artist Holly Herndon releases a tool to allow anyone to make music with her voice. aside from the interesting utility of it, there's plenty of conversation to be had about vocal ownership, AI impersonation and potential privacy concerns this could have in the future. It's Art for now but it opens the door to a lot more.

I've been subscribed to the Tiny Showcase newsletter for more years than I can count. I *stay* subscribed just to see gems like this one.

my mind is blown in so many ways. incredible skill, technique and dedication to say the least.

absolutely bonkers skills. the eyeball alone would take me a lifetime.

never forget

hadn't really heard much about this previously. pretty intriguing quick look at AI powered code.

a little treat you didn't know you needed

Robot Super Dennis really goes to town on these Super Denim jeans.

haven't listened to a note of this yet BUT I haven't heard anything from them yet I haven't enjoyed. Color me intrigued.

KDAP is Kevin Drew of Broken Social Scene. He has a new record called Influences that is inspired by Brian Eno and his ilk. What I've heard so far is a mixed bag but it's certainly worth at least one listen.

Decoder Ring does a pretty great rundown on the history of the hype of the Segway, how it got out of control and the overall aftermath. Worth a listen.

really enjoying Powell’s channel in general and this video is a nice tutorial on some bleeding edge new CSS markup. its an hour so i dont expect anyone to watch it in full but check the first few minutes for sure!

absolutely stellar

nice read on Miller's background and inspiration

surprisingly entertaining

if you're around Santa Fe, go check out this polaroid exhibit by Mr Grosbeck

a playlist meant to evoke hot summer TN nights. nails it.

absolutely fascinating insight into this “prototype” city aiming for a 2025 debut. it is unlikely to reach all of its goals but the *ideas* are amazing

Wanted to make a quick post here to note that my brother wrote a book and it's available for pre-order. The subject matter is Boxwell Reservation, a Boy Scout camp that has existed in the Middle Tennessee area for approximately 100 years. I can confirm this subject matter is niche but for those interested in the topic, it's a great resource.

He worked on this for years - doing in-person interviews, transcribing them, doing library research combing through piles of old newspapers gathering data. It has been an impressively massive pile of work just for the preparation of the actual writing! I'm real proud of him and if you have the vaguest interest in Boxwell, the power of community of Boy Scouts or just supporting a writer; please do check this out.
