“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; re-made all the time, made new. When it was made, they lay in each other’s arms, holding love, asleep.”

Paste Magazine listed Castle In The Sky as one of the best electronic albums in 2022.

Brooklyn Rail interviewed Becca and included some nice words on Castle In The Sky:

I run Mac OSX version 10.14 (Mojave) because some audio software I use doesn’t support newer versions. Unfortunately, that version of OSX is now deprecated by Docker Desktop leaving luddites in the dark.

It turns out you can still run a Docker daemon via colima.

All you need to do is:

$ brew install colima docker # install dependencies
$ colima start --runtime docker # start the docker runtime
$ docker ps # check that its running
$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.11.2/docker-compose-darwin-x86_64 \
$   -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # download appropriate docker-compose binary from github
$ chmod +x  /usr/local/bin/docker-compose # make it executable
$ docker-compose # check that this worked

Now you can use docker-compose on it’s own!

What a surreal experience playing for nearly 2000 people at Brooklyn Steel.

Here are some clips Becca compiled:

Rivers Cuomo learning to code is the perfect encapsulation of the millennial experience.

A well-preserved version of the formerly “cat’atonic” nytimes.cat is now available on the Internet Archive.

I’m pleased to present my first collection of NFTs: A series of images generated by passing “Mark Zuckerberg NFT” into Dall-E 3.

While I have a general distrust of all crypto-adjacent art, my long fascination with the lizardly face of Mark Zuckerberg led me to inevitably put his name as a prompt into one of the new AI-art generators.

What resutled was equal parts horror and amazement:

When I finally submitted “Mark Zuckerberg NFT” as a prompt, I was amazed at how the algorithm captured both the stylized neon glow of many digital collectibles as well as the disgustingness of Mark Zuckerberg.

I thought this to be true “art”, worthy of a permanent place on the blockchain. Now they can be yours for the low, low price of 0.1 ETH.

I’ve started skateboarding with Ashley. She seems intent on trying to bite my shoes the whole time but somehow, with the right speed and length of leash, we’re able to sync up and glide down the street together.

Becca compiled some great footage from our show at Bard College on 9/8/2022. It was their first official party of the year and everyone went hard 🥵. Zenizen played a beautiful set that night as well!
