Notes

Reading Haruki Murakami's "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" and just discovered that he decided to write his first novel on a whim, then did it within about two seasons and submitted it. Just like that. I aspire to that level of decisiveness and swiftness. Legendary.

I have observed that usually most of my big blunders happen when I take myself too seriously

I'm reading Italo Calvino's "Six Memos for the Next Millenium" & I've found myself wanting to highlight almost every sentence. Calvino's become one of my favorite writers. I hope I can write with the substance, depth, and lightness he does one day

I'm reading Ed Catmull's 'Creativity, Inc' and what I like about it most is how he doesn't gloss over mistakes. I think my dream is to have a production studio telling stories with new tech and creative people. I am terrified & excited by the idea

Okay, I'm going to shift gears for a while and focus on #writing and #XR Development more. I've been too focused on web stuff and, even though I love web technology, @cdbaca@indieweb.social's blog post made me remember my site is a place to put my stories and projects. Don't put tool > craft

I'm really glad that a lot of people have been joining #Mastodon because distributed social networks which emphasize close connection are undoubtedly much healthier for us than centralized algorithm driven social networks. Infrastructure dictates much of our lives -- and social network infrastructure is core to the culture. I think things like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc... have done a lot of damage to culture on a structural level

This is a test note! I'm using #indieweb principles to POSSE from my website to other services like Mastodon and maybe Twitter :)
