Happy folk fest for those who celebrate :-)

On my way to Canmore for the Folk Fest.

• Watched Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
• Passed my candidacy exam! 🎉
• Finished my first pair of socks custom fit to me
• Went to a celtic-themed pops concert for St Patrick's day 🍀
• Made a looot of biscotti

This actually creeped me out the first time I saw it. There's this weird glorification of a guy who cares about Christine so much he taught her how to sing. Never mind the weird emotional manipulation, kidnapping, and torturing of her fiancee. I feel like this tweet captures the creepiness perfectly.

What I did Sep1 - Sep7

Indieweb-stuff:

• Tried to federate my indiewebsite so that I could interact with mastodon through it (unsuccessfully)

• Hacked together a websub hub which passes all of the websub.rocks tests.

• Rebuilt large chunks of my site---particularly the back-end---so that the posting interface is nicer and easier to test.

• Factored out my markdown albums, webmentioning, and hashtag extensions into separate repos which I can independently maintain.

• Hooked up webmentions again so that I can see webmentions as part of an ongoing effort to improve usability of federation.

• Hooked up in_reply_to again, so that I can send webmentions. This also lets me reply-tweet using brid.gy

• Started posting albums and articles I'd held off on posting.

Reading:

• Research proposals from different disciplines to figure out how I want to structure my candidacy document.

• Bickhard's interactivism and process metaphysics

• Anthony Chemero's take on representationalism

Other stuff

• Karaoke 🎤
• Symphony under the sky
• Knitting an aran sweater I designed
• Yoga 🧘

Trying to keep dry on the last day of folk fest. Trying.

One tarp up and one tarp to the right of the golden tarp!

Yesterday's @YEGChamberMusic performance: reminding me that even 9 year-olds can be crazy-talented musicians #ssmf17 #yegarts

Of Monster and Men hitting the main stage.

Angus & Julia Stone, folks.

Can't imagine a better place to hold a folk festival than cradled by the Rockies in Canmore!

I just found an old re-mix from an old mash-up. I've been searching for this for 3 years now.

This is the best.

Using the Erhu for the solo in the Magic Flute's aria was unexpectedly fun! #yeg

On of the pianists at the chamber music festival was using a tablet for sheet music. #yeg.
