So this morning I invited myself to an interview. I uploaded my speech to Otter Ai. A new door has opened. I’m capable of writing and expressing my thoughts, but can often find it hard to put down to paper my ideas for a funding statement in the way I find as lucid when spoken.

Everyone loves a fuzzy warble!

Ah. Then thank you, I stand corrected and ashamed. Frames of reference in action!

Stolen once, stolen twice

Beautiful. Did you ever see David Lynch’s photographs of same?

Solid

Thank you, Tristan. I’m so glad to read this message and to have you reading all my Journals. It means so much to know it resonates.

Excellent!

Well, that's a first. My quote post of a Techmeme post with my commentary ended up on the front page of the website. 😳

One of my oldest, and indeed most prominent of memories (also a crucible moment) is the use of a pencil. Very briefly recalled in my next journal. To this day I remain positively transfixed by them. I have very limited use of pens.

Some of my most prominent discoveries have been made in libraries!

Thank you, Michael. Really appreciate that!

You appear to be unable to write.

You may as well fuck off.

I instantly figured out I had no respect or like for you.

Wait until you read what music distributors are attempting to do
