Day 80: Laboratory of Glamour
2026-04-27
Hello! I'm just realizing that the amount of readers viewing through a RSS feed probably outnumber the readers viewing through email. That's unnerving, because I don't know who any of you are. If my posts have been aggregated somewhere, let me know! I don't know you exist unless you email me.
Anyway, I need to add SPAM meat to my "do not eat" list. I had some sliced SPAM for hot pot a few days ago — the only time I ever have it! — and it's just so fatty and salty. I might want to try it on musubi, but this American war food really has an awful aftertaste and is leaving me feeling icky for so long. This has nothing to do with today's photo, but as I write this, I'm still feeling a bit nauseous.
I took just under twenty photos in one day, stopping to capture any interesting viewpoints. I don't have a style, and if you scroll through my website, you'll know that anything goes. That will extend to the next few weeks as I get through my final exams and projects; unless something really cool pops up, photography will be on the back burner.
This is still pretty cool! I walked through a university and found this architect's dream of a laboratory building. All the sources for the design of this building seem to be by the architect themselves (creating an obvious conflict-of-interest) so I won't link them here. But apparently, the big orange louvers on the left can turn based on where the sun is in the sky.
I waited at this spot for a few minutes for someone to walk by. I set my focus point on them and captured the image.
... How the hell do I transition to today's final topic? It's gonna have to be a hard pivot, because now I want to talk about BeepBox.
BeepBox is this music creation website. It's like Google's Music Labs, but better. You can play around with different sounds, make your own sounds, and sketch out great melodies. I've experimented with it for a few months, but I find myself sitting in envy at the huge archive of other music creators. Give it a try, and if you make something you're proud of, send it my way.
