Sometimes, depending on the food, I take off my shirt when I eat. I know who I am. Not in public, yet, though.

I wrote this during COVID, but never published it. This last week has reminded me how much I need catharsis at regular intervals. www.ourgeekthisweek.com/2025/10/2/wa... #Walking #JustKeepWalking

My beard has reached that length where it annoys me. This typically results in my desire to trim it down very short instead of just giving it a quick trim. #beards

Not sure how or when this happened, especially as traditionally I do not drink a lot of coffee, but at some point I decided that I have a favorite coffee mug. ☕ #MSU #GoGreen #coffee

#PROTIP - Always make sure you are muted BEFORE blowing your nose during a video conference. Turning your camera off keeps people from watching you blow your nose, but they can still very much hear you.

It's incredibly risky to remix a well-known classic and have it work as well as this does, but NIN & Boys Noize have pulled it off. thistrackisfire.blogspot.com/2025/09/nine... @nin.com #NineInchNails #BoysNoize #NineInchNoize

Yesterday tickets for M, the latest @depechemode.com concert film went on sale. Sadly, it looks like the only showing will be in Ann Arbor. It reminded me of the time when I thought I didn’t get tickets to see Depeche Mode in Vegas. www.ourgeekthisweek.com/2025/09/18/m... #DepecheMode

If you are so inclined, Please go to support.abc.com and "submit programming feedback," tell them to reinstate Kimmel. Takes about a minute. Let's flood them.

If you like your dance music with a stompy, Industrial edge, allow me to introduce you to Sid Le Rock; this is my favorite track from the latest Bandcamp Friday. thistrackisfire.blogspot.com/2025/09/sid-... #SidLeRock #DarkTechno #DeepHouse #IndieDance #Techno #Berline

This is 100% propaganda. Is there extremity on both sides? Of course, there always will be, but remember it's MAGA that stormed the Capitol on January 6th, not the left. And the left didn't storm shit in 2025. Do not believe the lies.

Seriously, what a @garbage.com weekend. 😉 www.ourgeekthisweek.com/2025/09/15/t... #OurGeekThisWeek #Garbage #goodmusic
