Welcome back... to another weekly episode... of the
🐸 TODEPOND PONDCAST 🐸
What's new this week?
We got accepted!
We got accepted. Dave Ackley and I got accepted for Onward! Essays!, which will take place at SPLASH later this year. We're both really pleased!
The next step is to come up with, and plan, our accompanying talk for the event itself. And that's what we've started doing this week.
I think we can have some fun with the talk, to make it engaging and compelling and uhh— whatever it is. The essay itself is a "dialogue". As in... it's me and Dave having a chat. So the talk itself can also be a dialogue of some sort— at least— It can have one or two fun dialogue sections, probably near the start and the end.
The essay is called "Dialogues on Natural Code", so the talk can be called "Dialogues on Dialogues on Natural Code". I guess it's the same as my usual recursive rubbish.
By the way, Dave spoke a bit about it in his update this week. But note that this video was recorded before we heard the good news.
Three and a half weeks
I mentioned last week that I've been really busy and overwhelmed. So I turned it into a mini video, a tiny bonus episode. Watch it here.
I mean it's mainly a slideshow set to some music that I made in strudel, with some B-roll thrown in for good measure like usual.
I'm happy to get out a small handful of bonus episodes during the droughts between videos. But... I don't know, maybe I shouldn't do them. Maybe I should just focus on the main episodes. I am still working tons on the next video, Top 99 Ways To Make Sand, but I'm not sharing much because there isn't much to share.
