There is just something about Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound Of Silence" that captures my imagination and simply must be performed. This release was recorded in April, 2025, and somehow it feels... timely, given the state of things these days.

I hope you enjoy this rendition of "The Sound Of Silence", available on popular streaming services.

@antijingoist same. Miracle that I manage to stay upright when they hit. For me they are often tied to eye movement (try stopping that), so at their worst it made it very difficult to read, code, do life, etc. Thankfully today they are much, much fewer — but those random occurrences when they do happen can be really un-fun!

Hope yours improve quickly!!

Bob Newhart, the beloved American stand-up performer whose droll, deadpan humor showcased on two critically acclaimed CBS sitcoms vaulted him into the ranks of history’s greatest comedians, has died at the age of 94. hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-ne

- cursor input smoothing
- single-level pull-down menus (and VStacks, intrinsic sizes, chained selections) with commit animation

Dialogs are next, I think. Still under 2k lines of Lua

I recently recorded a #piano arrangement of "Pure Imagination"—I absolutely adore this song and hope I've done it even a little bit of justice.

Performed on a #Yamaha NU1X using #Steinway B Recording 1 preset from #Pianoteq by #MODARTT. Lightly edited and mastered using #LogicPro 11. Cover Art generated using #AdobeFirefly.

David Tennant: “I remember gay rights being weaponised politically. That always felt ugly & nasty… 30 years later & those people are clearly on the wrong side of history. Now there is a similar weaponisation of these topics… to create friction & conflict & division where it needn’t be. It’s just about people being themselves. You don’t need to be bothered about it. F**k off & let people be”

NodeJS 22 is out, and I knew it had a bunch of cool long-desired stuff (built-in glob support, require support for ESM, etc.) but somehow missed that it includes a WebSocket client as core API now. I've been waiting for WebSocket support for literally years!

Speaking of Saarinen… I had to stop at the TWA Hotel because I’m flying JetBlue out of JFK. This building surprises you at every turn. It changes shape constantly as you move through it.

The central atrium of the old TWA terminal at JFK. Very very 60s modem organic shapes as far as the eye can see. Everything is white with red accents, upholstery, and carpet.

Was originally just planning on using the TFT to debug the frame buffer logic (which is next to write) while generating #Retroputer's screen… (I _think_ this will be easier to debug any VGA output I add if I know the logic to build the frame buffer is correct.)

But it's such a cute screen that I'm toying with the idea of making a mini-Retroputer with a tiny keyboard and case.

I think that would be retro-licious.
