someone shared Rosalia's Lux album on bsky today, about how good it is. It's not a genre i normally go to (Pitchfork describes it as avant garde classical pop) but I decided to give it a try driving around with my daughter and we were both

Northern lights from NC. Not really visible with naked eye but a camera with 3s exposure really picked up those pinks. They aren’t at all visible in the southern sky. Really lovely color! #nature #northernlights https://some.pics/6914006c05f15

Gonna finally setup my home office to be more than just a surface for my laptop. Any cheap but quality monitor, keyboard, mouse suggestions? Work machine is a MacBook Pro and personal is an Air - would want compatibility with both if possible.

Kids asked what I listened to as a kid and #fiveironfrenzy came to mind so I played some. β€œGet Your Riot Gear” came on and dang that song from like 1998 hits now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=1ZoFdabP6KhHs1FT&v=WrDo2qM6yms&feature=youtu.be

It was a busy weekend! We spent Friday downtown because my daughter had a teen event at an indie bookstore so we hung around at a local coffee shop with our son. On Saturday we spent the afternoon at the No Kings protest doing what needed doing. On Sunday we

This week was good because my wife got not 1 but 2 job offers. On the same day. Within an hour of each other. They were both really good offers and the decision seemed to be just about as traumatic as the job search itself but she decided and starts

For the second weekend in a row it was just me and the kids. Last weekend my wife had a book club retreat and this weekend she had a ladies sunday school retreat. For the second weekend in a row we had a crappy "Friday Night Dinner" experience.

It's kind of hard to believe August is over. It's also kind of hard to believe the week is already over. While we are at it, it's also hard to believe we live in a time where the US president is declaring war on

This YT feels like necessary watching. It's not easy & the frank discussions of genocide could be triggering (take it slow or don't watch if so). It's important for understanding the current situation though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwpanShgOp4

When I started the omglol interview series on my blog I wondered what I’d do if someone I interviewed left the omglol community and decided on β€œnot much of anything” because the people in the community are open, welcoming, inclusive and sincerely worth knowing. Some links might go stale

I thought I'd detail my process of self hosting ghost, in case it'd help anyone. It's required quite a bit of tinkering to get fully setup (but half of that is probably self-inflicted).

Because @cory reminded me of it, I'll share this epic Sufjan song that I've never seen released anywhere. It's called Majesty Snowbird and it's 10 minutes of glorious instrumentation and vocals.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGiat_6BFI0
