kept
the things that survived a few moves and a lot of tab closing. hardware i still reach for, names i outgrew, and one page that felt handmade. books and records will land here when they earn a paragraph.
tool
things 3, still
the reference point for taste. i keep opening other task managers and closing them again, usually within the hour.
object
pioneer ddj-flx4, still
the dj controller. the fastest way i know to stop thinking about work, which is the only reason it has survived three moves.
object
astell & kern sp3000 ultra, still
a dedicated music player in the year of the phone. indefensible on paper. i have made my peace with that.
object
adam t7v, still
monitors that tell the truth about a mix, which is not always what you want to hear at one in the morning.
object
two watches, one wrist, still
an apple watch ultra 2 and a garmin marq gen 2, in rotation, for reasons i can no longer reconstruct honestly.
name
loks.sh, 2026
the one that finally fit in a hostname. i am trying not to buy another domain about it.
name
505, still
looks like an error code because it is one. http version not supported. a useful attitude toward the current version of personal websites.
place
lokesh.red, earlier
the red one. looked like a startup, felt like a nickname. i still like the colour more than i liked the idea of being a brand.
place
theloki.xyz, earlier
the houseplant domain. i watered it exactly as often as you would expect.
page
the making of cursor's icons, 2026
i saved this because the drawings felt like someone was actually in the room. that is the whole standard now.
