At The Neptune to see @psbhq.bsky.social

@psbhq.bsky.social safe travels and see you in Seattle on Monday!

Buying local. Holiday cards are coming from the fab Katie at Little Green Designs. I'm a multi-time customer, and her work is first class. littlegreendesign.com

@elefantrecords1.bsky.social I was so impressed with the customer care from Elefant Records. Emailed checking on the delivery status of vinyl, amidst the import/tariff craziness.

Black Friday. Support local.

I hope Don Letts has a tribute to Jimmy Cliff. Sad news.

Forest done good.

I really dislike the NYT Thursday crosswords.

I ma making leek and aged cheddar soufflé. It's either going to be incredible, or inedible. It looks and smells splendid already.

Jeffrey Epstein appeared to text with Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands) during Michael Cohen's 2019 congressional hearing and may have influenced her questions. Text message time-stamp match up with hearing video reviewed by The Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

@psbhq.bsky.social wish I could have made the Paradiso gig - Elfstedentocht live! In the meantime, counting the days until Seattle. Last time (pre covid!!) was an absolute blast.

Anchovies are the bomb.

Aurora from the Quah.

Ubiquiti NVR didn't come back from a scheduled firmware update. Reset and restore from backup...

Well - my early flight to Miami is cancelled. No capacity for sensible routing, and high risk of being stranded. Trip cancelled. The knock-on effects for business and leisure destinations is going to be insane.

Penalties. Again? The cruelest finish.

Not ideal. Need to score two.

Well. Sounders are Soundering.

Nouhou red today. Wrap up his season.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

Thursday night. Calling my electeds.

Come on King County Elections - get them numbers out.

Watching election results.

Spent the evening with some M, DAX, Azure Graph Queries, and Azure Resource Manager API calls. Nice data, all validated, pretty PowerBI visuals.

What a gig

The Decemberists with The Seattle Symphony. Wow.

This Neagle guy looks good.

Off to see Thde Decemberists tonight.

Today was mostly spent watching Azure Front Door on the struggle bus. Which was nice.

Full five second power out. Wonder if it's going off again. #wawx #issaquah

The app for the oven is updated, and now supports Celcius. The little things that please me.

Wind picking up, it's miserable outside. #wawx #issaquah

Ballteam are playing an important ballgame.

I'm listening to the new Nightbus on streaming because for some reason it's stuck on the way into the US. :/ I was well behaved for the Saint Etienne - but this LP reminds me of Slow Readers Club and much before. Proper earworms.

One of the most effective acts of resistance you can perform right now is to block the MAGA trolls and gov accounts that recently arrived here. They're here to bait, screen-cap, and then use your out-of-context quips into fuel for their bonfires. Don't give them a single scrap. Block and be done.

I think the baseball thing just did a thing.

I can't imagine the impact of playing for five hours, celebrating, then flying to Toronto, and doing it again.

Saint Etienne - International Finally arrived amidst the tarrifs and shipping malarkey.

Now I'm not really a follower of the American bat and ball sport. What I will say though, the Mariners did the thing. #goms

James, Showbox. Good gig.

I saw news of a red card, I assumed it was Nouhou..

Words.

Listening to some Orbital. Top.

Tofu massaman curry.

Signed up for another masters degree for 2026.

Cripes. It's pouring in the Quah.

Portland, OR is a splendid place. Footy team we have some rivalry with, there's a fog of pot smoke and a gentle aroma of piss, but the people, the food, the vibe, the bookstores. Not a war zone.
