My 11 year old son broke one of my shot glasses (don't get any ideas, he uses them to mix his Thai iced tea). He felt really bad about it, so today he bought me a new one.

It's made of silicon, which is weird. But this incident reinforces my opinion that he's a really good kid. ❤️😁 ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109543616526142565) 2022-12-19T01:04:07Z ****

I wondered if she was an NPC or was actually having the same dream at that time. I asked her about it this morning, she said she wasn't. Of course, she might simply not remember... ;-) ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109501270392210732) 2022-12-12T14:52:42Z ****
I occasionally lucid dream. I'll realize that I'm dreaming and think, "cool! I'm dreaming! I can have some fun!"

Last night I had one. I dreamed I was lying in bed with the wife (which I actually was). I told her "hey, this is a lucid dream. Watch this, we can fly!" and grabbed her and proceeded to fly us both around the room. ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109501268801898427) 2022-12-04T16:40:36Z ****
**Content warning:** fediverse etiquette suggestion

* * *

If you like to post about largely non-controversial things like your family or your hobbies, and you also like to post about more divisive things like politics or culture wars, consider using an alt.

By partitioning your posts in that way, you can have a lot of constructive engagements with people you might otherwise alienate if they had to deal with your opinions that they strongly disagree with, or even that suggest that you're "on the other side." ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109456394585620826) 2022-12-01T02:21:52Z ****

I've been synchronizing mixed audio and video tracks by hand and it only now occurred to me that there might be a tool to do this. Sure enough:

Just added a "style selector" to [https://0x0x.dev](https://0x0x.dev). What's neat about this is it relies entirely on client-side state. Pages render a style element based on the value of a cookie. You don't need to be logged in, and the style selection page (since it doesn't modify server state) is just a GET method.

You can even specify your own custom stylesheet, though this isn't yet supported through the web form -- just hack the setStyle URL like a pro! ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109383568143670411) 2022-11-20T18:23:42Z ****
I've generally avoided video in my music-making efforts. Dealing with digital audio is challenging enough (especially when you're a hard-core command-line geek who writes his own audio tools).

However, I finally spent some quality time with kdenlive yesterday and I have to say I think I'm getting the gist of it.

I'm not so sure about publishing videos showing myself playing all of the parts in songs where I do that, though. ⌘ [Read more](https://mastodon.social/@0x0x/109377527663002639) 2022-11-20T14:30:07Z ****
