Safe

You are safe

While I
Watch the cliff edge crumble
Feel the flames creep closer
Slip closer
To the end
Of the rope

But you are safe

Also, please enjoy this photo of a Sony Anycast Station, the hottest portable video and audio mixing and streaming device of 2005. Delightfully chonky.

I sometimes see artists running their guitars through guitar pedals, and I'm sorry but it still sounds like a guitar.

Instead of working to reduce tech debt, let’s build software that generates tech debt automatically, in bulk!

I have signed up for a small community college program I'll talk about sometime later maybe, and it has an online component. It's been about fifteen years since I last had to deal with student-facing software for colleges, and I am sorry to say that Canvas is still absolute dogshit.

Once a friend and I were chatting and walking into a record store in Northampton, Massachusetts, when we ran into David Crosby on his way out (literally. *thump*). We didn't recognize him, hastily apologized, and then a minute or so later were like "Wait, was that David Crosby?" Yes, it was.

And when I go to work or to get groceries or whatever and bid farewell to my lady friend for a few hours or the day, I like to remind her to endure not yet a breach, but an expansion, like gold to airy thinness beat. She was an English major (but not that kind of English major) and rolls her eyes.

...ending with "I had rather owner be
of thee one hour, than all else ever."

I love it so much. There's a very thin line between overwrought and transcendent and he mopily wandered that line, sentences flying every direction, sometimes understood only when read aloud and then mostly by vibes.

O! do not die, for I shall hate
All women so, when thou art gone,
That thee I shall not celebrate,
When I remember thou wast one.

John Donne was such an obsessive emo kid, writing twisty phrases that wrapped around themselves in order to be weird about whoever he was into. 1/
