Question: is it better to be chronically late by 15 minutes, or chronically early by 15 minutes? I think conventional wisdom is "if you're early you're on time, if you're on time, you're late." But I think always showing up early, especially to someone's house, is also potentially rude.

@noodlesoft.com I just submitted a support request, here is a screenshot to show what I meant.

My first 3 attempts at using Image Playground on iPadOS 27 gave me "An error occurred creating this image." Not inspiring confidence.

That was a pretty boring #WWDC keynote, but at the same time, I think the family-management features are amazing and much needed. I was most excited about Golden Gate addressing all of the Tahoe UI garbage, which is pretty nerdy. I want those improvements right now. Hope the PSotU is more exciting.

The AppleTV show "Margo's Got Money Trouble" is great. The finale was super satisfying. Do recommend.

Hell yeah, Angine de Poitrine shout-out on @atp.fm Going to see them in Toronto in July and again at FoV2 in August. So happy they're continuing to breaj into mainstream.

@liss.bsky.social One more fun thing. My demo app for the Songfish API. An even faster elgoose brower -> timeland.ninecubeslabs.com/goose/

Phish, NYE 2010, Ghost. The so-called "Holy Ghost." So 👏 damned 👏 good 👏

This is a reminder that if you spell the word "ketchup" as "catsup" - a whole bunch of people almost certainly find you annoying and just aren't telling you.

This weekend was my first 3-night Phish run with no new-to-me songs. #FunFact

I don’t know how to properly describe how surreal it is to be successfully communicated to by Iran through propaganda LEGO videos

It's almost impossible to choose a favorite #KGLW song given the expanse of genres covered, but every time I hear "Blue Morpho" I an entranced and get convinced that it's the one. It's probably not. But for this 3m51s chunk of time it is.

Oh man, setting my iPhone to silence unknown callers is game changing in the best way possible.

I'm not sure anyone cares, but here's my update on my desktop #Linux journey. Keep in mind, I’ve been using Linux for about 27 years, and a few were on my primary workstation. That was primarily Mandrake in like 2002-2003. I stopped using it around 2004, and shifted to Mac OS X > OS X > macOS. /cont

1000th NYT Connections

Update to the "Setlist Momentum" concept I introduced the other day on @allthings.umphreys.com. Now, instead of just looking over the last two years, we're weighting more recent performances. That also lets me show a trend (heating, cooling, stable). My hope is to bring this to @phish.net too!

Today, I introduced a new concept called "Setlist Momentum" to ATU @umphreys.com. Momentum gives a better indicator of how frequently a song is played over the last 2 years, far more useful than "ever." It's a better representation of what's being played THESE DAYS, and helpful for song chasers.

This was my Wordle board for yesterday (so no longer a spoiler) #phish

Hey King Gizzard fans, if you're not deep-diving Angine de Poitrine right now, are you even a real fan? #kglw #kinggizzard youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so?...

Today, I enabled the All Things @umphreys.com API. I hope people find it & do cool things with it. For now, it's compatible with the @songfishapp.com API, which also powers @elgoose.net @kglw.net @eggymusic.bsky.social @greenday.fm @neighbortunes.bsky.social and more. allthings.umphreys.com/api/docs

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Ahem.

Happy 28th Birthday to you—well, us, but mostly you. Thanks for letting us keep doing this. Download this week's birthday show for free. Our gift to you. Link in bio. Mad love. ❤️ –UM

My favorite King Gizzard song? The Land Before Timeland. Wait, Loyalty. No, Robot Stop. Hold up, Pleura. Actually, Witchcraft. Maybe Dragon? Definitely Cyboogie. Supercell? Magma! Hmm. I got it: Inner Cell. Probably. 🤔

Hot take: Spock's Brain is not a very good song. that's sad, I would love to see it just for the rarity factor!

I've waited 3 years to make this post

I hate to be an old 1.0'er but I don't know that there is ever going to be a peak for me quite as high as me finally seeing The Curtain With for the first time. I remember the night at debut after a gap of over 1000 shows. This was before we knew anything could potentially be back in rotation. 1/2

Meanwhile, on the TikTok shop...

Yesterday was my birthday, and I am sad to report that I have officially entered my "multiple readers kept in multiple spots" era. #Eras

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social Thinking of you www.instagram.com/reel/DSGsdLX...

There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady who's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick with that, everything else is cream cheese.

Snagged my @kglw.net 3-day Forest Hills passes and submitted my ticket request for @phish.com at The Sphere. It's a good week - an expensive week, but a good week.

Runaway Gin tonight! #Phish

@discontinuedfoods.bsky.social The best ice cream flavor I ever had was called "Bumble Buzz" and AFAICT it was only available in summer `05 from Baskin Robbins. That yellow honey ice cream w/ fudge and chocolate covered honeycomb bits was TOP TIER. The internet remembers! chatgpt.com/share/6924a2...

Hey, if you're considered upgrading to a REAL pair of cans, check out Meze. The Poet, the Liric II (my fave), or if you prefer an in-ear, the Alba, are all solid choices for excellent sound.

Plenty of people have tried to write guide to "Get Into Gizz." I took a shot as well. Should the mood strike this we’kend, I hope someone enjoys: music.apple.com/us/playlist/... music.youtube.com/playlist?lis... * note: they're not on Spotify

Left my iPad on a #Delta flight. It's still checking to Find My. I submitted a lost baggage form with all the info, they say they're "diligently searching" for it. When I call, they direct me back to the same form. But I know where it is - I see it in Find My! Anyone got thoughts or connections?

@grammargirl.bsky.social really enjoyed your interview with @natanlast.bsky.social! Fascinating stuff, who knew there was such a lag in publication?

Spontaneous synchronicity at KGLW @ Electric Brixton

Omg Gizz dropped the debut of Hells Itch tonight in Manchester! I'm on a flight on my way to London to see two KGLW shows, but that was a surprise! If we're doing debuts, how about The Land Before Timeland, Catching Smoke, or Fishing for Fishies?

@bsky.app your new update turned you're beautiful iOS dark mode icon into a wonderful but very out of place bright blue one. Was that intentional?

It's full circle that I now use this site almost daily. Only a few days until I head to London for a few KGLW shows. How the turntables have... anyway, check out this recap celebrating 3 years of @kglw.net!

Thank God for Apple's walled garden, protecting us from stuff like this

I think about this a lot. There are a bunch of names that I enjoy filling in on PTI, but it's hard to imagine it without the current hosts. In fact, as much as I love Wilbon, I have to admit, even if he stays, it's hard for me to picture it without Kornheiser. www.outkick.com/analysis/wha...

@panic.com @cabel.panic.com Is there any chance you guys might offer a Transmit 5 update that simply updates the Dock icon so that it's Tahoe compatible? It's one of two icons I've still got stuck in squircle jail. Thanks for considering it!

@brianmc.bsky.social you probably saw this but... m.slashdot.org/story/447136

My favorite KGLW albums this week are Laminated Denim and LW. I refuse to apologize for this. #kglw
