My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.

  • Hypnospace Outlaw: This game is so lovingly crafted and full of amazing goofs. The world it hands you is so wonderful to just explore and poke around that I pretty much immediately forgot about the core mechanic of being a narc, which I think is probably its weakest link.

  • Exhalation by Ted Chiang: Another really good collection of stories from Chiang. A lot of these toss you into a completely bizzare world and only explain a very narrow slice of it in a way I really enjoy.

  • The soundtrack to every 3DO golf game by T&E Soft: I cannot believe how hard these all shred. Having looked up some footage of these games being played it is comical how boring they look compared to how slammin' they sound.

  • i spent the whole summer playing video games by leon chang: Hard to believe that a fresh and interesting take on "lofi beats" could exist in 2023, but if anyone was gonna do it it's Leon. This album is really nice in more than just a "flavored white noise" way.

  • Posy on e-ink displays: This guy, who I would desribe as a "display nerd," makes some of the most visually engrossing Youtube videos on the scene. I did not know how those paperlike displays worked and would not have guessed, and the hyper-macro shots in this video are amazing to look at.

  • Dot's Homestyle Pork Rinds: Salt, MSG and garlic powder are an absolutely unstoppable seasoning trio. I know these are kind of expensive but check 'em out.

  • Ways of Being by James Bridle: I've barely started this book and it's already rewiring my brain in insane ways. Bridle theorizes that "non-human intelligence" is already all around us--in animals, machines, plants--and that we just don't see it because our methods of "proving" something is "intelligent" are so poorly defined.

  • Turner's Lime Tea Cooler: Damn these are good. Just drank one on my way back from the store and I'm refreshed as hell. Check it out if you can get Turner's.

well! see you next time!
