LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT ai
Been playing around with Perplexity.ai and, on a whim, asked it about LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT. Delivered the standard answers - lost, never found, frames etc etc - but it did include something I didn’t know: that there’s a full script out there (which I should've known, given the photo recreation of the film from 2002 but hey). Anyhow, got me to thinking: given that there’s a script and plenty of stills and fragments (and the 2002 reconstruction) extant, could AI be used to recreate the complete film as it was when it premiered? A search for the 2002 recreation yielded this bit of brilliance, from someone who made an amazing (though obviously not perfect) go at recreating a few minutes of the film with AI. Excited by the potential here and what it could mean for lost films as a whole.

MOUSE (teaser)
No clue when this will come out, but please make it soon, Fumi: I have an urgent need to play this.
In the wake of the reMarkable2's fall from utility, I’ve switched over (switched back, technically) to Baron Fig's Confidant Plus notebooks. I’ve used the flagship size for years, but found them too small to replicate the systems I'd developed in the rm2 (namely, scribbling rough drafts and word salads to find some rhythmic combination that speaks to me in addition to my journals and etc). Plus size (blank, as that’s the only thing available) seems like this is the best fit for my writing needs. Bonus: the CP is the same size as the rm2 so it fits in the leather folio I had been using for the digital chickenscratching. So far so good.
