(For a While) I Couldn’t Play the Guitar…

Oniona is too busy with classes these days so her guitar has been in a corner of our apartment collecting dust lately. Guitar has always felt too hard for me to learn, but upon listening to Spacemen 3’s Come Down Easy the idea that “it’s just 3 chords, I could learn that..” has been on my mind.

Been listening to this Chinese Rock gem every single day for the past 2 weeks or so. Simplicity, passion, energy, feedback/distortion and an amazing homage to Sonic Youth too.

In February ‘23

When life is slow it's often that little happens even in ~~30~~ 28 days to fill up a blog post. But here we're at the end of February for a proper update.

I have an Instagram account exclusively for keeping in touch with family and friends back in 🇨🇴. I’d log in once or twice a month, but today I was greeted with this:

"We suspended your account" message "Upload a selfie so we can verify is you" message

And now I don’t have an Instagram account 🤷🏽‍♂️

Have a GoBlog feature idea… run it by Jan-Lukas… 15 minutes later it’s implemented. And so the cycle repeats… #GoBlog rules 👏🏽

I was added to the family’s Spotify plan last week so I’ve been using it lately… can’t find the EQ though 😕 Did they really make a music player without an equalizer or is this just another case of “no soup for you” on Linux?

🔗 Spotify’s AI DJ Will Let the Recommendation Engine Explain Itself

Avoided all them cool AIs so far. Call it the “denial phase” that’s reaching an acceptance point because the new Spotify DJ is something I will check. AIs have won.

Yep, trying Fediverse instances remains the new “distro hopping” 😅
