Opened IG and saw a tagged notification and was Chat Pile using a pedal I made for them on their new record. That’s cool as hell.

I meant to share this the other day but WEAPONS may be the greatest movie I’ve seen in the past decade.

I found out today that the band NOTHING uses a pedal I made and uses it A LOT. That’s cool.

I like this app but I keep forgetting about it. I guess I’ll set reminders to open it up every so often.

I woke up at 1:45 this morning just to have time to finish the coats on these.

Slowly eradicating em dashes from my writing because I am deeply embarrassed at the prospect of anyone thinking I write using AI

I just finished Death Note and I feel like I really could’ve gone without…

This is a daily reminder that it’s hot as hell outside and that it’s okay to stay indoors.

This foot-rest in a shower at a hotel I stayed at last week blew my mind.

Baltimore is cool.

When it’s 95°-105° outside, hearing folks get out of their cars and saying “shiiiit…” under their breath is common here in Alabama.

My 3-year old daughter, as serious as she can be, saw a picture of the “Last Supper” and said: “I forgot to go to that dinner. That’s why I’m not in it.”

It has rained every single day here in Alabama ever since summer started.

Pink has always been a tough color to capture with acid etched pedals. If used as the base, the etched areas will look blended along with the base. However, that doesn’t mean I’m not going to include pink on the aesthetic side of things. Pink platter and blue colorshift coat is a nice combo.

These turned out fun.

Yesterday, I received the strangest “compliment” that may top them all. “I wish you were my son when I was younger.” I don’t even know how to take that?

I know Lego and Pokemon are doing some stuff this year but at the spontaneous trip to the Lego expo, I ended up leaving with this.

Went to a Lego expo today with the fam and came back with this.

I have friends everywhere…

Yes, I like Elden Ring that much to release a pedal called Tarnished.

I want to play Oblivion so bad

So, I knew it was going to happen early but was not expecting the 2nd episode of TLOU season 2 to wreck me as much as it did. #thelastofus #tlou

Most know I love Elden Ring so I was pretty excited to do this etch.

My kids call Waffle House - “Waffle Home” I will not correct them.

So if you need a new show to watch, check out Common Side Effects. It’s good. It’s Adult Swim too.

The kiddos have started watching Mighty Morphing Power Rangers and while it was playing in the background, I heard (I assume a villain) yell out: “What’s up Power Dweebs!”. I might’ve laughed for a solid 10 minutes.

There is so much I want to do. Write, create and put music. Make more pedals. Do more acid etching for other pedal pals. Travel to see friends and locally. Do more spontaneous things with the family. Do collab stuff. I could go on forever. Yet, time is not on our side.

I don’t know if this is a common thing to know or not but during 2020, I learned that people will spend $100+ on a pen. That’s still mind boggling to me.

Yesterday, my 3 year old daughter came up to me with a dollar bill and said: “Look! It’s Din Djarin!” Din Djarin is the Mandolorian. My daughter believes George Washington is Din Djarin and no, I did not correct her.

Acid Bubbles

With every season of Dark, I’ve had to take a month break with how bleak and depressing it is to where it was starting to get to me. Well, a month has passed. Time to finally finish Dark.

Been working on a music project with some good buds lately. If you know what the name is referencing, then you have good taste: Doctor Girlfriend

I’ve always been bad at keeping a pedal I make for myself. Especially when it’s this guy, DUST, which is definitely the pedal I’ve made the most of. Well, I decided to change that and made myself one along with the batch I’m currently working on.

I wish everyone liked green pedals as much as I do.

Today is a good day. Today, for the first time ever, was called a boomer all because I wouldn’t ship a pedal to Brazil.

Come to Alabama. Where it’s 75° the week before and then see your car frozen solid in the morning the next week.

“Turn this TV off” got me with that halftime show.

Tonight, I made a 2 tray’s of BBQ nachos covered with swirls of drizzled BBQ sauce along with thinly sliced chives and a small section with jalapeños for the fam who’s visiting out-of-state. They asked if I cooked because of the Super Bowl. I didn’t even know the Super Bowl was happening…

look at this

Etched one more small run before taking a break on these to focus on something new in the works. I went a little wild with the finish but honestly, I’m all for it. These turned out so nice.

I’m going to go ahead and say it and no one is going to like it. Dark > Stranger Things

The fact the coffee shop I go to on the way to work roasts my ass for not using the mobile app to order my coffee makes me like them even more.

Bluey runs in our veins in this household.

It’s funny how this is the oddball of the DSD line but it being a personal favorite of mine on bass. Always on. Dirty JFET style preamp sound. In some cases, it’s all I need.

Around a month ago, I started watching Dark but it’s taking me so long to get through it (like, I just finished the first season this week) because I gotta take a break with how depressing everything is. Good show but it’s “Dark”.

Some know already but I’ll share anyway. I really like making dumb wild videos.

I wonder if FB/Insta/Meta hates Bluesky? I thought of this because there is no “Share to Bluesky” option in either one.

Apparently you can only share 4 photos at a time here so I did a small collage of stuff I do and have done. Most already know that I follow or follow me but I mean, I don’t know who all is here? So yeah, effects pedals and acid etching.

Okay, I’m here because y’all told me so. Now what?
