Good morning, itās actually around eleven so really this is kinda lunchtime over here right now, Iāve had a very slow morning, some could say time travelled a little bit to get here but I made it in one piece and Iām happy about that, just got my second cup of coffee on the go.
Iāve been struggling with creative overload a little this morning, so many strands, with what feels like so little time which is really just my brain screaming at me to start and get into a flow. Iām gonna fix that by putting some vapourware on and getting this coffee down me.
Itās crazy to me at the moment that everyday seems to come with another barrage on information that as humans we should be aware of or keep up with, itās really a lot. Finally I think trump has kinda conceded without saying so and the transition team can move forward, feels like progress but I know the dude aināt gonna give up because itās just in his nature. Nobody likes to lose I guess.

Struggling to get the temperature right in here today, put a shirt on, Iām too hot, have the hot setting on the fan heater at two and thatās not enough, Iām in a constant back and forth with regulating my body temps, coffee supply and sustenance, I feel like Iām in my own vanilla sky. Itās tiring, but Iām good, you know?
I did get a bunch more samples out last night from some of those open source, royalty free tracks and I think they work pretty well, I know you were not fussed so much about audio on them but it just helps me get into a vibe. Hopefully Iāll have some to show you today and you can use them on twitter and Pinterest between now and the end of the holidays.
Lockdown officially finishes next week, but it appears that a lot of places, businesses will still be in a tiered system, I donāt know where that leaves us all personally and so Iām just getting stuck into things while I have these extra days to do things ā you know everything changes on a dime these days anyway, just flexing with it.
Did a geek bench test this morning to see what this machine could do compared to the new m1 chip laptops, seems that one of those would be twice as fast on the main core cpu and 3x times faster on multicore ā that seems both insane but also dream worthy, I mean, thatās all in a portable package as well, I bet video editing and making/streaming on it is a dream ā itās a goal right now.
I think cryptos are on the edge of exploding, the new eth2.0 got itās allocation of āfundingā as such last night so thatās something to look forward too, crazy price for ETH right now (fees also high) but I see it going higher, if they can get those fees down and eth2.0 whatever that is becomes better they could be seriously off to the races, not sure they could ever be BTC prices but still could be high, I fully expect to it at $1000 in the next month. Iād be surprised if it was not.
Hmm, what else to tell you, tiktok, wow, like itās so damn additive, I think I knew it would be all this time and thatās why Iāve kept off it until now but literally every time I go in that app I can easily lose an hour or more and come out feeling completely uncreative and uninspiring ā some of the skill, talent, ability on there is staggering, the way some people can just do the thing, incredible.
Glad you got in another test, glad for the result, hoping fam members are ok and just basically thankful each day that everyone I know and love are doing ok, itās a crazy world and insane that twenty twenty was taken up with this pandemic, it feels all so virtual world, like looking in on the most insane sci-fi youāve ever watched play out and your part of the script.
Literally just fell down the tiktok black hole again just then because you said in the dmās that you sent me some videos and I could not find them straight away so I ended up doomscrolling the home page, arrrggghh, get me outta this app, ok, now Iāve had too much coffee and need to attend to toilet duties, which as you know, damn faff, ha, such is life right?
Ok, back, yayay, erm, what else, well, looking forward to watching and catching up on another discovery when that drops this week, I think they are finally pushing it to Netflix and other places this week, maybe they put like a bunch out first and then allow other networks to have them later, like hbo got the exclusive for a little while.
Sorry todayās post is a little meh, like I said at the top, feeling a little bit looper, maybe itās cabin fever, in fact yeah, itās probably that so after I welcome you into the world Iām gonna get out and walk and exercise and breath in some relatively good for me air, get the body moving, step it up a little bit, get those steps in.
Recalibration time with music will bring me back to the present, putting some EQ on the world noise today, finding solutions in megahertz.
Mwah,
