Just me today to kicking off the new year with a new mic – Sennheiser e816S, a simplified production process, and a glass of Armagnac.
Things on my mind:
- Cooper’s crying is like interruption-based advertising is like a Vonnegat story.
- Distribution is Advertising.
- Removing distraction for the New Year; moving status indicators to my dashboard and unsubscribing from yahoo podcasts, ruby on rails, and a pile of rss feeds.
- Errol Morris’ First Person
- Special thanks to Dave Slusher for remembering the story was Kurt Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, Lewis for the bottle, Sam for the delivery, and Jeremy Piller for the theme music.

Dude, this was way too quiet. It was inaudible at the level of everything else. When the next show came on, it blasted my eardrums out.
Thanks Dave and sorry.
Neal Stephenson has some interesting things to say about “continuous partial attention.”
Coincedently, I finally got through the Attention Panel from last year’s SuperNova. It starts out with a presentation by Linda Stone – credited with coining the term “continous partial attention”.
I thought it was ok – didn’t keep my attention.
I traced the level problem to a bad cable. I know I’m much happier getting the levels I expected. Apologies on the quietness of this one.
