| We are back in our regular rotation. LYT Workshop 12 wrapped last week, as I mentioned in the previous week, so expect this to be more regular. | ||
| ### Personal Notes | ||
|
|
||
| - I'm finally getting back to doing a quarterly review, a month later than I would've hoped. | ||
| - NaNoWriMo is starting this Wednesday, and I'm planning to participate. I put my [Project Page](https://nanowrimo.org/participants/craftbyzen-jeremy/projects) up for everyone to see. | ||
| - At work, we've been chugging along working on next product requirements that's hush hush here | ||
| - As some people are aware with [my father](/blog/2023-08-11-hospital-vibes/), we've followed up with PT this past week where he can start walking supervised without his cane, which is a win all around. | ||
| - [This new genome map tries to capture all human genetic variation](https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/05/10/1072857/this-new-genome-map-tries-to-capture-all-human-genetic-variation/) | ||
| - I've put my dad's 30 day notice for senior living in today. He's ready to go home around Thanksgiving time. He's ready to go him. | ||
| - My dad's health is generally okay. He's having some skin problems at the moment from not putting on enough lotion. His hygiene is terrible, and we are wondering if he needs to shower every day. He also is not shaving. We had dim sum yesterday, and are ready for other caretakers to help take care of him. | ||
| - His recovery is stagnant. We want him to interact with more of the people. I'm starting to create a recovery team for him so he has support | ||
|

||
| > It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. | ||
| ### Back to your regular notes | ||
|
|
||
| I'm super curious about the intersection of science and data visualization, so this might be something of a research area in my near term. | ||
|
|
||
| - I'm super curious when it comes to wedding tea ceremonies, as my wedding is coming up next year. I'll probably be going to SF Chinatown, after looking at [Photos: Inside a traditional dress shop in S.F. Chinatown](https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/visuals/sf-chinatown-dragon-seed-clothing/). | ||
| - I've been returning to this idea about systems, and when I encounter new ones (tagged: experimental), I try to incorporate them in my own workflows and see if they mesh. Most do (I'm looking at you, GTD) | ||
| - [The top 7 software engineering workflow tips I wish I knew earlier 🧰](https://careercutler.substack.com/p/the-top-7-software-engineering-workflow?utm_source=tldrnewsletter) | ||
| - An oldie, but goodie given I was doing a bit of research on what if I won that [recent $1.76 Billion lottery](https://www.powerball.com/draw-result?gc=powerball&date=2023-10-11) | ||

| - In lieu of the point above about systems, a tangent is the idea of mental models. Here are [10 mental models that make the modern world](https://twitter.com/oldbooksguy/status/1707421852128469147/?rw_tt_thread=True) | ||
| - [Netflix DVD is now over](https://www.theverge.com/23883662/netflix-dvd-shutdown-complex-tech-packaging-mail). However, I still love my physical media, even with storage constraints. [Changelog recently did an episode on physical media](https://changelog.com/news/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-physical-media-Y1YX) and lamenting the golden age of films | ||

| - I'm looking into a way to embed songs to Obsidian so I can link a song. I might use a YouTube embed in the meantime. | ||
| - Here's a note I wrote about my LYT showcase. | ||
| - I recognize perfection is the enemy of good. And the way I've wanted to present my work is hardly how it looks when I'm in the middle of the idea. In my writing, first drafts hardly resemble the published draft. And even the published draft may be upcycled to other ideas. I'm very happy to see many other students embrace the mess | ||

| Daylight savings is a pain. It's 4:30pm and it's already a sunset. Some people get Seasonal affective disorder, I get sad with the daylight receding. With that, let's talk weekly notes. | ||

| - The announcement came earlier this year. As someone who loved going to these three theaters, UA, Shattack Cinema, and California Cinema, in Berkeley throughout the '90s and '00s, this was heartbreaking. | ||
| - I remember seeing Lord of the Rings: The Twin Towers at the UA after school, and it was magical. Something about not having these theaters for the next generation breaks my heart | ||
| - I also distinctly going to see Spirited Away at Shattack Cinema, and remembering how Miyazaki movies instill magic into them. | ||
