Fill a highball glass with ice and pour tequila and orange juice into it. Careful put the grenadine into the glass without stirring or shaking. The grenadine is ”the sunrise”.

and tagged it with Drinks and cocktails As I searched the liquor cabinet the other day I realized that I had a surprising amount of tequila, so I decided to make Tequila Sunrise’s. They turned out really well.

and tagged it with Social Networks The open web Threads According to the [Thread’s] own data privacy disclosure, Threads can collect information about a user’s health, finance, contacts, search history, location, and other sensitive information via their digital activity. The app can also forward data to third parties about a user’s sexual orientation, religious and political beliefs, race and ethnicity, body, and employment status.
Why Twitter Rival Threads Isn’t Available in the E.U. (time.com)
This seems like a lot of data to collect for a text-based social network. Perhaps the fact that it’s not available in the EU at the moment is not necessarily a 100% bad thing? I mean, we constantly whine about the power that big corporations have and how blatantly they disregard the rights and privacy of us, their users.

and tagged it with Handwritten Photo This might just be one of those ideas that I only stick with for a couple of days but right now I write my blog posts with a pen and paper. Then I transcribe them on the computer when it is time to post.
If I am going to stick with it, I’ll probably need a new and better notebook.

and tagged it with Handwritten I’m sitting under a roofed section of the deck. The clouds rolling in are so dark blue as to almost come off as black. The power cuts out and all those noises of modern life, the ones we are so used to that we don’t even hear them anymore, disappears.
I don’t see any lightning, maybe it’s too bright still, but I hear the roar of thunder. I love a good summer thunder storm.
The rain starts pouring and I see a flash. It hits the ground within a hundred meters or so. The sky is no longer dark but bright white from the rain.
Yet another lightning strikes and I count in my head. One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three… I get to six Missisippies before the thunder roars. As it dies down, so does the intensity of the rain.
The power returns. The brief respite from modern hi tech life ends.

Life ain’t too bad at the moment.

and tagged it with Event Horizon / Black Hole Playing music for fun There are so many things that I feel like getting back into. Blogging is one of those. Lately I’ve been meaning to start writing again but because it’s been so long since I did, I feel like my ”come back post” should be this grand thing, so it never happens. So here it is, I guess.
Another thing I really want to get back into is playing music. Playing more or less in the same meaning of the word as playing games, children playing, etc. It doesn’t have to result in a lot of great music written, recorded, mixed and released. However it should result in me feeling like I’ve spent time on a hobby.
My goal is to spend at least an hour, at least three nights a week on playing music in one way or another. Initially I try to document it here to see if that helps things along. If it doesn’t I might stop documenting.
Anyway, tonight I’ve been playing with my Volca Modular and DSI MoPho, working on some sounds for an actual song. It’s a song that I wrote a long time ago now called ”Event Horizon / Black Hole” that I’ve used for work quite a few times but that I never quite got around to properly record for my own sake. I think I might give that a try now, so today was a sound design day.
