Weeknote 779: Starting

This week I have learned:

the Zen-like art of a studio rewire. Stuff had accumulated over the years. Wires were everywhere. When better than a bank holiday weekend to rip it all out and start again? I’m not a tidy person, but I can take some joy in occasional acts of extreme tidying.
unless it’s a shed.
that you can chain ADAT devices to increase the number of inputs into your DAW. This sentence will only make sense to some <taps nose knowingly>.
about the idea of the Actionable Insight Fallacy. I think I may have coined it, until someone tells me otherwise. This is the long tail of the book project. I’m getting big into the idea of metaskills to deal with the random world around us.
I’m fine speaking to camera in the privacy of my own home. I feel like a knob doing it in public spaces.
it’s “knob” not “nob”.
about theoretical dice and decision making. If you’re rolling a D6 to make a decision today, it’s come about as the result of the roll of a bigger die beforehand, ad infinitum, until you end up with an infinitely-sized die.
if you could roll an infinitely-sized die, you’d not be able to tell on which side it had landed when you rolled it.
it feels wrong calling it a die not a dice.
I’m happier starting things up than running them in steady state.
every so often I need to remind myself it’s all just an extended role-playing exercise and sometimes you need to find ways to debrief.
how much I love the curved windows of the Central Line/W&C tube trains.
the prep for the book launch is GO! Message me for an invite to the launch event.
