Week -1: winter break
Goals I want to keep in mind this trimester:
⟢ Keep taking notes. Halfway through SI28 I got so busy I forgot to update my wiki and I think a lot of my detailed thoughts were lost because of that.. So I want to stay on track during this SI.
⟢ Be intentional with my time and create balance. Don't overfill my schedule. Create intentional spaces for self-care + being social.
⟢ Find the joy in my practice. Have fun and don't put too much pressure on myself. I feel a bit lost in what I enjoy doing/making exactly. I'd like to return to drawing again.
Week 0: snow!!!

Websites
Doriane showed us her personal website which made me reflect a lot on my own neocities website which I put so much effort in setting up but hasn't been updated for like.. a year.
Her philosophy behind website-making as not a finished product but a constant growing and creating process feels like exactly the way of thinking I was missing. I focus so much on making a website look pretty that adding more content that doesn't fit the structure would mean having to redesign it all over again.
I feel very inspired by her website structure where she can keep adding anything she wants without having to fit it into a set of categories. I think something like that would work a lot better for me too.
HowSpots
I loooove everything about HowSpots! What an amazing idea. It immediately made me want to host something like this for my friends.. I wish I had the space for it myself, but maybe I can ask around if someone else could host. Doriane's motivations behind creating the HowSpots reminded me a lot of a recent People Make Games video about the Microsoft/XBOX boycott. Should rewatch that especially in prep for the datacenter topic in a few weeks.
P2P and SoulSeek
After getting a detailed explanation of how P2P works and what SoulSeek is I spent the evening exploring the application for some music!! It reminded me a lot of how I used to download music from YouTube to my first smartphone's SD card. My iPod library feels a little more fleshed out now with my fav music I couldn't find through CD/bandcamp :) and I uploaded some of my ripped CD's in return!
