I do this manually each Saturday, collating recent tweets I made at [twitter.com/disquiet](https://twitter.com/disquiet/), which I think of as my public notebook. Some tweets [pop up](https://disquiet.com/2021/07/14/speech-to-text-as-the-new-cut-up/) (in [expanded](https://disquiet.com/2021/07/16/this-week-or-so-in-vocal-deepfakes/) form or [otherwise](https://disquiet.com/2021/07/17/the-rain-is-its-own-sort-of-pixel/)) [on](https://disquiet.com/2021/07/13/im-on/) Disquiet.com sooner. It’s personally informative to revisit the previous week of thinking out loud.
▰ I love when members of the Disquiet Junto post images of their works-in-progress. These are photos by participants’ set-ups from doing the latest project, which explores the glass armonica of Benjamin Franklin, whose original Junto society inspired our own.

(“Day or night he’ll be there any time at all, Doctor Robert”).
▰ Diced carrots are the Legos of the kitchen (unless, of course, there’s already Lego on your kitchen floor).
▰ I’ve wondered why I say GIF as in “gift” (not as in a kind of peanut butter). Today I recalled: I learned the word in the early 1990s from a graphic designer who traded “gift images”* he made with other designers. Time passed before I learned “gift” was in fact “GIF.”
*obscene 😳
▰ Just loved how just before his final confrontation in the final season of *Bosch*, the title character went ahead and quoted the show’s long-running theme song (that he “can’t let go”). Not quite breaking the fourth wall, but sure as heck knocking on it.
▰ Wax Trax!, ECM, Warp, Leaving
▰ OK, on that note, have a great weekend. Between notes-tidying and bike riding and longform writing and recipe-trying-out and an inevitable nap … well, we’ll see what there is time for. See you Monday, or maybe Tuesday.
