The ADHD levels here are just off the chart:

So, I really like this streaming station Big Sonic Heaven. It's run by DJ Darren Revell, who used to host a show by the same name on 96.3 FM in the Detroit area. Shoegaze, dreampop, post-punk, good stuff.

A couple of years ago, I hacked together this project to poll his Now Playing widget and automatically accumulate a Spotify playlist from it. Alas, about a year ago, that widget disappeared and I never got around to fixing the script.

Fast forward to today: I fell down a rabbit hole and suddenly figured out a new way to revive the script. I even dockerized it so maybe I can neglect it even more successfully.

Here's the playlist, someday I should move it to something not-Spotify.

Actually, a thing I need to figure out someday is how to migrate all my playlists off Spotify. Maybe onto something like Plex. I'm sure it's a solved problem, but most solutions I've randomly googled look shady.

@mav Yeah, that's true. Though, I do actually have a good chunk of the stuff in my playlists also on a local NAS ripped from CDs. Would be nice enough to match between the two

@mav Heh, I haven't even looked into the Plex API yet, so you are actually a lil ahead of me! :D

@thegibson Reticulate them splines

@TheDarkHorse livin the life!

Aw man, the show I've been waffling over going to for weeks now has sold out 2 days beforehand

(i'm not good at leaving the house)

@onelson Sony audio devices have always had really neato design

@onelson If I had $4k to splurge on that I'd probably also just be listening to, like, 96kbit MP3s on it with bluetooth earbuds

I feel like I need both of these stickers on the same laptop

Also, I feel like a hoodie, PJ pants, and a cozy beanie are a 21st century wizard robe

@c0debabe If you wanna be, you absolutely are!

@craigmaloney That seems like the weirdest "well actually" game and so much easier to play than actually writing anything :sadcowblob:​

Had today off, decided to do some shopping at Costco

Evidently, the entire population of North #PDX also picked that same option in the life sim for today

"only playing in theaters"

You have no power over me. When I grew up, movies didn't come home for like 18-24 months - if ever. I can wait.

Although, a significant chunk of my childhood was marred by disappointment because I fell asleep during the last 20 minutes of Star Trek: The Motion Picture at a drive-in theater and never learned how it ended until I'd grown a few feet taller.

Of course, I'm not really the ideal target market for theaters.

There was a short span of years when I lived walking distance from a theater. I had a great time going there for deserted matinees, because I work from home and had a few days without meetings. I'd sit dead center and bask in the sound system and eat too much popcorn.

But, like, go when there's a crowd? Haha, no, my Plex server is more enticing.

Like, $5 for a mystery movie at an AMC? Haha, no, I'd rather chew aluminum foil
