Was listening to Hayato Suminos Album while entering the book shop at the train station. First random page I opened was an article about him. Figured that's a sign. So I bought it.

Endecha (Lament) - Oremus (Let us pray) by Francisco Tarrega, often played together so I did too. Oremus turns out to be an arrangement from the second part of Schumann's Phantasietanz op 124, no.5 and was the last piece Tarrega wrote before his death. Hence historians speculate he was gonna transcribe the whole thing but we'll never know.

Just finished the glass cage by Nicholas carr and can't get over how relevant this is. Plus he quotes Hannah Arendt which validates me further as someone who read her mammoth book as a project recently. 🫡 Also Shoutout @chukwukaosakwe who's a big advocate of this book.

I always found the "vehicle for the last mile" pitch weird. Like we have 2 legs for the last mile... don't we? Anyway, just walk. Also seemingly scooters users have less respect for the place they park these things than the people using the bikes. For some reason, these scooters always stand most obnoxiously in the way. https://youtu.be/91Oyd7zK1bk?si=kYJd0xRAqwRzZ5Ra

A fact brought to you by NaomiGPT. Out of curiosity I asked both Claude and ChatGPT whether Brahms ever specified that the Adagio was inspired by Clara. Both said no. However, he wrote in a letter from 1856 to Clara, quite explicitly that ..."I am also painting a gentle portrait of you, which shall become the Adagio." It makes me wonder, if we become more reliant on these, do they get to decide what information matters? Feels like a bad idea. Probably warrants a deeper exploration. Anyway, for the people who want to read the whole letter: https://sbd.schumann-portal.de/briefe.html?show=22615

Brahms Piano Concert #1 can also go on the list of piano concerts starting strong... So much drama, but the second movement is, as Brahms wrote to Clara Schumann in a letter, a portrait of her. Very romantic. https://youtu.be/mNcQGsF2uIw?si=dk1Uo-mwTSaKnglc

Saw this the other day. It's tarot and you can learn everything about your future. Every question 18 €. What a great system, I need to start charging my boss like that. 😆

After I bothered a friend with octopus/squid facts recently, he visited me today and got me this 😂 Sometimes having random useless knowledge about eight legged creatures gets you plush toys.

The only wrapped I looked at this year is the Farcaster Wrapped ‘24! 🎉 I love all my top fans @maurice, @july, @ahn.eth, @chukwukaosakwe, @chandresh.eth and those who don't show up in here 💚 I'm especially happy about all the people who sent me postcards and let me send them some - in an industry so obsessed with trustlessness - this feels pretty big. Hoping to meet more Casters irl in 2025! :)) Frame built by @vidhatha

Speaking of Schubert I'm reminded of the person who made an Onigiri of him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTlqIKjrR8E/

Sorry to the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria Crowd - I pick Schubert.

Gm, Every day is a good day to listen to Sakamoto, but one week before Christmas is especially good for Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. https://youtu.be/LGs_vGt0MY8?si=oRfy-bjEH1BSi0X0

Received my volunteer pass for 2025 - an initiative by the city to thank volunteers. Insane selection of places to visit at a discounted rate (116) among other things 25% discount on Mitsuko Uchidas Piano recital in May and a free Pana Cotta at an Italian chain.

GM, decided to write a little about a notion that's been in my mind for some time. In the words of Bruno Mars: Easy come, easy go. https://paragraph.xyz/@cryptonao/effortless
