The inevitable result of what we do today – annie’s blog
Sometimes (okay a lot of the time) (okay all the time) I don’t know what to do. Today or any day. There are both too many options and not enough. Out of all these possibilities, how can I find the ones that are doable and actually helpful?
I guess I can start with doable and go from there.
This is the way.
My wife with a nice write up and plenty of photos of seeing (and hosting) Bandits on The Run last night.
Music is a gift.
My wife writes and posts plenty of pictures of our recent reboot of one of the bathrooms at our Summit Ave house.
She also provides an episode link to the DIY reality show we were on several years back.
Daring Fireball: Denis Villeneuve to Direct Next James Bond Film
This feels like one of those things where if you pick the right director it almost doesn’t matter who the next Bond is.

Things Jesus taught – annie’s blog
As I witness the rise of Christianese in our political culture — specifically, as I witness the use of Christian terminology to defend illegal, inhumane, and immoral behaviors — I feel that we all need a mini-refresher course on the actual teachings of Jesus.
I come from a family of preachers. I have read and studied the bible deeply. This includes many of the non-canonical gospels, early christian writings, and scholarship of historical accounts of Jesus written by those in or near his lifetime…
This is an important reminder
Surrendering to the surface — Robin Sloan
No big deal … except that this video is a presentation, an incantation, that wants to celebrate deep taste and deep skill. It wants also to celebrate San Francisco — the city’s extraordinary qualities! But the terrible coffee gives it away.
Love this.
AI: How/Why I Use It | Mike Doughty on Patreon
We can do something with AI right now that we won’t be able to do in 10 years—or rather we can get something from AI: the truly uncanny.
As AI develops, that hair-raising freakishness will get refined out. And it’ll just be boring.
Another way to think about AI as an artist. Pairs well with some of Robin Sloan’s thinking in his last zine.
I really am not trying to be a Yay for AI Bro here. I just believe the thinking needs to beyond the binary.
It’s a tool. It’s here. It’s not going away… Now what?
