    We hacked this IKEA Lerberg shelf unit into a standing desk. Had to go deep into the source code and figure out how to infiltrate the shelf’s encryption. Once we were in we figured out that if you take off the bottom shelf, my legs and chair can fit underneath.

    The second shelf from the top is a good height for a standing desk for me. We put an old Muji Melco desk fan on the top shelf. It’s silently raining cool are down from the top through the shelves.

    Standing desk…$20.

    I got my second alert to take a photo for the Minutiae application last night. Minutiae is an anonymous anti-social media app. No profiles, no likes, no comments. Once a day, at a random moment, everybody gets an alert. Capture what is in front of you then and there.

    When the alert came I went into panic mode (in a good way). The time pressure really makes you study the area around you to find something good to capture. This is going to be an interesting 1440 day project.

    I did merch for Birthday Suits today. It is a satisfying feeling working the merch table. You get to meet new people who are stoked about show they just saw. That kind energy is infectious. It makes you want to go home and Listen to more music. It makes you want to go to the next show tomorrow.
