If you had a garden in a virtual world, how do you imagine you could do stuff in your garden, that you could then use to influence a living virtual world outside your garden?
Twice a month caster.fm restarts it's free servers in the middle of the night. So I woke up this morning to no MixRemix Radio. I thought I had done something wrong until I realized it's July 1.
Anyway we're back and playing one of my favorite free culture bands, The James Quintet.
another #song I'm playing around with atm "the way you are":
you're still so small
and you're bound to fall
don't let nobody say
that you are wrong
the way you are
the way you are
you'll go so far
you'll go so far
the best of you
is still to come
the battle is though
and not easily won
the way you are
the way you are
you'll go so far
you'll go so far
@hairylarry yeah, I think harmonica would be great.
how about accordion backing, can you play that too?
chords are G C D C
would be cool if you could write a bridge. just play around with the order and see what goes best 👍
ok where should I start hosting audio streams (story readings etc.) instead of YouTube
I should set up proper podcast hosting somehow
the way I _had_ been doing things, until real life interrupted me, was simply to stream through YouTube, supply background images to my audio by various simple means, and then make up playlists for the resulting videos
it was a simple system but crude, and I want to eliminate using YouTube
if nothing else I want a better place to stream through. Ustream.tv, maybe? what do people prefer around here?
@hairylarry I don't know but I kind of got fed up with the text I suggested before so I began writing this one instead to a melody I had lying around. would you like to continue with this?
it's supposed to be addressing a school boy/girl instilling hope and confidence to go their own way

Where there are humans, there are cats and rodents. Classic co-evolution. Now I'd like to see a study correlating cat ownership with how risk-taking a society is. Did toxoplasmosis drive human exploration, cause wars and mass migrations, spreading itself and its hosts around the world?
@hairylarry
@cypnk @amphetamine
Seriously, toxoplasmosis affects the brains of rodents so that they are less risk-averse and are attracted to the smell of cats. Many cat owners also have toxoplasmosis, and it's been shown that it also makes the human hosts more careless. I haven't heard of a study about whether it makes them like cats more, but I bet it does.
@hairylarry
Yes -- "harnessing power" is literally leashing it -- "unleashing" is letting it run free!
@hairylarry Oh thanks! And thank you for previous invites and compliments.
I just do this for fun but I have been nudged to start a Patreon by some friends (so I'm looking into it but haven't yet).
I think you best know what works for the site so if anything caught your eye that fits, go ahead. :)
@hairylarry @cypnk @amphetamine Or are cats, rodents and humans all just being manipulated by toxoplasma?
