zine about tying the title of “artist” to your identity (1/3)

Usually me

If enough people learn how to do something, it protects those that don't know how to, this is known as nerd immunity

If anyone’s wondering what the dude who sang “chocolate rain” is up to these days, he’s dropping absolute bangers about housing and he’s fucking right

ADVANCED TACTICS: Okay, you can videoconference, but only one-on-one, and probs not more than once per six months. You only need this for short conversations where instantaneous facial expressions provide important information. Most human communication is not this. It's appropriate for performance reviews. Or if your direct report has just had a child and you need to see their tears of joy while they tell you about holding their beloved son the first time. That's the level of specialness it's on

Slack/async chat: This works very well.

"Meetings" where everyone gets in the same slack chat at the same time and it is expected everyone will be low-response-time on questions in the chat for a bit: This also works very well.

Audioconferencing (group or 2 on 2): You maybe shouldn't *default* to this, and group audioconference meetings shouldn't be an everyday thing. But this also works very well.

Videoconferencing: Just don't! Just don't do it! It's disruptive! Everybody hates it!

Here is something I honestly believe: Everyone or nearly everyone who, in the last four years, has gotten a bad impression from the "remote work" experience, it is because their workplace was doing remote work wrong.

"What do you mean by doing it wrong, Andi" I mean that they were videoconferencing. That's the secret. Don't videoconference. Don't default to videoconferencing. Don't ever videoconference at all. You don't actually hate remote work. You hate "Zoom".

do you think ikea would sue me for filling a video game world with 3d models of ikea furniture i stole from their website, or do you think they'd consider it free promotion

‪i am being told that ikea actually already publish a lot of their 3d models online for free use anyway (not sure under what license). i guess they realised it benefits them!‬

My spouse and I had a tremendous experience listening to an album straight through tonight.
A transcendent album for folks of a certain age like us.
Now, I share this album with all of you.

Presenting:
Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory - Mario 64 Edition
