I might have to set an actual goal, because I don't think I'll ever feel like I know all the best ways to run a website, but I'd like to write a blog post for people getting into it. There are plenty of resources out there, but I feel like the art of personal web design and how things like adding new content to your website in a simple way, are becoming lost. When I created this website, despite being a computer science major starting my fourth year, I didn't know where to start. For the first month I would log into CPanel and navigate their menus to finally replace the old file with the new one any time I wanted to make a change. Simple stuff like dynamically loading content, or really just showing people whats possible is what I'd like to document in a non doc pages way.

The other day I got an MP3 player. I got the HIFI Walker H2 and I've been loving it! I've spent the past two days messing with it, getting all my favourite albums on it, and installing rockbox. I have some plans for the custom plugins you can do with rockbox but I might say more on that later. But yeah, if you're thinking about getting a music player I'd recommend it. There's a lot to describe, but ultimately way more fun than spotify, and y'know they suck as a company anyway so, great.

To follow up on my last declaration, I want to make this year the year of intentionality for me. This just means that when I make decisions or build habits, or do anything, I would like to be intentional, which could just be mindfulness, or some other way of setting goals and channeling metaphysical forms that I want to shoot for. This will involve setting 'rules' of sorts but not resolutions e.g., read for 30 minutes a day is not a requirement, but when I think what should I do right now maybe that's a good time to read for at least 30 minutes. I just think that some intentionality can give a lot of form to your life that doesn't necessarily limit or restrict you, it just keeps you from doing what you don't want and build habits you do want.
PeterMacAulay
This will be the year of INTENTIONALITY!!

I am making the prediction that within my lifetime, the study of Computer Science will fundamentally change, splitting into different categories. There will be the trade of computer science, mostly involving problem solving, and programming. Theory of computation, to focus on the theory side of how computer science works and what is possible. Philosophy of computer science, which will involve searching for how computer science interacts with the world, and what that means. I don't think that these should be studied and treated entirely as separates, but I just hope that the distinctions are more widely recognized. I don't think you can fully appreciate one of them without understanding at least parts of the others, but there should be an effort to define the scape. While it can be an ancient subject, it has drastically changed over the past century and while there has been significant work in creating the new of computer science, there is lack in defining.

Over the break I read Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson. I forgot to add it to my currently reading list, so that's why it's still there. I want give it at least a little time on the list because it deserves it. Amazing book! It was graciously gifted to me by my sister Olivia, thanks Liv. It's a book in verse, but it reads like a novel. It was a fascinating story that was beautifully written, I really enjoyed it. I'd recommend reading it, and it's not too long, which although it feels great to make so much progress with the short chapters and the end of the book quickly approaching, by the time you actually reach the end, you will wish there was more. I could go on about this book and I even considered using it for a part of a blog post and still might, but for now I wanted to get this out there. 4/5 stars, probably a 5/5, but I would have to read it again

I was just re-reading my theory of Forms by ME, and while I am kinda happy with the fact that I was able to get so much of what I wanted to say out there, and I feel as though I didn't loose too much in the translation of thought material to language (although of course I missed a lot). The main thing that is bugging me is first the atrocious grammar in some parts, well every part, and the fact that I think some of my explanations, while making sense, use language in ways that I think if tweaked, could unlock another level of understanding.

I often use this website as a metaphor. I'm not sure if that comes across if I haven't talked to you about it in real life, but I do love using this site as a metaphor because that's kinda what I made it for, and I love metaphors. A lot goes into this site on the development that isn't invisible, but isn't really for the visitors, a lot of it has affects on how people use the website, but those changes are more for me. I do those types of changes to further progress towards a greater goal of building this site, but they aren't important. Ultimately, I'm glad to have done a lot of the background work, but it's the stuff that people will interact with and I hear people talk about something they saw on my site that is the important stuff. It sounds simple now, written out like this but yeah that's what this page is for, I suppose just as I stated above with the metaphor.

I think one of the main contributing factors to if something is slop, is that intent behind it. E.g., "journalism" about menial celebrity drama is only slop because of why it is being done. Same could be said about YouTube content that is done with the sole intent of just keeping people watching. I think that are other factors, but I often think about if something is valuable, and I'm like yeah it's kinda harmless and fun, but it feels like a greater problem and feels like slop

**EDIT From a day ago** In response to some of my musings yesterday, I don't hope for a technological run society, but instead I've lately been getting back into being excited about technology in the way that understanding it can aid your current pursuits greatly. I don't want technology to live my life for me, but instead I think that things like having learned to make this website dynamic so that I can include more cool stuff is cool. It's kinda like Kant's philosophy, love him or hate him, his framework for reality isn't super flashy, but it's the work that he put into it that allowed him to do really cool practical philosophy.
PeterMacAulay
remember when technology used to be cool, like in Victorious. I don't think that dream is dead yet, but we certainly aren't there
PeterMacAulay
I do think it would be cooler if people did a year end review of their music listening habits over the past year and how they compared to the year before using their physical music collections to tell the story, but since most people use streaming, this is still pretty cool. One thing that streaming does have is that meticulous data collection and interpreting. It would be pretty hard to get something as cool as seeing your minutes listened, top songs, albums, and artists with physical music, but I don't think it's impossible. That could be a cool project to build our you physical collection for an ultimately cheaper experience long run, but also create a way to track your data yourself. This is a short post but I will say that this is what I feel technology is for, you shouldn't adapt for technology, what's cool is that it can adapt to you. It should be a superpower, not a your limiting factor

Although I might not even post my wrapped on Instagram myself, anyone saying that it's annoying or you shouldn't sucks. That is anti-social behaviour and although it is just analytics from a horrible huge, company, it's people communicating their experience and that is awesome. I love to see what people have been listening to for the past year. Against all odds, Spotify brings us slightly closer together.
PeterMacAulay
Spotify Wrapped just came out, and y'know Spotify sucks, but this is like Christmas. Yes please take my data, this is the only time I am excited for a company to analyze my data.

I attended 'Free Words' tonight at Duckys Bar. It was a great event, I had the opportunity to hear a number of very talented writers perform readings of their works. I'm so glad that events like this exist, because you just feel something different when there is a room full of people, who came together to share their unique thought translations using their learned skills. I just like to see people actually doing something to fight their way through the infinite journey as they attempt to reach an idea and share that with others.

Hello? more like Hell No--This is the quality you can come to expect on this forum
PeterMacAulay
Hello to anyone who sees this! Welcome to my forum. On here I will be posting quick thoughts. I have a projects page but that's not exactly my thoughts, I have essays, but those are more for polished thoughts normally related to philosophy, and I do have a blog, but I wanted something a bit less formal than a full blog post. I needed somewhere for half baked quick thoughts, somewhere that I could put them out there but it doesn't infringe on the format of my other pages, so if you don't want to read these quick thoughts, you don't have to! Also this gives other people a chance to interact with my website and me! I'm excited for this going forward and I promise the posts won't all be this dry.
