Somebody painstakingly remastered the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack. One of the most beautiful game soundtracks of all time – and they went through and recreated with all of the correct samples from KORG synths, etc.

The Medium is the Message still really fascinates me as a concept and I think about it a lot with Social Media.

Really disappointed to learn that the second half of the famous quote is "A poor artist blames his tools, because his tools are cheap and they suck."

Damn, so cold.

Pirates of Silicon Valley goes so hard. Way harder than any made-for-TV movie has any business going. And Noah Wyle set an impossibly high bar for any subsequent Steve Jobs performance.

My dad was a painter. LOVED Picasso. Used to attribute something to Picasso which was that his opinion was that "The purpose of art is to make the modern world felt"

One of my favorite artists, Brian Eno, mentioned one of my favorite books, "A Pattern Language", during his interview with @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social

On the surface, "A Pattern Language", by Christopher Alexander is about buildings and towns – but it even inspired Object Oriented Programming.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

I know that in a deep sense meditation is more than just feeling good — but, regardless, it really can be helpful for feeling good.

I don't talk too much about meditation other than regarding the apps I make; but I made a point of reinvigorating my practice about 6 months back when my workload was particularly crazy — and holy cow does it really make a difference.

Kinda think we should bring back the 80s term "smoke show" as a way to describe someone being hot.

Crazy that Network (1976) was basically 50 years ago 🤯

Also crazy that people still don't recognize the mechanics of media and commerce the movie highlights.

I dunno – as an educated person, I do, in fact, find ChatGPT to be the superior search engine for 90% of my tasks these days.
