Blew my teen students' minds by showing them some computer animated films done on a machine with 4K resolution...in 1978.
Whippersnappers.
Otherwise, I'm just concentrating on teaching the youngbucks at TeenTix this month, talking about performing art, writing thoughtfully, and stuff and things. So there's my update for those who care to know. Oh yeah. I'm in a big art book as part of the largest exhibit of African American art in the PNW. I guess.
Gonna try to hangout with @craigmaloney in the next week or so, depending on my teaching schedule. I'm sure we can cover free software, RSS, Jono Bacon, the effects of ambient noise, and eight years of over 200 metal music podcasts in, say, thirty minutes or so.
I see Mastodon remains the same as ever, like a MONO song.
If the choice is between energetic, well-intentioned but foolish do-gooders, and gutless, highly intelligent but ignorant cynics, I'm siding with the do-gooders. Every. Time.
The ACLU's Mobile Justice app isn't available in Washington state yet. We gotta get on that. https://www.aclu.org/issues/criminal-law-reform/reforming-police-practices/aclu-apps-record-police-conduct?redirect=feature/aclu-apps-record-police-conduct
#seattle and area dancers or dance-curious; I host an open-role social ballroom dance, Broadway Waltz, and this Friday the 16th is the next one. Free lesson for *total beginners* from 7:20-8. Dancing 8-10. No partner needed, we dance with each other. Details at www.broadwaywaltz.com.
Chilling in the Sky View Observatory at Columbia Center, even though it's not open...because I can.
I will be the first "teaching artist" for the new TeenTix program here in #seattle. Apparently they trust me to teach ten 13-17 year-olds how to write about art and stuff. Little do they know...
Let the chaos begin.
I'd promote people's #mastoart a lot more enthusiastically if they'd release their work with a Creative Commons or art libre license. Indeed I have a magazine dedicated to just such things.
Dear #Mastodon #Fediverse, anyody has a Linux box in Belarus? We are informed that a certain website is being blocked there and we want to investigate how.
Please boost, we need your help.
Much appreciated.
My torrent share ratio was temporarily in danger of dropping below 3:1. Fixed that immediately. This will not stand, man, this unchecked regression.
I actually got a wi-fi connection on a RapidRide bus. Definitely time to play Lotto.
I am doing a thesis on #crowdfunding, trying to differentiate #motivations of sponsors going for the project-based model (#Kickstarter and #Indegogo) and subscription model (#Patreon and #Drip).
If you would like to have a summary of the #thesis at the end of the #research I would be happy to oblige. It would be a great #help if you could take part in the survey and share it with others
It takes at most 5 minutes to complete

Bumping the Creative Commons music concert with visual art at The Vera Project RIGHT NOW. Four events this month now for @theseattlestar, and no sign of slowing down.
Also, I apparently missed a #seattle Mastodon meetup last weekend. Bummer.
This is why I'm not more popular, I suppose, but fuck it.
Apparently I put together a concert bill of electronic music with all queer/trans artists of color. I didn't think to use this as a selling point, because I honestly didn't think about it. They rock; that should be sufficient.
Last night we rocked the second Creative Commons mixed arts event from @theseattlestar this month in #seattle. Poetry games + improvised music last night, with collaborative work created on the spot, and by email, and by deposit box. 10 presenters, 5 actors = beautiful chaos.
Next up: visual art gallery + music mixer at The Vera Project this Friday the 16th. Exhausted, yet I can hardly wait to host.
