Day 1459 : Beyond

liner notes:

  • Saturday : This weekend was a hackathon that I agreed to do a workshop for work. Got up early and headed downtown. My workshop didn't go as planned due to circumstances beyond my control, but I was able to get people at least started. After that, I went to the station to the radio show. I was tired, but had a great time as usual. The recording of this week's show is at https://kNOwBETTERHIPHOP.com

A meme-style graphic features two side-by-side electoral shift maps of the United States from The New York Times against a black background. The map on the lower left displays county-level shifts from 2020 to 2024 covered predominantly in red arrows, while the map on the upper right displays shifts from 2024 covered in blue arrows across much of the country. The image is bordered by solid black horizontal bars at the top and bottom. Bold yellow text across the top reads "Nov 7th 2026," while the bottom features large bold yellow text reading "Greenwashing," smaller yellow text reading "RIP Juan Atkins" above it on the right, and the watermark "KNOWBETTERHIPHOP.COM" in the bottom right corner.

  • Sunday : Day 2 of the hackathon. Got up early again and headed to the venue. I was literally there all day and evening. haha I got there like 8:30-9am and didn't leave till like a little after 9pm. It was a good time. People built some really cool projects. I spent some time helping folks out if they needed it and did some work on modifying a 3D model I'm looking to print. Pretty productive day all things considering, but I was tired when I got back.

  • Professional : I woke up so tired today! haha Luckily, I only had one meeting for an upcoming event and my manager cancelled our meeting. Basically, I just submitted my expense report from the event during the weekend and worked on some other code for projects.

  • Personal : My focus for this week is to put together the order that came in and get that shipped out. I want to print the new modifications to the product I've been working on. A friend sent over some files so I want to get those made to get to them. There's that other project I'm working on to get to an artist that will be in town next week. I think I figured out how I can actually get my idea made. I was testing some stuff out while at the hackathon on Sunday.

A breathtaking wide landscape photograph captures towering, sheer vertical sea cliffs dropping dramatically into churning, deep turquoise and cobalt-blue ocean waters that break into white seafoam. Lush green grass blankets the sloping foreground hillside and the flat clifftops, where a solitary dark sea stack rises just off the rugged rocky coastline beneath an overcast, cloud-filled sky. The setting is County Clare, Ireland.

First thing I'm going to do after eating dinner is sign up for my company's health care plan. The deadline is this Friday and one year I got so busy I missed the deadline and had to sign up for the government plan and it was expensive! Still amazes me the what the healthcare system in the US is and how broken it is. If there's time after that, I'll work on the idea for the artist coming into town and maybe get it to the point where I can print a prototype and work on that this week in addition to the other projects. Going to get to work.

Have a great night!
