a lot better at balancing. #DHcooks
