Hope it’s a grand one.

Sounds like the picked the right name for global warming caused "Arctic Zombie Fires".

Seems the Spotify hifi tier timing is still unknown (missed earlier stated EOY). https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Music-HiFi-Quality-Lossless-Streaming-16bit-44/idc-p/5324421#M238504

I'm not seeing any snow angels in these photos.

Okay, not a new idea, but Noveto is at CES this year, so perhaps closer to a real product. https://noveto.com

Started Station Eleven last night, but this morning Alex Steffen on discontinuity and the planetary crisis. https://alexsteffen.substack.com/p/discontinuity-is-the-job https://alexsteffen.substack.com/p/were-not-yet-ready-for-whats-already Learning fun new words like “transapocalyptic”.

Congrats. Watching Mindless Consumerism thread.

I’m trying to approach 2022 less seriously, so starting the year with Wings. I mean Wing.

I don't know which of these 2022 will be, but here's hoping for the second.

Thanks everyone. Gifts (new Marin bike for Esmé) and holiday music at home and now jumping on the road to go to Mel’s parents. Birthday cake, apple pie, cheesecake, and who knows what else awaits (besides sugar crash). Hope anyone is having a wonderful Xmas.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Xmas with family, friends, wine, book, and/or movie.

It’s probably been my favorite holiday album for a few years. Sample below (originally by Dolly Parton). And COH is great.

Evening drifting into more contemportary-ish holiday music... And continuing our favorite bittersweet holiday song for another year...

RIP giant Joan Didion. "I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment." https://www.npr.org/2021/12/23/375431790/joan-didion-obituary

It's Burl Ives season
