Open post Dan Bruno @danbruno@xoxo.zone · 2mo ago Replying to @darius@friend.camp Discovered today that one of the most formative books of my childhood, Math For Smarty Pants (1983), is available as a full PDF online: https://arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/mathpants.pdf It's not a super well known book, though I bet there are plenty of Fediverse nerds who loved it as much as I did. The book was full of cool math stuff, but also wonderful cartoons and stories. Reading the sentence "The mathematician believed that every rule probably has exceptions" at age 7 basically cemented who I am @darius@friend.camp Oh wow I had this book too! I hadn't thought about it in decades, incredible

Beer and many false starts but it’s an honest performance, aside from the bass track I put on after. So sue me. Thankfully you can’t hear the dogs galloping above us upstairs, which is one of the many fun perks of recording in our basement. <br />Felt saucy, might delete later.<br /><a href="https://musicians.today/tags/bgm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bgm</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/Olivia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Olivia</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/live" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>live</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/FromABasement" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FromABasement</span></a> <a href="https://musicians.today/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>music</span></a></p> @bgm man I remember when you posted this song on metafilter. That feels like another lifetime
