Happy folk fest for those who celebrate :-)
On my way to Canmore for the Folk Fest.
Victoria International Airport → Calgary International Airport → Canmore, Alberta
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.
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.
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
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!
Recovering from DLRL summer school by scrambling for tarp space at the Canmore Folk Fest 🎻 🎶
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 .
