If you don’t know the answer, there’s a good chance someone else does. My musical process exists in a niche space, so for me specifically sometimes the best way to learn new things is to open my questions up to the internet. Like why not just put the question out there. It’s a direct portal to almost ANYONE in the world, what a useful tool.

It's fun to talk about a thing and see if the person you're with has any knowledge about it before you automatically search it. Boomers often don't even conceive of bringing their questions to the internet, and most younger people do the exact opposite. It's nice to strike a balance and still have conversations.

When I was younger I used to be able to spend HOURS playing random internet games, like I would just get lost in them and not think about anything else outside of the game. That’s probably not the best way to spend your time when you’re a kid, but as an adult I’ve realized it’s kind of a way to meditate. It’s an opportunity to be present and take a break from thinking about anything, and it’s so easy to get lost in it.

This one’s for my live coders out there ♡ I’ve been learning how to work in a new live coding environment called Strudel. It’s special because it’s web-based and has some cool integrations, and personally I also like it because its notation lends itself really well to unexpected outcomes.

Being able to grow your own food for free is just the craziest concept. I also have some doomsday prepper DNA in me and gardening satisfies that need for self-sufficiency lmao. My girlfriend’s mom told me recently that plants have survival instincts too, so when you grow your own fruits and vegetables, they try to adapt to what you like so you’re less likely to get rid of them. So also that’s why food you grow yourself tastes so much better.
