The next tasks are to (1) finish matching and creating tasks, (2) try relating them to each other with Notion\u2019s dependency view, and (3) get a sense from that of what I should focus on next. For the next few weeks at least, this project will have to take a backseat to the election and holidays, but hopefully I can spend some morning project time on it.<\/p>\n<h2>Video<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83c\udf34\ud83d\ude0e\ud83c\udfea<\/p>\n<p><strong>I spent my workdays in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vaporwave\">vaporwave<\/a> liminal spaces with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@nightdriveprophecy\">NightDriveProphecy<\/a>\u2019s videos as my wallpaper.<\/strong> My grand plan for October this year is to dig into the <a href=\"http:\/\/backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com\/normal-levels-i\">Wikidot version of the Backrooms<\/a> by listening through a bunch of the levels to get more familiar with the territory, but until I get that set up, I\u2019m wandering other liminal spaces. I ran across this channel a while back with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iauM7lDMTrs\"><strong>\uff25\uff34\uff25\uff32\uff2e\u200a\u200a\uff21\u200a\u200a\uff2c\u2003\uff2f\uff26\uff26\uff29\uff23\uff25 \u2122<\/strong><\/a> video, and last week I binged a bunch of its others. I like to imagine that whatever\u2019s on my desktop background, that\u2019s where I\u2019m working. So last week I did a lot of \u201ctravel\u201d for work to a bunch of slightly surreal malls, superstores, aquariums, spas, water parks, museums, resorts, and random people\u2019s weird homes. The videos are basically slide shows with a background song for each image, so later I\u2019ll be mining their playlists for additions to my Backrooms music.<\/p>\n<h2>Nature<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n<p><strong>I think there were bald eagles at one of my weekly parks.<\/strong> I saw a big bird circling in the sky and thought it was the usual hawk, which I\u2019d seen earlier flying low through the park, but then I realized this new bird was dark with a bright white tail, and then I realized its white head probably meant bald eagle! So out came my phone for a video. I only noticed one until I looked back at the video and saw another farther in the distance. I knew there were bald eagles in this region, but I always think of them as \u201csomewhere else,\u201d not places I frequent. But my boss, who lives near that park, told me the eagles sometimes nest on the light poles there, so maybe I\u2019m in for a closer look!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DAz1rwpOB6t\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
