2026 birthday plans fluffy rambles

Hey y'all! My birthday is coming up this Sunday. I have the following things going on:

  • I’ll be spending some time in VR for the Trans Academy Trans Pride festival, and in particular will be speaking on the music production panel which is at 10:45 AM, Pacific time
  • I’m going to be seeing The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act at AMC Pacific Place at 7 PM, and it’d be super fun if I had a bunch of friends with me! Right now the theater is completely empty except for me and it’d be nice to not be alone like Kinger lol
  • And I guess if we aren’t too emotionally destroyed afterwards (or maybe especially if we are!) we could get drinks and snacks somewhere in the dying mall? It’d be thematically-appropriate, at least
  • is the Pacific Place food court even open that late anymore (8:30)? probably not
  • looks like the hot pot place is, at least
  • how is midnight cookie in any way deserving of that name, wtf
  • help i’m trapped in a neverending <ul>

Hello Furality folks! fluffy rambles

Yay, Furality is here! I don’t know how many people are coming here vs. to my music site since Furality doesn’t give me any dealer’s den click metrics or whatever, but welcome all the same.

I already posted a Furality-specific entry on the blogpuppet, but since this is what I consider my main website, I guess I’ll cover all my bases! So, here’s another little FAQ.

Specification vs. implementation Code

There are a lot of times when the specification says one thing but common implementations do another. Here are some especially common examples to watch out for.

UPDATE (4/14/2026): I was wrong about the source of the issue that led to me writing this article, but it’s still the same issue! It just happened somewhere else in the chain than my investigations led me to believe. Which still emphasizes the point.

The secular Serenity Prayer fluffy rambles

I grant myself the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking this world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that we can make all things right if we come together in unity;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and that I can leave this world a better place than I found it.
