it's a "go to two yoga classes in one day because I can't stop grinding my teeth and need the little endorphins to fix me" kind of Monday

Just reminding everyone that there's a Mercury retrograde starting this week, good luck

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-133/ this week in sentences: bygone stairway, babies with guns, carapace, jerking off, dinosaur action, not on anyone's side, thalassophobia, Moog, linger on, picky about, not full of juice, alas

it's actually Dr. Brightside, but it's in anthropology

also that this listserv was 1) created by the guy who started https://del.icio.us and 2) hosted on the vanity domain https://burri.to, like come on guys

feels deeply dumbass-millennial coded that one of the most consequential listservs of people doing geospatial software stuff in the 2000s was called "geowanking" and now I have to explicate that name in a dissertation

RIP Corp team a month ago: working on an episode about pensions, maybe after the city primary Brad Lander will have time for us?

RIP Corp last week: LOL, LMAO even

https://placing.technology/media-archaeology-with-mapinfos-mapxpress-2-0-1996 blogged about old mapping software (well, advertising for it) to feel something as I work on my dissertation

Respect to the guy in his fifties I saw today sitting outside the laundromat with a paperback edition of All Fours

Just overheard a guy greet a sparrow that landed on his cafe table with "well hey, little freak!"

Worried that a job interview I had scheduled was abruptly cancelled today not because of someone being sick as they told me but because this org actually accidentally scheduled me by mistake and is trying to save face or looked at my social media and said JK, both of these options feel great

https://buttondown.com/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-130/ this week in sentences: reddened waters, each next pair, billboards, bros, lettuce, whimsy, small holes in their heads, merciless prolixity

Still reeling from a nearly five hour long interview in which someone who worked at Esri for nearly 30 years told me that shapefiles were, essentially, a mistake

man, turns out the fast cancellation of the future is worse

probably taking it too personally that a specific geo person has basically ghosted me on doing an interview for this dissertation but also like, man you want to be written out of a history that only i'm dumb enough to chronicle i guess that's your problem
