Well, I've watched all of Taskmaster UK. I don't think I'm going for the other countries, at least not for a while. In the meantime, I keep hearing the task music in my head when I'm cleaning.

I made some updates to my /uses page. Anyone else use uses pages to get inspired on what to use?
Happy new year everyone. Deep breath.
A treasure trove of works just entered the public domain. Can’t wait to see what artists do with it.
Sitting around listening to records and reading. I can’t think of a better way to spend New Year’s Day.
Year in books for 2024
A very light reading year for me, at least for books. Something I’d like to improve on in 3025.
Here are the books I finished reading in 2024.

Started reading: Sure, I'll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford 📚
I'm running an in person workshop to help empower folks to better understand the internet by building it. If you live in the NYC metro area, I'd love to see you at You Own the Internet.
Great list. 2025: Keep democracy alive. FrameLab New Year's resolutions
Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.
A well written, interesting article from Emily Gorcenski arguing that conceiving of the truth as a process instead of a fixed point is anti-fascist. You’ll need to read to the end to see the whole arc.

Went to the Museum of the Moving Image with my friend Lindsay yesterday, and got to meet a lovely new person, Janice, through the Open Streets. We got Susuru Ramen. A+, no notes.
I'm editing the final episode of Pursuit of Perfectness, and amidst all the bitter sweet emotions, all I keep hearing in my head is Scott Aukerman saying, "The world's first dingless podcast." Not relevant, and not something I heard recently. A real mental barnacle.
Currently listening to a DJ set on of Soviet funk from the 60s and 70s. Sometimes YouTube comes through. 🎵
Finished reading: Sure, I'll Join Your Cult by Maria Bamford 📚Listen to the audio book, read by the author. Absolutely fantastic.
