Elizabeth Cotten, playing the guitar upside-down, with the EADGBE arrangement switched to EBGDAE, and plucking the high notes with her thumb, leaving the rest of the hand to arpeggiate the bassline and chords. What a great technique and style

I've become deeply convinced by agroforestry, it's one of the most promising shifts we can do to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss. This year, I'm aiming to start a small forest garden.

The Agroforestry Trust is a good start, and also this:

in today's class at @ual_cci Santa dropped by and gave the students blender add-on presents, they've been very well behaved this year 🎅

they've asked me to teach "experimental human-computer interaction", am I doing this right? I've watched Existenz so many times I cannot imagine it any other way

this year I've mostly gone back to learning skills. I miss working on projects (and completing them) but I think my work will be stronger for taking some time out to extend my craft. It has been a time for growing and establishing new roots, rather than bearing fruits.
